Raising the severity to important since problems are known, this
is some form of regression, and this bug is really annoying.

This was the solution in tetex:

% Character shifting.  You may have wanted to do this when using the
% BlueSky/AMS/Y&Y fonts, a long time ago, to work around various
% bugs in ancient versions of Acrobat Reader, but it should no longer

% G
