Something strange happens with the following code snippet:

{
    gStyle->SetTextFont(43);
    gStyle->SetTextSize(21);
    auto t = new TLatex(.0, .5, "The longer this first sentence gets, the worse the dot is printed- 60.2 kg#upointyr");
    t->SetNDC();
    t->Draw();
    c1->SaveAs("test.pdf");
}

The text looks fine in the GUI, but the produced PDF is affected by a spacing issue around the dot:

proportional to the length of the sentence. Can you reproduce this issue?

Can you reproduce this issue?

No, I just ran you code on Mac using the master version . I get the same output on screen and on the pdf file.
