OverBar misaligned relative to text

It doesn't happen in 5.1. In 5.99 the tilde mark ~ is visible besides the overbar.

It was ok for some time in 5.99 until recently.

What happens is that instead of the first over barred character the ~ itself gets drawn.
This happens not only to pins. A net label shows the same behavior.

e.g. ~test~ing gets rendered as see attached.

There has been some work recently that has affected the fonts displayed in Eeschema, so we are seeing some residual bugs from this.

(see lp:1851880).

Well rats. I tried to fix the three-tilda corner case and appear to have broken the single-tilda case.

Looked at lp:1851880. Just compiled the most recent 5.99.0-347-g4d6b0cc3f

The tilde 'effect' is still the unchanged.

Turned out to be an earlier change that broke it.

Still mine, though. :eek: (Will gitlab allow emojis?)

(Moved this to High as it broke the core functionality rather than the corner-case.)

Think so too since I had a look through the code and it took me very deep inside.
Still. I couldn't put my finger on it (yet). Bummer.

Yeepy, that worked.

Current fix only partially covers the overbar issue.
Net names displayed in pcbnew still show misalignment.
See attached screen shot.

The bitmap text routines have the same issue as the stroke font ones....
