[Bug 1479310] [NEW] Card symbols in the monospace font are wider than single character should be

 

Public bug reported:

Using font Ubuntu mono regular symbols ♣♦♥♠♧♢♡♤ are rendered about 1.5
times wider than monospace character wide is. That causes it to cover
next character making it very hard to read. Those characters are
U2660-U2667.

Screenshot from gnome terminal showing the problem follows.
