Title:
  text recognition errors with some fonts

Status in Sikuli:
  New

Bug description:
  Our app has a default set to use Tahoma for certain display elements
  to guarantee that japanese and chinese characters are properly
  rendered on the app.

  When I use sikuli on Windows (rc2) text recognition with the font set to Tahoma (11).
  It fails to find certain text, mainly letter combinations involving an 'l'.

  
  Examples include: ClearBits, and Playlists.  I assume it's because the character spacing in so close together.

  To reproduce:
   1. Launch Miro (nightly or beta build from http://nightlies.pculture.org)
   2. Launch Sikuli IDE
   3. Try find("ClearBits")  or click("Playlists") 
   Result: recognition fails - even if searching in a very limited region.
   4 Try find("Bits") or 'lists'
   Result: recognition successful.

  
  Additional info - I had similar text recognition issues using the default Ubuntu font on linux maverick, however I was able to workaround by changing the system font preferences to something more machine readable.
