Description
I am using a ligature font (ligaturized SF Mono, as described [here](https://github.com/blinksh/blink/issues/936)) but the character width seems to be calculated incorrectly so the character indicator caret thingy is at the wrong location.

Research direction
Read the linked Blink issue #936 for the ligaturized SF Mono context, then reproduce the caret-position problem with that font using the GIF as a reference. Trace the character-width and caret-rendering path from the reproduction; done means the character indicator appears at the correct location for ligature fonts.
