Description

Carlito Regular font has some metric compatibility problem with Calibri. A word formatted using Calibri, that fits into a text box perfectly in PowerPoint, splits to another line when Carlito is applied.

**To reproduce**

Open the attached PPTX:
[stehen.pptx](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/21529373/stehen.pptx)
It has a single text box with a word "stehen", and the box width fits the width of the word.

Apply Carlito font to the box
=> The word is split to the next line:

**Expected behavior**

The word must keep the original layout, since its metrics must match

The same problem can be reproduced with other applications, like LibreOffice Impress.
