Description
Problem
Sometimes there is too much whitespace rendered between digits / numerals.
This seems to be a regression from Parley 0.7 to main, although it looks like the relevant text is being rendered with a different font so I'm unsure if rendering behaviour has actually changed or it's just font selection changes surfacing the issue.
Screenshots
Screenshots are of https://nicoburns.com. The issue is with the text "2016 - 2017":
### Firefox (correct rendering)
Blitz with Parley 0.7 (floats-0.7 branch)
Blitz with Parley main (floats branch)

Research direction
Reproduce the spacing issue using the text "2016 - 2017" and compare the floats-0.7 and floats branches against the Firefox screenshot. Trace the changed font selection or rendering behavior in the relevant Parley code, then verify that numeral spacing matches the correct rendering without regressing other text.
