Expected Behavior

All fonts behave the same the same way within the bounding box

Current Behavior

Using Century font creates a large gap on the right side of the bounding box that's inconsistent with the behavior of the other fonts, thus making alignment difficult.

Sidebearing shouldn't impact the end of the string more than it impacts the beginning of the string or the kerning between letters.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Add a GDI+ text source
  2. Add text in the default font--notice how it fills the bounding box
  3. Change the font to Century--notice how the right side of the bounding box suddenly jumps away from the text
  4. Change the font back--notice how the bounding box jumps back to be against the text
Anything else we should know?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using a GDI+ text source on Windows 11 with Century and a default font while Custom Text Extents is disabled. Compare the bounding-box behavior and relevant OBS logs; done means Century no longer leaves an inconsistent right-side gap relative to the rendered text.
