The Font Editor shows the characters in a box of different size for each 
character and the "width" gadget at the bottom  shows different width values.
I don't have the sources for FED, so I don't know whether it is because of the
bit Kodiak was talking about, but it sure looks strange.  I don't have SetFont
so if anybody wants to try that and see what happens, we'd appreciate to find
out.
