@unknown This is an old report (Fixed for 1.6.2). Therefore a new bug report can be created rather than reopening a very old one.
This is caused because italic rendering was changed.
The old rendering system added a constant italic slope to the rendered characters, the new rendering system adds a constant italic offset to the characters.
So shorter characters have a seemingly-higher slant because the top and bottom are separated by a constant width.
That is why the period is much more slanted than the quote, and C and c are different if you look closely as well.
This issue is a clone of MC-23928.
