What steps will reproduce the problem?

the sentence

bug in the font.
It's just the way the rasterizer works... All glyphs having negative side 
bearings gets cropped if they appear at the begging of a sentence. The same 
happens to all other fonts in the directory... just try Open Sans, Roboto, 
Lato, Etc... same results."
