there is also something weird going on in text edit:

Yikes! This font was produced with 2015-era color font technology and I think it is overdue for a rebuild. I’m sorry for the trouble with that. I don’t know exactly what’s going on but I agree this is probably a font issue and not a drawbot issue.

It seems like the SVG-in-OT font gets better results:

At this point I think the SBIX font can probably get removed. Thanks for letting me know about this!

It's the "BungeeColor-Regular_sbix_MacOS.ttf" font that does the wobble. The CPAL/COLR ("Windows") and SVG fonts indeed work fine.

size(350,250)

p = '/Users/just/Downloads/fonts/Bungee_Color_Fonts/BungeeColor-Regular_sbix_MacOS.ttf'

# p = '/Users/just/Downloads/fonts/Bungee_Color_Fonts/BungeeColor-Regular_svg.ttf'

# p = '/Users/just/Downloads/fonts/Bungee_Color_Fonts/BungeeColor-Regular_colr_Windows.ttf'

font(p)
s = 13
y = 10
for line in range (5):
    fontSize(s)
    text ("The quick brown fox", (10, y))
    s += 2
    y += 30

Could even be an OS issue: presumably it worked fine in 2015!
