I'm getting the following behaviour on my 13-inch Macbook Pro (but not my 15-inch Macbook Pro at work):

It doesn't appear to happen with other interfaces.
I don't know what might have caused it, but it may have happened roughly when I upgraded to El Capitan.

I think this might be worse with some fonts. Is that Tahoma in the screen shot? What size?

Quicksilver Preferences tell me I'm using LucidaGrande 48.0.
I don't believe I've ever changed the font intentionally.

Ah, thanks. I’m able to get characters to overlap with that font. I think I’m just going to add a preference to turn off “tightening” rather than globally disable it.

Until then, you can try another font. None of the other ones I tried overlap like that.

If you set the update type to Developer Previews and get the latest update, there should be a new preference to take care of this.

Is this a setting in the Nostromo interface prefs? Or is it a hidden defaults?

It’s in #2162 @pjrobertson, which was part of dev preview 4017.
