toki-pona glyph has badly-aligned pona?

looks like it's shifted to the left (this is on Font Book on OSX)

That's odd, it looks ok for me (Firefox, Ubuntu):

Is it only in Font Book that it's misaligned?

i've pasted it into numbers and textedit :

It looks like it jiggles about at different font sizes, but is fine once big enough. I can see it might be awkward to solve generally...pixel/subpixel alignment is often no fun!

Mm, I'd say this is a font rendering issue, I'm not sure there's anything I can do to fix it in the font itself generally. I guess I could add a precomposed glyph specifically for toki-pona, if it's uniquely problematic?

I guess I could add a precomposed glyph specifically for toki-pona, if it's uniquely problematic? I tried checking other characters but I've been staring it is so much that I can't tell if any given alignment is nice and balanced or not anymore - if you have any you'd like me to check out I can do that. I don't know if "toki-pona" comes up enough that it's worth catering for especially - then that might also trigger people feeling odd about other gifs.

Here's the comparison of the v3 version (suitably downsized)

random other toki-[X] ones if you want to see
