Nerd fonts MPlus makes char spacing extra wide

🎯 Subject of the issue

⚠️ This is also an issue with ryanoasis/nerd-fonts

In the current matcha version there seems to be a problem with nerd-fonts' patched MPlus font. As soon as I install it, all text in my Gnome shell increases its whitespace to a kinda ridicilous amount. Please view these screenshots for reference.

🔧 Your Setup

• Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo
• matcha version of 07-05-2019
• Current Nerd-Fonts (git clone on 07-05-2019)

I already created an issue over at nerd-fonts' repo ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#348

Is this issue only appear when used with this theme or all themes have this issue?

This issue happens only with Matcha (at least no other gnome shell theme I have installed has the same behaviour). But all Matcha variants have this issue.

And I can verify that this is linked to MPlus since as soon as i remove that font from the (s)css files matcha displays all texts correctly.

As another datapoint the materia theme has this issue as well, https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme. After removing all the NerdFont M+ fonts and replacing them with another M+ font the text is no longer double spaced
