When a variable width font (e.g. Times Roman) is selected as the display font for xfce4-terminal, the text of a character is positioned at the left hand side of the character cell.  For letters like i, j and l this looks very poor.  The font character should be positioned horizontally in the centre of the cell, and not at the left margin.  (This same bug is present in every terminal I have ever seen, including xterm, but that has an especially creative way of displaying a string.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open xfce4-terminal
2. Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Font => Times New Roman
3. Type "fix" at the command prompt.

Actual Results:  
The terminal displays the "i" of "fix" much closer to the "f" than to the "x":
fi  x

Expected Results:  
I expected the "i" to be centered:
f i x

Handling of over-width characters is also a little flaky - especially "W" - the cell width seems to be chosen poorly in some respects.  These should also be centered, unless a more flexible character cell could be made ...
