Once the Windows version of it comes out, try 0.93, it uses font-config,
so may agree more on fonts.

You can Ctrl+A to select all, and then just move it back and forth a
bit, that should resolve most of it.
It is, however, a problematic issue. Problem is that Win32 and Pango
don't agree on how to render fonts, so they have slightly different
widths, which in turn determines the size of the boxes. Haven't found a
good solution yet.
