I started to write that I could no longer reproduce the bug... until
I remembered that font config could have some effect, which was
confirmed when I looked at fonts used in the generated PDF file.

If I use

<alias binding="same">
  <family>Helvetica</family>
  <prefer>
    <family>Arial</family>
  </prefer>
</alias>

in my ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf file, then everything is fine.
But if I do not use this, then the spacing is wrong when I open the
SVG file in inkscape.

Note: I initially used the above code to avoid bitmap fonts. Indeed,
without the above code:

$ fc-match Helvetica
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"

and with the above code:

$ fc-match Helvetica
Arial.ttf: "Arial" "Normal"
