I spotted something similar when using the Ubuntu fonts in Google Docs.

 From a quick test in VTT, it appears that it only happens when the MS
Cleartype rasterizer is in B&W-metrics-compatible mode. This is a
surprise, as the changes the rasterizer makes to outlines in that mode
are usually quite subtle. We'll investigate and see if we can adjust the
hints so it "does the right thing" by default.
