I discussed this on emacs-devel at this link:

David De La Harpe Golden's analysis seems correct to me:

No. but is it desirable to? If emacs says "monospace" to the OS, and
the OS returns something usable (see below), should emacs second guess
it?  The distros with ttf-georgewilliams packages seem to be aware of
the issue and are fixing it by removing or renaming the font in favour
of the de-facto standard "monospace" virtual font name

So, we should probably leave things as they are.  I'll add a note about
this to etc/PROBLEMS.

Ok, I've just uninstalled ttf-georgewilliams package and now the result is ok, see the attached image.

Thanks
