bug#39264: 26.3; (frame-char-width) is different from real char width of monospace font 'Noto Sans Mono'

[ynyaaa]

I installed Noto fonts.
With setting frame font to "Noto Sans Mono", which is a monospace font,
(frame-char-width) and the real char width may differ.

For example, using "Noto Sans Mono-13", (frame-char-width) is one pixel larger.
  (progn
    (set-frame-font "Noto Sans Mono-13")
    (list (frame-char-width) (car (window-text-pixel-size nil 1 2))))
  => (11 10)
Then the TAB pixel width is 8 pixels wider than 8 SPCs.
And the frame with 80-character width is wider than a real 80-character line.

Here is a list of problematic combinations of font names and font sizes.
The sizes are selected from between 10 and 20.

;;; NOTE: THIS FORM USE #'set-frame-font MANY TIMES
(let (last cell ret)
  (save-window-excursion
    (with-temp-buffer
      (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))
      (insert ?\s)
      (dolist (family (sort (font-family-list) #'string<))
        (when (and (not (equal family last))
                   (string-match "Noto.*Mono" family))
          (setq cell (list family)
                ret (cons cell ret))
          (dolist (size (number-sequence 10 20))
            (set-frame-font (format "%s-%d" family size))
            (unless (= (car (window-text-pixel-size nil 1 2))
                       (frame-char-width))
              (setq cell (nconc cell (list size))))))
        (setq last family))))
  (nreverse ret))
