The "space" character in the Helvetica font is really long

Project Member Reported by ortuno@chromium.org, Jul 17

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 69.0.3493.3
OS Version: 
URLs (if applicable) : https://github.com/mgiuca/badging/blob/master/explainer.md
Other browsers tested: Chrome 68 works fine

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to a page that uses Helvetica

What is the expected result?
Page should show correctly

What happens instead of that?
The space character is really long. Screenshot attached.

I think this might be because I have custom fonts in ~/.local/share/fonts/

Can you test on ToT?  There was a recent fontconfig update which *might* have fixed this.
ToT works! Any chance we can merge the fix? It's been like this for at least two weeks and it's soooo annoying.
Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
The bug was introduced in M69 which hasn't branched yet, so there's no branch to merge to.  The fix landed yesterday, so it should only be a few days until the fix rolls out to the dev channel.
Cool. Thanks!
