I tried with different .ttf fonts - tahoma, arial, comic, bold fonts - the result was the same. When I try to call the code that measures the string size, FT_Outline_Get_CBox returns zeroes for space character. Hence the width of the string is calculated incorrectly - without taking spaces into account.
