Ok, this is definitely off-color. I suspected you writing
\abs-fontsize #20 { word word word } instead of, say,
\abs-fontsize #20 \line { word word word } or
\abs-fontsize #20 { "word word word" }
That would resize the individual words but leave alone the
interword-space. But here actually the letter space is ruined. That
definitely looks like \abs-fontsize is not doing what it should here.
