If somebody isn't familiar with german: "Neue" means "new". In this
case "over all new" ;-)

"Other changes include improved legibility, heavier punctuation marks,
and increased spacing in the numbers."
I guess they didn't only increased the spacing, but also corrected
some mistakes here.

Are you sure? it's only problematic when there are two 1s next to
each other; a single 1 doesn't cause a shift. Maybe because it's a
fraction of a pixel different in width, but like I said, usually
numbers share the same width.

It seems that if I do a string-to-image --> Billboard, and use

change doesn't happen.
I feel fairly certain that Helvetica is a well-behaved font, in
that the numeral glyphs are all the same width, but that's not
what I'm seeing in QC.
That's not a bug. Helvetica is not a fixed-width font.
Try cramming Helvetica's numbers into an equal-width grid in
photoshop etc., it will look crappy.
