This is most likely due to font substitution of a non-monospaced font. The
Guacamole server needs access to a monospace font in order to render the
terminal. If no such font is installed, then it will do the best it can
with the font it's given, but that means different characters will be
scaled to fit the fixed-width terminal grid. Wider characters like W or M
will end up shrinking, and font metrics won't be quite right.

If you install a monospace font on your Guacamole server, things should
work fine. Your distribution should provide packages for sets of fonts,
some of which will be described as monospaced.
