The alphabet sample image has problems too. The space after uppercase G is plentiful compared to the space after uppercase V. Granted VX is not a common letter combination but still this shows some bad kerning nonetheless.

Also I find the hyphen surprisingly wide (in the proportional version). In fact so wide that I keep thinking it's an en–dash and it reduces my reading speed: my brain has to slow down and mentally correct it to hyphen.

So did I! At first I thought that they had inserted en-dashes by some mistake.
