Roboto font rendering issue

      I have some font rendering problems on Mac OSX when using e.g. the Roboto Thin font. The font is rendered with incorrect letter spacing - the letters touch each other. Notice the I as well, how it's not rendered correctly in the middle between the H and the N.

      Using the following code I get the result in the first screenshot. 

      import QtQuick 2.3
Item {
    width: 250
    height: 50
    FontLoader {
        id: myFont
        source: "Roboto-Thin.ttf"
    }
    Text {
        font.pixelSize: 40
        font.family: myFont.name
        text: "THIN FONT"
    }
}

      Using the same font in TextEdit I get the result in the second screenshot. This is how the font should look.
