"Waiter" and "Hunter" don't appear in name box? [SOLVED]

Solution:
I found out that the issue happened because of the GUI file. Further testing then revealed that the font for the namebox apparently...hated "er" together. I added kerning around the r, now the names are shown just fine.

Code: Select all

define ober = Character("Waite{k=.5}r{/k}", color="#ffffff",who_bold=False, who_outlines=[ (2, "#3d3d3d") ], ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
Original Problem:
So I got a bunch of characters, including a waiter and a hunter that are unnamed.
All names are fine, but these two cause some serious issues:

The script for all of these is essentially the same:

Code: Select all

define inc = Character("Incognito", color="#ffffff",who_bold=False, who_outlines=[ (2, "#3d3d3d") ], ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
define hunters = Character("Hunters", color="#ffffff",who_bold=False, who_outlines=[ (2, "#3d3d3d") ], ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
define clar = Character("Clara", color="#ffffff",who_bold=False, who_outlines=[ (2, "#3d3d3d") ], ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
define arn = Character("Arne", color="#ffffff",who_bold=False, who_outlines=[ (2, "#3d3d3d") ], ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
define pat = Character("Patrick", color="#ffffff",who_bold=False, who_outlines=[ (2, "#3d3d3d") ], ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
define ober = Character("Waiter", color="#ffffff",who_bold=False, who_outlines=[ (2, "#3d3d3d") ], ctc="ctc_animation", ctc_position="fixed")
But the waiter and the hunters always appear off to the side, with parts of the name missing.
My first guess was that the wait in waiter perhaps was the problem, but then why is the e also missing? And what is a command line from hunt?

But yeah, anyone have any idea why this is happening?
And especially how to fix it?
