Steps to reproduce

1. Wait for update to be available, or choose some item to remove, and proceed
2. Click "Details" button once shown
3. Observe that c h a r a c t e r s a r e d o u b l e - s p a c e d
4. Once finished, check the log under View => Information and see that characters showing d a t e a n d t i m e are also double-spaced. By marking one character you can see that the extra spacing is caused by wider bounding box, not an added space.

Expected behaviour
Characters should be single-spaced because double-spacing makes them hard to read.

Additional context
I thought perhaps it is a font issue, but this does not appear to be the system default monospace font, so I can't seem to be able to change it. The equivalent dialog in Synaptic does not show double spaces, but it uses a different font so perhaps it's unrelated.

If the problem is with text not getting displayed correctly, paste the output of the terminal command locale.
