Are you sure this is a "problem"? It looks like it's decided the "y"
needs to be over a little further than the font metric table indicates
printing a "c" would leave it, probably some sort of kerning rule
kicking in trying to make it look better, some character pairs need
special spacing to look right. You could try using the troff .cs
command to turn the whole thing off entirely and see if you're happier
with that.
