Confirmed. STR requires doing Tools -> Customize to add the 'Fontwork' dialog from the 'Format' group to a toolbar (bottom of the Drawing TB works). Selection of one of the draw paths with text and opening the 'Fontwork' drawing tool dialog. On top row of the dialog using the 'Upright' formatting for the shape text. When the line is at 270° or 90° the inter letter vertical spacing varies greatly. Spacing issues continue as the line is rotated around, so seems to be a variable stamping size calculated for each glyph. Couldn't find an Opentype or Graphite example font with 'valt' to see if that helped and changing font to Libertinus Sans does no better than Liberation Sans. And, no better with default GDI+ rendering vs Skia.
