Look at the screenshot.  There's something very wrong with kerning (or hinting?) of the letter 'l'.

I've fonts-cantarell 0.0.11-0ubuntu1 from Ubuntu 13.04 (raring).

This might be a duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643364, but I wasn't sure, so I filed it separately.

"lg" is another pair with very poor kerning.
