ComplexTextController doubly applies space characters’ synthetic bold offset. This is because adjustGlyphsAndAdvances() calls fontData->spaceWidth() [which comes from SimpleFontData::platformWidthForGlyph() and thus includes m_syntheticBoldOffset] but then proceeds to unconditionally adds fontData->syntheticBoldOffset().
UniscribeController::shapeAndPlaceItem() does the same thing, so I’ll apply a blind fix to it at the same time.

I'm not sure why my patch failed the style queue since it succeeds on my machine with r96265.
