How do I prevent custom font in Cocos2d from appearing cut off

I am using a custom font called KomikaTitle. In some cases the font appears cut off on the left in the first character. This doesn't happen when I use a native font such as Arial.

The following is the code I am using:

scoreDisplayLabel = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:@"0" dimensions:CGSizeMake(200,30) hAlignment:UITextAlignmentLeft fontName:@"KomikaTitle" fontSize:18];
scoreDisplayLabel.color = (ccc3(r,b,g));
[self addChild:scoreDisplayLabel z:2];
[scoreDisplayLabel setPosition:ccp(115,wins.height-73)];

How do I prevent this from happening? I am attaching a screenshot of the issue.

I tried messing around as suggested in http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forums/topic/custom-font-being-cut-off/, but no luck.

Thanks guys!

This maybe isn't a real answer, but I had the same problem with that font in an old cocos2d project I made. Just just added an extra space and a row.
