Stacked labelling causing font anomaly
We are re-authoring our services using Pro and have come across an issue I cannot resolve.
Background
We have a map, currently sitting on a server we are migrated to our new Enterprise environment. It was orginally published using ArcMap 10.5.1 you can see the resulting map here TSB Festival of Lights . Note the label for "Japanese Hillside" next to Fountain Lake.

The Problem
The only way I can explain it is, Now that we are going to publish our new service, we are using ArcGIS Pro
However, it appears in ArcGIS Pro that using "Barlow Condensed" fonts the labels that have 'J' (or 'j' in them, create unexpected results.
They either rotate (if no stacking is applied) or if stacked, cause the J to disappear and for spaces to appear.
I can confirm that spelling the word with a different letter fixes the issue.. however I need to spell Japanese with a J!

the extent shows another nearby label in the same layer to illustrate that the Japanese Hillside layer should not be rotated .. no rotation settings are set, but my label rotates none-the-less.
Creating a map service inherits the same anomalies.
More details
I have limited it to the Letter J or j in the font Barlow Condensed. Both Stacked and Not Stacked manifest different and undesirable visual effects on the label.
The font has been reinstalled, this did not help. I understand that at face value it may appear as a font issue as other fonts are fine - however, if there is a bug that needs fixing instead I would prefer this is looked into, instead of me working around an issue that was not there in ArcMap
If someone can help, even if to install the font and see if this happens with them too, we've been using this font without trouble before Pro.
Also, I upgraded to Pro 2.6 and it still happens.
Any help appreciated.
