Does this happen with all fonts or with just a few? My guess is that it only happens with some fonts. Those fonts have very likely a Negative Right Side Bearing that is larger than the soft margin.
Especially italic sub family fonts tend to have larger N(R)SB and regular or bold fonts seems to be "fixed", but (bold)italic sub family fonts might still have the cut off issue.
I noticed that the soft margin is set to 1%. This might be too small to fix the cut off problem for all fonts.
Maybe you should try to increase the soft margin to 1.5-2%, that might solve it. This is just trial and error.

1% of the screen width (on both sides):
Touch: 1% × 600 = 6px
Glo/Aura: 1% × 758 = 8px
HD models: 1% × 1080 = 11px
IMO, a very small "safety" margin.
