Misaligned Line Numbers with display-line-numbers-mode

I just migrated from Linux to Mac. I'm using the setting `display-
line-numbers-type 'visual`. On Linux, my line numbers were aligned
fine, but on Mac they are misaligned as seen in this picture (using
the same config):

Note, the `display-line-numbers-width` setting doesn't fix this,
increasing it just shifts the misalignment to the right.

The only other relevant configuration I'm using is `global-display-
line-numbers-mode`.

try

```
(setq-default display-line-numbers-width-start t
              display-line-numbers-width 1
              display-line-numbers-grow-only t)
(global-display-line-numbers-mode +1)
```

I had this issue when using a variable-pitch font. Changing the
following faces
to `fixed-pitch` helped:

- `line-number`
- `line-number-major-tick`
- `line-number-minor-tick`
- `line-number-current-line`

None of these worked for me

This didn't work using the code:

```
(set-face-attribute 'line-number 'fixed-pitch)
(set-face-attribute 'line-number-major-tick 'fixed-pitch)
(set-face-attribute 'line-number-minor-tick 'fixed-pitch)
(set-face-attribute 'line-number-current-line 'fixed-pitch)
```

I tried it with a monospace font which did fix the alignment, so I'm
guessing my code is setting these variables to fixed-pitch wrong with
my variable-pitch font.

Thanks for identifying the issue though
