I see 4 pixel margin between the last number and the vertical black line
as well, but the last digit is not completly drawn.

I'll attach 3 screenshots:
1. gnucash-sans-10.png:
- font "Sans" with size 10
- the filed iwth number "12,88" is not selected (last digit incomplete)
- balance (last digit incomplete)
- the field with number "11,88" is selected (last digit correct)

2. gnucash-sans-8.png
- smaller font, same problem

3. gnucash-sans-14.png
- bigger font, same problem
- bottom is cut off

I've attached only very small parts of the whole window so that the file
size is very small and nobody should be annoyed. The problem seems to be
in all columns with numbers (at least where the numbers are
right-adjusted) e.g. the Date.

I use the Bitstream Vera font family. Switching to Arial doesn't help.

It seems, that if I click into a field (which is editable), the text is
drawn correctly.

Yes, tha same here, but the width is wrong as well.

Thanks for this hint - it works well. ;-)
