It is a ligature. Shut off ligatures for the style and or also discretionary ligatures (technically the st lig is a discretionary ligature but I don't know how Tahoma is set up...). If you don't have a style...make one. Else highlight the affected text and turn it off--but likely one or more would be missed somewhere.

You can adjust the letter spacing in the Character panel (if this is what is causing the issue).

Looks like a ligature to me.
