Did President John Tyler Get Shortchanged?!

I understand the lettering on the Presidential $1 coin for William Henry Harrison had to be reduced in size to fit on the coin, but WHY did John Tyler's coin/name get "shortchanged" to the same smaller font size as Harrison's vs return to the same size as all preceding Presidents? I know the bottom of the obverse added "In God We Trust", but that's in much smaller font & should not impact the size of the name.

Was this a "mistake" that will be "corrected" with the next President, or is this the size to be going forward?

    Maybe it's because William Henry Harrison was President for such a short time? As to the reduced in size, the guy was only 5'3" or so tall.
