Great time for asking then: are subglyph positions rounded as part
of the hinting process?
It depends on a flag in the glyph's data, ROUND_XY_TO_GRID, if the
subglyph's offset is given as xy values. However, for the particular
DejaVu glyph, the subglyphs all have a zero offset, but point

Not my problem :-) According to the font's gasp table, hinting should
be switched off below 9pt.

Yes, I know. I can only repeat: The bytecode goes havoc because it
doesn't work at this size. This
What's wrong with that?
Stick it on a canvas, call it modern art and you'll make a fortune.

It depends on a flag in the glyph's data, ROUND_XY_TO_GRID, if the

particular DejaVu glyph, the subglyphs all have a zero offset, but
point coordinates are rounded to integers anyways as part of the
normal rasterization process.
See Spooky G, attached :).
This *is* nice!

I render the pdf text use freetype, but it is different with adobe

The font in question must be rendered with TrueType hinting, otherwise
it produces the bad results you get. For example, ghostscript 9.05 is
doing this. Simply try to
