It does. See this thread:

In ftoutln.c there is a function called FT_Outline_Embolden(). This is
used to create artificial emboldening, and is used when fontconfig
requests emboldening for fonts that don't have a bold face available.
Near the end of this function are these two lines, which actually

Another thought I had just after sending the last email... Consider any
font that has a bold face available: Arial, DejaVu, Lucida Grande,
etc.. Their bold faces do not end up being any taller than the regular,
non-bold faces. So, the fact that FT_Outline_Embolden() is making the
glyphs tal

Heh, you have your best coding ideas while half-asleep too eh...?
