*Blush* Oh!  Sounds like a bug.  Please send me a sample font.

It's not completely clear to me what you *exactly* want.  Can you give
more details?

An please have a look at function `FT_Match_Size' in `ftobjs.c'.  Does
this (or some similar code) fits your needs?  It should be
straightforward to add it to the public API.
