First we need to fix it for CFF first, where the problem was reported. We'l deal with other formats later based on this example.

The docs say that the bearings are defined by CBox (http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/glyphs/glyphs-3.html) and this is what the code in cffgload.c does for horizontal layout. I do not understand why it gets crafty for vertBeraingX and forgets about vertBearingY altogether. I would just set it to CBox values according to the definition, but I sense a trap because the pictures in the doc show that the origin is different for different layouts. Does CBox depend on the layout as well? It looks like it should. Thoughts?
