Yes. This is really important. In subpixel positioning you have to
shift glyph to take into account previous fractional advance. If you
follow that by hinting, the result is not deterministic. The bounding
box may differ by 1 pixel. Warping is more stable basically because
its shift will undo some of the original shift.
