I usually try to inspect with printfs(), but I tried to poke around with 
your system. It is hard because the loop is so big and has many breaks 
and continues and macros... While doing that I wanted to print out 
certain values (ascenders, etc...). I couldn't print them
I did thus recompile GSHorizontalTypeSetter (and only that) with debug=yes
And voilà! it works!! this is bad. Either we trigger a compile bug or, 
in my experience more probable, we have a bad condition somewhere, some 
float comparison something weak or even a 1-off byte access.
