Sorry it was wrong description of problem, I already forgot right one
then I wrote this. What really happened was, that more characters you
"print" with attached font in 300 DPI and 10pt size it is more and more
narrower. Don't know exactly why problem is not visible in ftview, maybe
because we don't call FT_Set_Char_Size before each FT_Load_Glyph. BTW on
299 and 301 DPI it is ok. This happend only on this font so it is
probably not that general, thats why I don't pushing it too much.

Regards,

Boris
