No problem!

Ah, sorry - I meant to include that. I tried with 2.2.1. I then gave  
2.3.2 a shot. Still seems wrong (unless I am misunderstanding  
BearingX, which is always possible).

Don't think so - these are internal corporate fonts.

OK, I have made a new font with just 2 glyphs (the ones I have seen  
that have a problem). Specifically, the vertical forms of comma and  
period. So as not to clutter the list I will forward that in a  
private email. If you want to give me hint as to where the BearingX  
is calculated, I wouldn't mind doing a bit of the work tracking this  
down. I tried stepping through, but it's not exactly a small code  
base :) The odd thing is, the bitmap coordinates seem to be correct.  
That is, when I render glyph and look at bitmap_left, it seems to be  
correct.
