IMHO it should be centered around center of path...
I agree.
so to acomplish your problem use:
get path from FT.
now switch to libart :-)
stroke the path
calcutate intersection of these two paths and result is what you want ...
That's EXACTLY what I did (well, minus the last step) at one
point in a project I was working on. It seems to work fine and the
look is acceptable for the VERY few documents that I've found that
actually use outlined/stroked text.
