To speed up the rendering ftgrays flattens the curves, i.e. it renders them
as short straight segments. This explains your observation. Note that the
statement still true for straight segments.

If you are so obsessed about this you can increase the denominator on
the lines 817, 919, and 1066 to, say, 32  and lessen the discrepancy.
