[Freetype] metric differences Freetype vs. Truetype

[Bob Ostermann]

Sorry if this is FAQ:


I just upgraded from FreeType 1.0 to 2.0 in conjunction with Tome Boutells 
gd lib. I'm seeing differences between the character spacing for numerals 
in the Arial font.

Using either Font Creator or FontLab 4.5 numerals '0'-'9' all have an 
advance width of 1139.

I've written a small C program that accesses the library functions as 
documented in Tutorial Step 2 and am seeing varying advance widths for this 
range of characters. This did not appear to be the case in freetype 1.

is this a known issue? has anyone else seen this?

bob.
