Sorry, I thought they are calculated (5005.BDF_Spec.pdf doesn't mention
them).  Still, then we should set y_scale to
8 / (face->ascender + face->descender) in, for example, Set_Pixel_Sizes
in ttdriver.c, shouldn't we?

I found docs/CHANGES mentions this change and it says FT_Set_Pixel_Size
is used to select actual font dimensions (the `strike'), not the nominal
size.  Maybe my question is what "actual font dimensions" mean?
