This seems to suggest that Apple's font rendering could be a pixel or
two wider than FreeType at low res also. That seems reasonable as
widening letters at low res make it more readable, everything else
being equal.

Hm. the v40 code specifically ignores the hdmx table because it leads to wonky spacing if you ignore vertical hinting. Note that the autohinter also does not increase spacing.
