Yes, that seems correct -- the accelerators contain the bounding box for
all of the glyphs in pixels.

Yes, you should ignore the properties and use only the information found
in the accelerator table and the other metrics. Those are computed
exactly by the font compiler and relied upon by the X server.
Certainly the face->available_sizes values should be in pixels; I suggest
using ascent + descent for both width and height; the current semantics
for FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes makes using asymetric values impractical.
