  I am indeed calling FT_Glyph_Get_CBox.  Like this:

        memset(&cbox, 0, sizeof(cbox));
        FT_Glyph_Get_CBox(glyph, ft_glyph_bbox_subpixels, &cbox);
        tl->cbox.xMin = MIN(tl->cbox.xMin, cbox.xMin);
        tl->cbox.yMin = MIN(tl->cbox.yMin, cbox.yMin);
        tl->cbox.xMax = MAX(tl->cbox.xMax, cbox.xMax);
        tl->cbox.yMax = MAX(tl->cbox.yMax, cbox.yMax);

This code is part of the text line layout loop.  It computes the union
of bounding boxes of all glyphs.  So, that's not it :-|
