It definitely does, Thanks. I wasn't aware of FT_LOAD_LINEAR_DESIGN.

But the documentation is still misleading; if FT_LOAD_LINEAR_DESIGN is 
not used, linearHoriAdvance is not accurate to 1/65536th of a pixel. 
What are your thoughts on Werner's and my ideas about changing the 
calculation of x_scale and linearHoriAdvance to fix this?
