But that doesn't have per-character metrics such as the width of a character.

Hi,
In struct FT_FaceRec, does the comment only apply to bbox, or to all the other
members following too?

/*# the following are only relevant to scalable outlines */
    FT_BBox           bbox;

    FT_UShort         units_per_EM;
    FT_Short          ascender;
    FT_Short          descender;
    FT_Short          height;

    FT_Short          max_advance_width;
    FT_Short          max_advance_height;

    FT_Short          underline_position;
    FT_Short          underline_thickness;

    FT_GlyphSlot      glyph;
    FT_Size           size;
    FT_CharMap        charmap;
