Read the OpenType specification.

Well, if you set the no-hint flag, no hinting gets applied.  However,
you have to understand the concept of hinting first...

Yes.  The unhinted coordinate of the leftmost point in font units is
(-3,0); this inevitably causes xmin of the CBox to be a negative
value, regardless of the used resolution.
