Perhaps this:

Not a chance. Things change and improve. Freezing is akin using an old
version. Plus Freetype is a low level library. The unmodified advance
is available to you before you embolden or slant glyphs. You can
modify advance to your own liking and never depend on Freetype to
layout your text.
