Indeed -- I have myself been `nomail'ed for a week or so.

I don't think that the transformation matrix is the problem.  Have you
checked whether you can see clipped glyphs while using the `ftstring'
demo program?  The most common reason of your problem is that the data
is drawn glyph by glyph (this is, draw a glyph, advance the pointer,
then draw the next glyph, etc.) into a buffer directly, without
`OR'ing the values.  Currently I'm offline while writing this so I
can't check your previous mails in the archive whether you've
mentioned this situation already.
