I think this is not correct.  If you say

  ftview -r 96 10 verdana.ttf

with the current CVS (having activated the bytocode interpreter), and
you switch off anti-aliasing, you get exactly what he is reporting.

I suspect a problem with verdana.ttf relying on the `buggy' Windows
TrueType engine which does strange rounding.
