With FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE, you'll get the outlines expressed in "EM units", so
they'll be consistent between glyphs of the same faces.

However, they will not between distinct faces since this is a font designer
choice.

May I suggest you to read the "FreeType Glyph Conventions" document, it
should explain all of this pretty well..

Right, if you don't want to use FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE. Be aware that
the outline coordinates will be in 1/64th of device pixels by
the way.

Again, peeking at the documentation should give you more answers.
