Yes!  I told you in a previous mail that the unhinted coordinate of
the leftmost pixel is NEGATIVE!  FreeType always rounds to the
extreme, thus you get -1 and not 0.

You mean glyph dimensions (the BBox), right?  Glyph metrics is the
advance width, for example, and this is independent from the outline.

Again: The only way to get an exact BBox for a given DPI is to render
the glyph!
