What do you mean with `move'?  Shifting a character by a non-integer
pixel amount after it has been rendered, or in your case, if the
outline table has been constructed for a hinted glyph at a certain
position?  This usually is a very bad idea.

Ok, so bad moving => bad rendering ! 
For example : I'm hinting a font for a size of 14. If I'm moving it with an integer number of pixels, it will be good but if I'm zooming out/zooming in,  problems will happen ?
I think I have got a problem with the size of my characters because a glyph with a size of 28 is small, I think I must have the same height that I have in Word right ?
