As far as I remember. Freetype used to increase the advance by 2x the
emboldening strength, which was too much. Now it is 1x, which is by
how much the width of 'I' would increase.
Like I said it is not like we mess up original advance. When people
rely on Freetype to hint/embolden/slant glyphs, they should expect
that we might improve things. Again, unmodified advance is there and
Freetype is not a text layout engine.
