My proposal is to separate glyph scaling from metrics scaling. The glyph image would be subject to a full transformation matrix. The metrics would be subject to x and y scale factors.<BR>

It seems to me that for most ideographic (and other primarily<BR>
monospaced) usage, you don't want to scale metrics, and that for<BR>
proportional usage, you mostly do. Either there ought to be some kind<BR>
of flag to indicate whether metrics should be scaled or not, or some<BR>
sort of separate option for metrics scaling.<BR>
