Well, that makes sense.

It just seems dumb that the resultant glyph is even more inaccurate size-wise
than just using the original unhinted metric.  But if the result would be ugly
without metric correction, then alas I guess I have to deal with it.

How do you disable metric-hinting, anyway?  I didn't even know that was
possible; I don't think I'll like it, but I am curious.

Also, one last thing...shouldn't slight-hinting give you the same width no
matter what?  I thought slight-hinting only hinted the vertical direction,
never horizontal, and wouldn't need any metric correction for width.
