No, the glyphs aren't all consistently offset. Instead the first row
is correctly placed while the relative Y offsets of subsequent rows of
glyphs proceed in the wrong direction, (as if with the incorrect sign
for the Y offset).

So I feel like something related to these Y position changes must be
related. The above two changes don't seem consistent for example,
(both involve a change in the sign of glyphs[i].y but only one
involves a subtraction of surface->height).

But I'm definitely still flailing blindly here.

Quick, Adrian, come save me.
