Hi,

I tried fonttosfnt some weeeks ago and found that it uses
FT_Bitmap_Size->{height,width} for ppemY and ppemX. Shouldn't it be
ppemX = ppemY = FT_Bitmap_Size->y_ppem?
The reason that ppemX should be equal to ppemY is that an em-sqaure with
unequal ppems means x and y axes are scaled differently so that the
glyphs would look stretched.
