OK. That patch was broken. I somewhat misunderstood...

I cannot reprodeuce them using xedit... Why? How is your
"resolution" of xdpyinfo. 100x100 dots per inch?
I attach "fontpropdump.c". Would you tell me the results of
"freetype" and "xtt"?
usage:
./fontpropdump "-monotype-courier new-medium-r-normal--12-0-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1"
Here are my results:
[X-TT]
PIXEL_SIZE : 12
POINT_SIZE : 87
RESOLUTION_X : 100
RESOLUTION_Y : 100
AVERAGE_WIDTH : 70
RAW_AVERAGE_WIDTH : 6001
FONT_ASCENT : 11
RAW_ASCENT : (none)
FONT_DESCENT : 4
RAW_DESCENT : (none)
SUBSCRIPT_SIZE : 8
SUBSCRIPT_X : 0
SUBSCRIPT_Y : 2
SUPERSCRIPT_SIZE : 8
SUPERSCRIPT_X : 0
SUPERSCRIPT_Y : 5
UNDERLINE_THICKNESS : 1
UNDERLINE_POSITION : 3
RAW_PIXEL_SIZE : (none)
RAW_POINT_SIZE : (none)
[FreeType]
PIXEL_SIZE : 12
POINT_SIZE : 87
RESOLUTION_X : 100
