Hi Thomas,
Good font rendering engines push the glyph geometry around so that the vertical and horizontal stems are centered on pixels. So as the mapping between the floating point coordinate system to physical pixels changes the exact size and placement of the text also shifts. If you smoothly scale text in ASVG you will notice that it 'jitters' because of this effect.
Thank you for the detailed explanation (as always).
Text is an amazingly complex area, we work with it so much, and it is so important a lot of complex behaviors are just assumed.
It's a world of its own. Expect more questions coming on that topic ;o)
