Noted.

The only one I can find ATM is released by fontlab to demo fontlab 4:
http://www.123-fonts.com/downloads/Liz.otf
referenced off their home page <http://www.fontlab.com>.

[See the AVERAGE_WIDTH comments below.]

Of the fonts I have licensed, Lucida Bright Oblique is the only one I
can think of with a non [0.001 0 0 0.001 0 0] matrix, which obliques
by just changing the matrix. However, my copy is in TX and offline,
and I'm not. :(
Try each of:
:; xfd -fn '-adobe-utopia-medium-r-normal--0-240-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1'
:; xlsfonts -fn '-adobe-utopia-medium-r-normal--0-240-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1'
with the Type1 backend vs the new FreeType backend.
With the t1 backend the bounds as reported by xlsfonts are:
bounds: width left right asc desc attr keysym
min 7 -2 0 -3 -20 0x00e1
max 31 5 33 30 8 0x03b0
but with the ft2 backend they are:
bounds: width left right asc desc attr keysym
min -7 -14025 -14025 -16384 -24249 0xff1f
max 7 14025 14025 24249 16384 0x00e1
and AVERAGE_WIDTH changes from 180 to 37. Each of the characters'
metrics are also significantly different.
It was the effect of AVERAGE_WIDTH that I saw via xfd.
