Pre-rasterized coordinates of what?

??? What do you mean with `custom arithmetic'? You've lost me here.
Please give a small example to demonstrate what you want to do.

But you *can* obtain the point coordinates before rounding by
selecting the proper FT_LOAD_XXX flags while calling FT_Load_Glyph!
How do you get the impression that this isn't possible?
It seems that we are completely miscommunicating.
