This is far too generic. Adobe might
. do font subsetting
. use a different default width on which all other metric values
are based
. use fix metrics from TrueType to generic PostScript units
. use a scaling matrix for whatever reasons
etc., etc.
Please remember that FreeType is *not* a library to manipulate fonts.
Its primary usage is to *render* fonts.
