OK.

Did a build from git this morning [5f2a72cb] ( I hope I did it right; 
not used to autotools black art) and I still observe the "new" values 
for ascender and descender.

In addition I see that if I remove enforcing truetype 
interpreter-version 35 I get better glyph shapes again, but the spacing 
between glyphs is still broken (too close, see image below) compared to 
v35.

Thanks for your support

Chris
