>  does it cope with characters whose bounding  boxes overlap

I remember that being an issue with an older prototype of this library, 
specifically with runs of tightly grouped glyphs like `ff` and the 
GoRegular font. I haven't experienced any of the glitches from glyphs with 
overlapping bounding boxes lately (using GoRegular), which means that bug 
was fixed inadvertently or is hibernating in wait for the right font. 
Unfortunately none of the current tests use a proportional font, so its 
difficult to tell. The best answer is that it doesn't handle that case 
explicitly, the worst answer is maybe it does and I just forgot about it.
