The FT text renderer, accessed through the text method of an ImageDraw object does not seem to understand left bearing and right bearing on glyphs. As a result it wraps the overhanging part of the glyph, if this would leave the simplistic (bearing-free) bounding box, round to the far side of the bounding box. The effect can be seen most clearly when doing character at a time rendering, as the bounding box is then small. It is most likely to be seen on characters like "j" or "f", especially in oblique or swash fonts.
