Rusty,
There is a difference between the 117.jpg and 112.jpg screens! If a user is

I looked at your images together with our font expert, and we
don't see a big difference between the 1.1.7 & 1.2.2 cases.

If you turn on anti-aliasing, make sure you turn the fractional metrics
rendering hint on too. When using integer metrics as you are apparently doing,
you can get a cumulative rounding-up effect on glyph placement.
In specific cases such as rotated text and anti-aliased text, we think
this hint should perhaps be turned on automatically.
We may do that in a later release if this thinking holds up.
-Phil.
