negative.
For this glyph, yes.
In your previous reply you said, the only way to get the exact
metrics is to render _all_ glyphs.
Sorry for being ambiguous. It either means:

Hi Werner,
i tried like below:
error = FT_Load_Glyph( face, glyph_index, FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING);
Family name of the font is --- Arial
Style name of the font is --- Regular
bbox = [-1 0 9 9]
*Xmin is still negative.
*
Can you please provide me syntax if i am doing wrong in setting the
flags.How can
error = FT_Load_Glyph( face, glyph_index, FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING);
Family name of the font is --- Arial
Style name of the font is --- Regular
bbox = [-1 0 9 9]
*Xmin is still negative.
Yes! I told you in a previous mail that the unhinted coordinate of
the leftmost pixel is NEGATIVE!
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks Werner.Hats-off for remembering!!
Where can find about definition of hinted fonts?What it means?
How does it vary in freetype for HINT and NO_HINT?
Also,When i was looking for hinted in FT_Load_Glyph i found , For *no_hinting
*we can use FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE flag
I tried using something

Read the OpenType specification.

Well, if you set the no-hint flag, no hinting gets applied. However,
you have to understand the concept of hinting first...
I tried using
*error = FT_Set_Char_Size( face,10*64,0,72,0 );
/*The pen position in 26.6 cartesian space coordinates; */
pen.x = 0;
pen.y = 0;
FT_Set_Transform(face,0,pen);
glyph_index = FT_Get_Char_Index( face,text[n] );
//printf( Glyph_Index = %.2x\n,glyph_index);
error = FT_Load_Glyph(
Thank You Werner.
I tried as you said CBox to get the actual dimensions of the Glyph.
FT_Glyph_Get_CBox(glyph, *FT_GLYPH_BBOX_PIXELS*, bbox);
fprintf( stderr, bbox = [%ld %ld %ld %ld]\n,
bbox.xMin, bbox.yMin, bbox.xMax, bbox.yMax );
I got the follwoing for Glyph g and Glyph
I am setting my glyph size as 10,on 72dpi.
I assumed i will be getting a glyph height of 10 pixels, But it is
not?
Correct. If you specify a glyph size of 10 pixels you can expect that
it (more or less) harmonizes with other fonts rendered at a size of
10 pixels. It is completely
