From the look of it, I think there is floating-point rounding involved.
After all, the graphics system is treating it as a scalable font so
the notion of bitmap (or pixel-based) font design doesn't apply.

Thank you!

Now I only need to understand why y = -2.66400003 instead of
-2.66666651

The bounding box is for Capital Letter A with grave accent. As you
can see, it's too close and sticking out a little.
