Ar, that seems to do the trick to make things match (matches Notepad under
Windows too).

Though, probably, the glyph methods should have different names now, or take
the unitsPerEm as an
extra paramter!

I think that the scaling for TTCFont glyphs is incorrectly calculated. (the
unitsPerEm is ignored; instead, the ascender and descender are used to
calculate the scaling factor).

I've attached a modified method which brings the size of TTCFont glyphs into
line with the FreeType glyphs. I haven't given it much testing though.
