Attached a subsetted TrueType font which has for its 'B' glyph a significantly different outline than what Acrobat or Windows shows. The vertical stem of the 'B' glyph has a significant width reduction the upper part and width increase in the lower part.

I've attached a screenshot of the FreeType outline (the current trunk version has the same issue). Also a screenshot of what Acrobat shows when the subsetted font is used in a PDF file. You can clearly see the difference.

Any idea what's going on ?
