I'm not sure, but currently, y-axis metrics are not the problem.

Perhaps. I tested it on Windows 7, and the tested version
of Emacs was 24.0.?, not the latest one. I'm now
downloading the latest Windows binary of Emacs.

I don't think so. As far as I remember, the C entries in a
glyphs string is not used after being shaped.

I have no idea about that.

Why? As the xadvance of the first glyph is 8, and
the xoffset of the second glyph is 1, the second glyph is
never drawn at the same column as the first glyph.

Is that Windows specific?
