Subject: How does Emacs render glyphs?

Hi,
I've been fiddling with Pango text rendering and noticed that the output
looks kind of weird. Using the same font and size, glyphs rendered via
Pango appear to be one pixel shorter and slightly narrower than in Emacs:

Since I very much prefer the way Emacs renders text, I'd like to replicate
this behavior. Do I assume correctly that Emacs uses Pango internally?
Are there specific parameters I need to pass to Pango in order to achieve
this result?
Roland
