--- Comment #17 from Nikolaus Waxweiler <madigens(a)gmail.com> ---
Linear metrics are advance widths that are the same regardless of pixel size.
Before, hinting or just rounding of advance widths would force you to recompute
metrics for text after every size (or zoom level) change. It's a simplification
you can do when you have subpixel positioning. Isn't it done by Skia?
