long story short, in the loader we get these values: fixme:font:get_outline_text_metrics L"Goha-Tibeb Zemen" sCapHeight=-32768 fixme:font:get_outline_text_metrics L"Goha-Tibeb Zemen" sxHeight=-32768
What version of FreeType do you have (`freetype-config --version`)? I just noticed that on Arch (FreeType 21.0.15), sCapHeight and sxHeight are both 0 for this font. So, either I'm testing it wrong or new versions of FreeType are changing -32768 to 0.
