Hmm.  I have just tested coure.fon, and I get correct values with
ftdiff, *provided that I select the right bitmap strike size*.  For
example, do

  ftdiff -s 13 coure.fon

to see the first strike in this font (at 13ppem).  The height is just
right.

I have yet to see a real example where the FreeType code fails.

If you still have a problematic font which you can't manage to get
displayed fine with ftdiff, please send it to me privately.
