I can comment out the kerning code and get exactly the same output. The 
kerning.x value is always zero.

e.g. just:
CurX += Fnt->glyph->metrics.horiAdvance;

I'm not using any 16.16 fixed point anywhere...

Unless some of the values Freetype has in it's structures are in 16.16 fixed 
point without me realizing?

FYI Font->GetHeight() returns this:

        int PtSize = PointSize(); // my font's point size...
        int PxSize = (int) (PtSize * Dpi / 72.0); // Convert to pixels
        FT_Set_Char_Size(..., PtSize*64, ...); // Set the font size...
        return (int) (ceil((double)d->hFont->height * PxSize / 
d->hFont->units_per_EM) + 0.0001);

I dunno... that's not 16.16 either... but it's here for completeness.
