This is probably caused by NSFont's renderingMode method, which is used internally by:

WKGetGlyphTransformedAdvances

Last time I looked at the AppKit source (years ago), the renderingMode returned integral widths for glyphs for screen fonts, but non-integral widths for printer fonts.  Lucida Grande was an exception and always subpixel positioned.

This was years ago though, but I suspect is the root of the problem.  We could just always subpixel position, but then we wouldn't match AppKit.
