Hi Patrick, Yes I believe it should. If textLength is specified, then the UA will adjust the positioning to match length to the authored value (at least it's supposed to). So, this means you should probably return the value after the UA has done it's adjustments, as opposed to what the font engine returns.

For non-rendering environments, the user agent shall make reasonable assumptions about glyph metrics. >Returns >The text advance distance. > > > > >
