Which in at least on implementation I use, it does. And it's a useful feature at times - e.g. if you use it with the stroked (not filled) version of Courier, the result can be very acceptable. Maybe access to the font transformation matrix should be added at the same time this is clarified? Or maybe it's not worth-while, given that you can open the font in a font editor and adjust it.
