	TFheight = font->max_bounds.ascent + font->max_bounds.descent;
	TFwidth = font->max_bounds.rbearing - font->min_bounds.lbearing;

Perhaps the problem is that font->max_bounds.width can be greater than TFwidth
as you calculate it?  Try using max of these two values.  Otherwise, a more
explicit example of the problem, the actual fonts involved and the values
computed, would be helpful.
