Description
When drawing smaller fonts (around 12 or less), the font sometimes draws non-vertically aligned and occasionally with strange artifacts.

Research direction
Start with the linked forum post and the attached text_issue image to understand the small-font alignment and artifact symptoms. The payload names no source file, entry point, or test, so first locate the ofTTF text-rendering implementation and establish a reproduction for fonts around size 12; done means the text renders consistently without the reported artifacts.
