Rasterization: Enclosing rectangle does not account for hinting

[thehorseisbrown]

Describe the bug
Blackbox values in GLYPHMETRICS don't seem to account for hinting.
The appended image should be illustrative.
I also posted this at stackoverflow.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Look at individual glyph bitmaps drawn with DrawText() using the font Consolas.ttf
2. Look at GLYPHMETRICS data loaded with GetGlyphOutlineA.
3. See that the black box values designate a smaller rectangle than the drawn glyph's rectangle.

Expected behavior
The black box values are explicitly said to enclose the glyph.

Additional context
Hinting is pain.
