'ClearType compatible advance width'[1] is introduced by Microsoft to ensure
that it is compatible with previous GRAY and B/W antialias metric. This can
be specified as CLEARTYPE_QUALITY. Unfortunately, Freetype does not have
'ClearType compatible advance widths'[2].

So, we need to use FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO to get the right advance value.
Please note that this flag is a hinting flag, not a rendering flag.

FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD can be used for CLEARTYPE_NATURAL_QUALITY [3].

[2]
Freetype interpreter V38(A.K.A. Infinality patch) is trying to implement it,
but there are many bugs and no further improvements. This is not included in
the default build option, and is documented as being deprecated in the future.

[3]
With CLEARTYPE_NATURAL_QUALITY(ClearType natural advance widths), some legacy
fonts are not ( integer ) linear with the advance width.
To avoid the subpixel color blending problem between the small side-bearing
characters, Microsoft seems to have modified the right-side-bearing.
Also, there are issues that pointed out in [1].

This may be a text layout issue, but FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD is still valid.
To solve this, Wine need an additional advance correction patch, but it's
not yet an interesting issue compared to other issues.
