  * The `PangoGlyphGeometry` structure contains width and positioning
  * information for a single glyph.
+ *
+ * Note that @width is not guaranteed to be the same as the glyph
+ * extents. Kerning and other positioning applied during shaping will
+ * affect both the @width and the @x_offset for the glyphs in the
+ * glyph string that results from shaping.
+ *
+ * The information in this struct is intended for rendering the glyphs,
+ * as follows:
+ *
+ * 1. Render the current glyph at (x + x_offset, y + y_offset),
+ *    where (x, y) is the current point
+ * 2. Advance the current point to (x + xoffset, y)
+ * 3. Render the next glyph...
