No problem for me, I just show the UI using diff value and all tell me
that 0.5 look better,
but yeah, better set the default value to 0.0 and let the user play with it.

Also need a little more of tweak, because now that I used float for
the position of every glyph,
I think need apply the raster_safe hack too.

Anyway I am not in my home now, so tomorrow I go to revert to 0.0 and
see if I can make this a little better.
