Edit: I did it!
My Truetype font output on LVGL[^]
I can't seem to get it to line up along the baseline using LVGL's font machinations.
Other than that, I've done all the ugly business of getting it rendering, and there was a lot to do.
But I cannot figure this out for the life of me. I'm so close, but it may as well be the moon.

It looks like it's related to the characters, and that there are two reference points.
So ... kludge it so it works, then look at the kludge factor you had to apply. What's it's actual value? Is it related to a specific pattern of the character number? Or is there something with the same kludge factor that you missed in the TT font data?
Fonts are always fun to play with, and never work like you expect in my experience! 
If that doesn't work, take the night off and look at it fresh tomorrow.

This is why I use simple bitmap fonts

That's not always practical.

It depends on the application: if your need raw speed, bitmap fonts are the way to go. If you want flexibility (in terms of size, weight, and effects) then truetype is the choice. But Bitmaps use significant space when they get to large font sizes, and really don't scale well without losing the speed advantage.
I even invented my own "compromise font" based on vertical slices compressed into "runs" of black for one device which needed the speed and a small size (Z80 processor @ 32MHz was right on the edge of what I needed, but there wasn't a faster one!) Took me about a week to get it all working fast enough, and it worked for over a decade until the company went bust in the early 00's recession.

The Land of Fonts is filled with the devil's details. However, if you keep your head and keep things organized it can be bit-map fun. Recommend you check FreeGlut

Backup the gilded paramount leader and prevaricator at the fork in the road. (9)

Auxiliary ?
This is what I have
Gilded: Au (gold)
prevaricator: liar
fork in the road: y
paramount leader could be xi

Pete,
You solved it, you are the puzzle Setter for Monday.
Backup the gilded paramount leader and prevaricator at the fork in the road.
Backup = definition
the gilded = Au
paramount leader = xi
and prevaricator = liar
at the fork in the road = y Auxiliary
AU
paramount leader
prevaricator
at the fork in the road

Daniel Avery - Water Jump[^]
Never heard of Daniel Avery until last week.
I think I heard him in a Spotify radio shuffle, but I'm not even sure.
Anyway, I heard a track and immediately went to look for more.
He's from England and he makes electronic music with techno, house and IDM influences.
Not much more to say, except sound of the week!

David O'Neil wrote: Some other fun stuff I hadn't heard before
 This is a legendary track in the trance community (it is as if you had said you never heard Billie Jean from Michael Jackson, but I reckon the trance community is more confidential), as much as Tiesto's Adagio for strings. Attended Van Buuren live in several ASOT events, it is ... fabulous.
David O'Neil wrote: Part One - Paul Kalkbrenner
... Kalkbrenner (Paul for sure but also his brother Fritz) is also a huge hitmaker - but he is an insane live performer as well.

So far my all-time favorite track in this genre is Eric Prydz - Opus. I have probably heard of most others, but if you have any more recommendations, let me know - I'll take a chance of having already heard them! (I had heard Adagio before, and wouldn't say it is the best I've listened to. More of an 'OK' from me.)
Go with the flow: orbital - one perfect sunrise

Those are some diverse recommendations 
All great though, love the Paul Kalkbrenner especially!

Great ...
This Dave Clarke show went live yesterday around midnight, and I was one of a few live listeners (but I must admit, I was working  ...)
Dave Clarke's Whitenoise 871 - YouTube
The "posttechno" tag seems appriopriate ...
Another track from him was on SOTW some time ago, but this is the latest one

I think you (or someone else) shared this before.
Good stuff though!
[Edit]
Ok, I didn't read your message at all
You did post Dave Clark's Whitenoise before, but not this particular one as it's brand new.
Got it

Yes ... I am trying to keep up with his new tracks, and in most cases it's quite amazing...
