Font troubles

I'm nearly positive this is the right place for this, but I made a nifty new font in SCI Studio.

And after a night of aggravation, I finally got it imported into AGS.

Then I loaded up Radiant's font edit do to the awesome auto outline bit.

This also imported just fine!

Then I test it out, only to find the outline was displaced in relation to the real font!

So, did I make a mistake in Radiant's deal, did I make a n00b design mistake in SCI Studio or am I just doomed to fix this displacement via a method of guess and check?

Should I just go with Auto-outline? The manual says it slows the game down. Does it do so substantially?

EDIT: Changed a word in the last question.

Did you try?

I did indeed try, and I didn't notice any change at all (speedwise, I mean), but my computer is probably not a good tool to measure it by--the very latest Alienware Area51 laptop. I mean, I was using a TrueType and I didn't notice a change.
So I was wondering what affect this might have on other computers.

EDIT: Never you mind what this said.

EDIT2: I'm done with the joke insults, I feel too bad about it...
I'm also worried people will start to hate me like they do Yahtzee if I call their computers 'plebeian.'
