Thaddee: excellent, the screenshot shows what you're seeing clearly, and the read out appears to be hinting enabled;11 PPEM (pixels per em, the height).

I'll warn you though that it may be very hard to try and solve this. At 11 PPEM there are only 5 pixels available horizontally (2:1 ratio of height:width). That's not enough fundamental space to give both of the outer stems 2 pixels, and leave 2 pixels of space, and still fit in the middle stem.
