Do you compile for swf8 ?
Could be the issue as the new tags for fonts are not yet included in  
swfmill.

Beware anyway that font are converted to vector in the swf.
Be sure that the glyphs don't use big space around them.

Give a look at it with fontforge (excellent software)
You'll get probably a clue.

So not sure it's a metric problem.
I use font embedding with swf8 and don't (i think) get any position  
shift.

Best luck.
