Can somebody suggest what I might be doing wrong to cause the
cumulative
text extent to not scale linearly with font size * DPI?

Font Dpi Total Advance
16 75 8621
32 75 16985
16 150 16985
32 150 34995

I would give it another try using DPIs that M$ expects most desktops to be
using, all multiples of 12. So, use e.g. 72, 96, 120, 144, 192, 288 and see
if you like the results better. Key on 96 as your baseline, since that's what
most Windows and Mac desktops use, many Linux environments force, and
clueless web designers presume whether they know it or not. 96 is even in the
CSS specs. e.g. for the definition of the reference pixel:
