Yes, there is a chance of overflow and precision loss.

I don't see how this is an either/or situation. How did converting
doubles to fixed-point and using assembly optimizations become your
two options for text rendering improvement?

I assume that your profiles show that floating-point emulation is the
bottleneck? Can you share with us your data?
