Until recently, medium.com served some Utopia CFF font (I think?!)
with blue zones but without hints (result: no hinting). gov.co.uk
also serves some font without hints (can't determine what kind right
now). Google's Caladea and Carlito fonts ship(ped?) with a hinting
table stub but no hints, but that triggered the autohinter iirc.
A CFF that triggered the auto-hinter?
Caladea and Carlito come (came?) in .ttf form with, I think, stubbed out
hinting tables but no actual hints on glyphs. The default NORMAL
rendering mode then triggers the autohinter in NORMAL mode, i.e.
x-and-y-hinting.

I consider a font broken if it has a blue zone table but no hints –
shall we really take care of that? We don't do any harm; it's just
that the font stays unhinted.
Hm, well, yeah, it's okay I guess. Might be solved by teaching the Adobe
hinter to cope with blue zones alone in the distant future.
