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.
I repectfully disagree with Werner's statement about these broken fonts. Blue
zones are simply a declaration of font properties that the designer specifies.
It is up to the hint interpreter to decide how to use that data. For example,
there is a heuristic in the Adobe CFF interpreter that synthesizes charstring
hints from blue zone data.
