I feel that's a very wrong approach, somehow on par, BTW, with "snubbing" the
word 2003 import/export issues.
Let's not have an argument, just one thought, though: so those fonts can't "do"
those fancy things. They still have the glyphs for which they were bought,
however. Or do they?

Or open/export in FontForge. That's not the point. That sort of pruning of
"obsolete"/"unneeded" features (while bloating the deliverables simultaneously,
somehow) does the product no good.
In other words, alternative product (LO vs Word) can have "can't's".
