If you think fonts have bugs, please report them to their creator (it can
actually happen, but it's rare, and if the tricks around the nameID 1 & 2 that
were used 15 years ago to get around the problems beyond RIBBI are no longer
those in favor today, it doesn't matter, as long as the nameID 4, 6, 16 and 17,
possibly 21 and 22, are correct).

Most of the time, proprietary licenses for fonts doesn't allow modification
(and never, ever, distribution of modified fonts). So you've to deal with the
fonts in the state they're in.
