font metrics Aptos 1.09, Source Sans 3 3.052 and Source Sans Pro 1.09

(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #3)

I fired up FontForge and compared metrics (both general and OS/2) for "Aptos"
1.09 regular to "Source Sans Pro" 2.010 and "Source Sans 3" 3.052 regular.

Metrics are nowhere near equivalent. Aptos is on a 2048 em base line, Source
Sans on 1000 em. They scale their outlines, so effective size is relative to
their metrics, but the ratio when scaled are not that close in vertical or
horizontal metric.

That aside, until something better to use as fall back for Aptos fontfamily the
VCL.xcu does need *some* "SubstFonts" entry made to support Aptos fallback--not
ideal but using Source Sans 3 (and Source Sans Pro) is minimally functional.
