The
font for this test case
has a single glyph (‘H’) which displays examples of a boundary IUP
issue which was treated differently in existing implementations. The
top of the top serifs and bottom of the bottom serifs all have
multiple points at the same Y location in the default. If you examine
the bottom left serif, you will see points 149 through 157 all share
the same Y coordinate of 0. When moving from the default 0.0 to –1.0
in the Hooves axis, point 153 moves by (0,50). This now leaves
6 untouched points that need to be interpolated. The handling of these
intermediate points (150–152 and 154–156) was different between
Apple’s, FreeType’s and Monotype’s implementations.
