While it may have worked for some of your fonts, that is in no way what it
is intended for or what it guaranteed to work in any way.  There is a length
to explain reason for it going into the boring details of the TrueType font
file format itself, but it is neither useful for users nor even for
programmers who don't have the TrueType font file format specification read
and observed how it is actually implemented.
