Thanks Thomas. If we enable this bit, we'll need to ensure that the Typo metrics are the same as the old Win metrics. Failing to do this will cause vertical metric regressions. I'll revisit these fonts next quarter and also ensure they get decent STAT tables.

Unfortunately for Roboto, I cannot enable bit 7 without causing regressions. For this reason, I'm going to skip it.

That FB test also needs further work :-)

I also wonder if some typographic engines will not have a different behavior for VFs without fsSelection bit 7: some will respect fsSelection, and others not, considering that for a VF fsSelection bit 7 must be activated anyway, which cause discrepancies?
