integer_ppem_if_hinted

PPEM must be an integer on hinted fonts.

integer_ppem_if_hinted

• Applies to: TTF
• Fontspector can hotfix?: no
• Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

Hinted fonts must have head table flag bit 3 set.

Per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/head, bit 3 of Head::flags decides whether PPEM should be rounded. This bit should always be set for hinted fonts.

Note: Bit 3 = Force ppem to integer values for all internal scaler math; May use fractional ppem sizes if this bit is clear;
