It's that simple and definitely not difficult. If we implemented a suckless renderer we could then also just discard embedded SVG naturally. I'm not a OTF/TTF expert, but I think it even allows font files to contain "native" fallbacks for provided embedded SVG. The vast majority of fonts uses the "native" OTF/TTF format anyway and will in the future, because anything else would be a waste of resources both on the font-developer-side and the rendering-part.
