Sounds like a new year joke to me: Aren't there good reasons for not including hmtx? How could a vertical script profit from including hmtx? If there already is a ttf outline, each glyph already comes with the precomputed bbox, so lsb=0, rsb=0 and aw=xmax-xmin is an assumption that seems to shout for support. Or do you know of fonts that already assumed lsb=-xmin and aw=xmax-xmin (another assumption that seems to be very natural at first, because it seems to make more use of bbox info, if one wasn't concerned about baseline-related stuff)?
