Correct.

Basically, it doesn't make a difference.  Either all three variables
`minimum`, `def, and `maximum` are in 16.16 format, or all of them are
integers.  It's just a matter how to report them to the user.

If macro `FT_IS_SFNT` returns false, you have an Adobe MM font.

The division by 65536 looks right.

AFAIK, no.
