Then they have to be there in the CFF separately. The H/D can be
different from the outlines, eg. due to overshoot.

in my TFM reader it says,
/* The maximum number of global font parameters we allow. */
#define TFM_MAX_FONTDIMENS 30
I guess they're font parameter words.

Hmm. Good point. TeX reads checksums when it writes DVI files. I
suppose that they're moot as long as TeX itself doesn't read Sfnts
