Related notes:
The reference fonts are only used for their metrics, i.e. an implementation is only required to use metrically-equivalent fonts.
In any event, what would be a link to open source fonts with equivalent metrics?
(1) the metrics of these fonts are not published in an open forum (AFAIK);
(2) therefore, the second question is moot;
Would https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts work?
