I disagree. The flag is still needed if you use the ahem font. The flag is there to tell you that you need to install the font before the test is run. If you don't have the ahem font installed then you will most likely get really strange results. I think it's a fine line when to use or not to use the flag. I feel it would be best if the ahem font is used at all, to also flag the test with the 'ahem' flag.
