But that implies that it may treat an EOT font as if it were EOTL, if 
TTEMBED_TTCOMPRESSED and TTEMBED_XORENCRYPTDATA flags check out, and 
that seems to me problematic if it means that a non-nil rootstring with 
meaningful content relative to that EOT font -- and perhaps to the 
license for that EOT font -- is ignored. The whole point of the EOTL 
format is to make a new format that is not burdened by rootstrings, not 
to treat all existing old-format EOT fonts with rootstrings as if they 
were EOTL.
