These are two separate issues. There is the hinting problem, and the way
the zoom works. The reference 1440 font is, I think, the right solution
to avoid the hinting problems. That it fixes the zoom problem is most
likely a fortunate side-effect due to the fact that the larger metric is
less affected by rounding errors; I was just wondering if there might be
some way to use the reference font without having to keep two glyph
strings around, but probably not.
