The idea of FREETYPE_PROPERTIES is that you should choose on an application-by-application basis. And maybe also that using Microsoft's Tahoma instead of wine's is a bad idea?
You are basically advocating switching the interpreter version based on font vintage/age , using a heuristics on the presence/absence of a table to tell you how old a font is. I think that is bad. Fix the font, or using a better way of telling the age of a font :-).
