I'm saying that we should exclude anyone; but if you look at the font
in detail there's significant changes:

* Many of the strokes have been tapered; take a look at b for example
* the t ascender was shortened
* the s and k shapes were significantly tweaked
* the font seems to render bigger in Inkscape than what's in hardy.
* 0 and O are indistinguishable

I'm not saying that we should necessarily override these, but we
should at least understand them, accept that which is good and improve
that which can be improved.
