I also recall discussions which discovered that the .otb extension was
otherwise unused in most of the world. It doesn't matter at all to me; I
ask FreeType to try and open the font, completely ignoring the extension
has proven a valuable property, although it does sometimes challenge the
FreeType font file handling code with 'unusual' file data.
