There is nothing wrong with guessing. In fact, for a mature
OS designed for the mass, fault-tolerance and legitimate
guess/default values are almost required. A robust system
should also function reasonably even under unexpected
situations (and I believe it is fair to inspect the font
rendering pipelines under these more stringent requirements
given the profound impact).
All I was trying to say was that the current guess is a bad one.
If it can be improved, it can save many people's time and
frustration. Tell what's the downside for correcting this?

There is going to be no criminals if we are all law-abiding
citizens, but unfortunately, that's not our world.
