The first is pretty typical for Metafont/Metapost fonts, affecting
cusps.  The latter looks like there might be a logic error in the
programming for a variable called "monotonic".  Fixing those kinds of
bugs would improve confidence in the font creation instructions, but the
real test is whether people complain about the look of the resulting
character.
