I am no glyph expert  - so I guess you should ask a font expert.

See - I don't worry and I don't care if the font does not carry my name - I 
don't want a font to carry my name for minute things like em size and stuff 
like that. *However* I do mind when Akaash is used as a reference material 
for fonts which do not follow a clear licensing policy, and fonts which do 
not provide the source.
Please tell the developers to provide the VOLT vtp files along with the font, 
and if they have used PFaedit - the sfd file.

Hope that clear things up.
