Confirm v metrics info is consistent

See original GitHub issue

Observed behaviour

There are 4 places that GF currently has information about vertical metrics:

  1. https://github.com/googlefonts/gf-docs/tree/master/VerticalMetrics documentation
  2. FontBakery GF Profile VM check(s)
  3. https://github.com/googlefonts/gf-glyphs-scripts “Official” Google Fonts QA/Production scripts for Glyphs 1.mf-glyphs-scripts Marc Foley’s personal scripts for Glyphs. The QA > Check Font script can be useful

Over time these have drifted apart.

Expected behaviour

These must all be consistent.

SGTM. I may need your help on this as well since there’s quite a lot to do. Fancy a hangout next week? We need to run some tests before we can really do anything meaningful.

Since we are talking about updating the script, I would like to mentioned that right now caps are not centered with actual vertical metrics. Maybe you already discussed this, but it could be handy to have (-)TypoDescender = TypoAscender-CapsHeight.
