This check heuristically looks for on-curve points which are close to, but do not sit on, significant boundary coordinates. For example, a point which has a Y-coordinate of 1 or -1 might be a misplaced baseline point. As well as the baseline, here we also check for points near the x-height (but only for lowercase Latin letters), cap-height, ascender and descender Y coordinates.
Not all such misaligned curve points are a mistake, and sometimes the design may call for points in locations near the boundaries. As this check is liable to generate significant numbers of false positives, it will pass if there are more than 100 reported misalignments.
