Outline fix in b.lop

Made a small adjustment in the b.lop finial

[josescaglione]

ohorn and Ohorn collision with tilde.

This issue happens when generating the Vietnamese glyph ohorntilde and Ohorntilde on the fly, for slanted models. eg. IS

The issue cannot be easily solved at the moment without affecting other models. However, the issue does not affect the VN (Vietnam) model. This may be probably fixed in the futureby removing the ohorn character from CCMP code.

Connection issue Ce

This fix amends two types of problems with this connection.

The first one is between C and e.ful
This was solved by positive kerning in Models:
DE SAS - DL Loopet - DL Uloopet - ES - ZA

Second issue is connecting C.cur with e.mod
Problem required fix of Trackback code in CALT fixing anchor placement in Master 6
This affects: HR - HR Lijeva - HU - IE - IN - NO -
