Rendering default for metrics check #26

I just used the default (gray), but perhaps mono (b/w) better matches microsoft's behavior. Investigate.

To do so, in https://github.com/HinTak/Font-Validator/blob/master/Compat/Compat.cs , in public DevMetricsData CalcDevMetrics() (line 253), change _face.LoadGlyph to use something similar to the B/W part of the hinting test (line 111,112)

lf = LoadFlags.Default|LoadFlags.NoAutohint|LoadFlags.Monochrome|LoadFlags.ComputeMetrics;
lt = LoadTarget.Mono;

The benefit of hind-sight - the latter code was written about a year later.
