psprint::CompatMetricOverride - can I kill it?

Hi

Looking at the code in

  vcl/generic/fontmanager/fontmanager.cxx

at line 2877, something like this (simplified)

  bool PrintFontManager::readOverrideMetrics()
  {
          getProcessServiceFactory()->createInstance( 
"com.sun.star.psprint.CompatMetricOverride" ),

But I do not find this service anywhere in the codebase.

It appears to have been introduced in this commit:
   commit 01cf481111436df2cc3f01d1c57cc4348fc037ef

compatibility service for metrics

But the commit did not introduce the associated service.
