#      8 => do not include TT instructions (for experimental typefaces)
#   0x20 => generate a 'PfEd' table and store glyph comments
#   0x40 => generate a 'PfEd' table and store glyph colors
#   0x800 => generate old fashioned kern tables.
#           - this one is important because it generates correct kerning tables
