		<flag name="truetype-debugger">Enable truetype debugger in
			fontforge</flag>
		<flag name="type3">Build in support for type3/svg fonts containing
			multilayered drawing with strokes, fills, images, etc. Type3 fonts are only
			supported by postscript printers (not by most windowing displays). They are
			capable of more exotic images than normal fonts but require much more effort
			to support.</flag>
		<flag name="pango">Enable pango font rendering</flag>
		<flag name="pasteafter">Controls whether fontforge has a paste after command
			(Useful for making words?). This is kind of fun, but it isn't useful for
			normal fonts.</flag>
		<flag name="cjk">Controls whether fontforge understands the gb12345 encoding
			and installs cidmap package to edit CID-keyed fonts</flag>
		<flag name="tilepath">Controls whether fontforge has a tile path command (a
			variant of expand stroke) This is useful for very decorative fonts, most
			people won't want it.</flag>
		<flag name="capslock-for-alt">Control whether to use capslock rather than alt/meta to alter behavior of tools in outline/bitmap windows</flag>
		<flag name="freetype-bytecode">Control whether we build with the bytecode interpreter</flag>
		<flag name="freetype">Control whether we build with freetype</flag>
		<flag name="devicetables">Control whether we build with support for device
			tables which allow fine control of kerning (etc.) at
			small point sizes</flag>
		<flag name="gb12345">Control whether fontforge understands the gb12345 encoding</flag>
		<flag name="python_single_target_python2_7">Enable Python-compatible libs (python2_7 only)</flag>
