FWIW, do note that the popular fonts (esp from legacy partitions)
w/ embedded bitmaps do not have bitmaps for all scalable glyphs,
so a single flag per font will not guarantee accuracy.

The glyphs w/o bitmaps seem to be 2ndary to the font's target
audience.  (One example I looked at recently was intended for
lang=ko and had bitmaps for only about 60% or 70% of the rest
of the CJK characters it had outlines for.)  As such, use of
the bitmap-less glyphs will be relatively rare, but the choice
of which glyph to test needs to be language-dependent.
