Well, I've been trying to read all I can about this with regard
to FontLab yet still I've succumb to turning things on/off to see
if there are any improvements (ie. I'm not doing something right
I've figured that much and I sure don't know what the heck I'm
doing even :-)

I have no idea what that means :-)  Is Fontconfig a tool ?  Is there
someone that can help either take this on entirely or at a minimum
spend say 20-30 minutes on IRC for me to ask some detailed questions
(again using FontLab and/or FCP).
