Glyph order of ttf messing up flat kerning

[vinceconnare]

Output TTF from FontLabStudio 5.04 (Mac or Windows): any mode (name, unicode, code page, glyph) : to TTF

theh output ttf file's flat 'kern' table (glyph index based) is wrong because the glyph order has been changed by FontLab during output. Starting at x00A4, currency, the glyphs do not stay in Unicode glyph order (sorted by Unicode). The output file is not in the glyph order shown in FontLab's glyph 'Index Mode'.

All preferences are set to Not reorder glyphs.

Work around is to output the font as a ttf, then reopen the ttf and import the flat kerning back into the font, then generate ttf.

Is this a known issue. It is a serious problem.
