It looks like 'Generate' keyword in fontforge scripting language doesn't
support creation of .sfd (fontforge own file format) files, otherwise
something like the following script would qualify as an automated test
I'd guess (and yes, the fact that Wine already has/uses a similar script
has already been pointed out):

Open("marlett.ttf");
Generate("marlett.sfd");
Open("marlett.sfd");
Generate("marlett2.ttf");

which still requires an inspection of the unicode ranges field in the OS/2
header of the generated marlett2.ttf.

If we would be pissed off by every report pointing out bugs in Wine how far
Wine would be these days?
