I am thinking of implementing a way to check the version and adapt it when required. I can build it in the current version and in the future version. It would remove the need for Fontforge for this specific reason. Would there be any interest in that? It is some work to do.
Most people I expect would prefer a simple method of fixing this than having the need to install font editing software. I know I would.

I have zero interest in editing existing fonts (or creating new ones) as I have neither the time or the inclination to do this, so if the tool to remove unwanted glyphs can also make this correcting, then I would be very graetful.
