Implement noLayoutClosure flag, closes #22

README.md

@@ -52,6 +52,7 @@ Options:
 - `targetFormat` - the format to output, can be either `'sfnt'`, `'woff'`, or `'woff2'`.
 - `preserveNameIds` - an array of numbers specifying the extra name ids to preserve in the `name` table. By default the harfbuzz subsetter drops most of these. Use case described [here](https://github.com/papandreou/subset-font/issues/7).
 - `variationAxes` - an object specifying a full or partial instancing of variation axes in the font. Only works with variable fonts. See the example above.
+- `noLayoutClosure` - don't perform glyph closure for layout substitution (GSUB). Equivalent to `hb-subset --no-layout-closure` and `pyftsubset --no-layout-closure`.
 
 For backwards compatibility reasons, `'truetype'` is supported as an alias for `'sfnt'`.
