The FDK performs weak when generating. It's even worse when you want to autohint, remove overlap, etc.

The file menu option "Generate" or through scripting font.generate(...) is using FDK to build the binaries. It's up to you if you want to use the embedded FDK or a custom installed version on your local HD.
