I believe TrueType may demand tables are in a particular order; if so,
keep with it.

Why not just start by filling a string array with the pieces of the
font, unaltered.  It may not work well, but it will be a start. 

You will probably want to start changing or removing tables; if you do
that you must rebuild the header. To find which tables you don't need,
you should
(a) figure out what each one does. Some are clearly essential, like
the glyph table.
(b) if you think you may be OK to do without some, try reconstructing
the font without them and see what happens.
