Kevin,

To understand relationships between the flags, please study just a few
lines of code here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/tree/src/base/ftobjs.c#n818

FT_LOAD_NO_RECURSE basically cancels everything including metrics
calculations. It only gives you a list of glyph components for a
composite glyph if any. It is also the only way to get that
information. So if you really need both metrics and components, you
have to load the glyph twice.
