Make ufo2ft compatible with FontParts fonts #472

anthrotype commented 3 years ago

certainly nice-to-have, but given that ufo2ft will continue to target the minimum-common-denominator of UFO-like APIs and thus will not use any fontParts-specific logic, this would be just syntactic sugar to avoid having to call fontParts.Font.naked() just before interacting with ufo2ft.

anthrotype commented 3 years ago

OK, self-correction. Font.naked() is not guaranteed to be a defcon (or ufoLib2) font, as it could be anything. Yeah, I'm supportive of this, but won't have time to work on it so contributions are welcome.
