Bug#900777: fontmake: fails to rebuild fonts-firacode from its glyphs source

It's possible that this font actually contains illegal feature syntax,

with some component of fontmake; it's worth posting an issue on Github
to have it triaged (I was planning to do this soon when I have time).

It is also possible that the font source worked at some point with the build tool chain, then the tool chain changed, breaking the build. I am not saying this is the case here, I have not looked into the details. Just to say I have seen similar issue with my team's own fonts where a font built with the toolchain, then the toolchain was updated (in one case to fix a bug), and the build broke.

So in some sense, the source was not incorrect until the build system found it to be incorrect.
