  Description     : Compile fonts from sources (UFO, Glyphs) to binary
(OpenType, TrueType)

This library provides a wrapper for several other Python libraries which
together compile fonts from various sources (.glyphs, .ufo) into binaries
(.otf, .ttf).

Having this in Debian would allow building packages like fonts-firacode from
source. Currently we can't build .glyphs fonts from source so they are in the
contrib section.
