Provide UI for “Mute kerning”
A source needs to be able to have its kerning muted.
The designspace file and the objects support it, <kerning mute="1"/>
It could be added as part of the muted glyphs popover in the sources panel
Alternatively, we could consider adding a This is a support checkbox in the sources list. That would need to be saved somehow and I don't have a proposal for that just yet. Maybe something like: <source filename="bold.ufo" name="source_1" support="1">
That might confuse the designspace readers.
But, suppose that has an answer, if we know a source is a support, it would be possible to generate previews for glyphs in this source that show how much the shape differs from a straight interpolation for that location.
