Here's an interesting thing. If I change the code in cff.py (line 95) to: ```python for fontDict in fdArray: fontDict.setCFF2(True) print(fontDict.Private, fontDict.Private.rawDict.keys()) ``` it dies. But if I say: ```python...

Currently a single command (`pip3 install gftools`) will get you something that can build and hint fonts, even without homebrew. That's quite valuable.

Yeah. My end goal is to have a command where you can go `gftools fix -c some.fontbakery.check.id` and it'll fix that particular problem for you. But again, that's going to...

`exe` should be the name of the executable and `args` should be the arguments to it.

I'm going to defer to @m4rc1e here since he actually understands hinting somewhat. (I don't.)

These are very similar, but they're different and I think they should stay. `fix-family` is intended for fixing multiple fonts in the same family -which is why it outputs multiple...

We should support the options from the original builder but I'm unconvinced about the use case of declaring certain instances in the font sources and asking the builder to generate...
