I think we should add a page to detail answers to the frequent questions/suggestions/complaints/etc. I feel like I'm increasingly answering the same questions and my answers are getting increasingly shorter...

More libs.

(Copied from [my comment](https://github.com/unified-font-object/ufo-spec/issues/93#issuecomment-650253676) in #93) --- There has been some interest in adding a `lib` attribute at the API level in defcon and fontParts for objects that don't currently...

We're introducing minor version updates with #78. I think it would be best to make minor version additions within the major version specification and call them out rather than having...

This was on the old roadmap and hasn't been discussed lately. I think it is a good idea for UFO 4 and _maybe_ UFO 3. > Over the last 13...

I think this is because [`_set_position`](https://github.com/robotools/fontParts/blob/master/Lib/fontParts/base/base.py#L760) uses `moveBy` to move the coordinates. `moveBy` calls `transformBy` which calls `_transformBy`. The [guideline implementation of `_transformBy`](https://github.com/robotools/fontParts/blob/master/Lib/fontParts/base/guideline.py#L418) doesn't normalize the resulting coordinates. Demo: ```python...

Specifications: - [Font](https://unifiedfontobject.org/versions/ufo3/lib.plist/#publicobjectlibs) - [Glyph](https://unifiedfontobject.org/versions/ufo3/glyphs/glif/#publicobjectlibs) I have something that can be used as a starting point here: https://github.com/typesupply/guidetool/blob/main/source/code/guideTool/compatibility.py

I've run into a situation several times in which I need to remove a glyph from all layers. I've needed it so many times that I think it should be...

contour.copy().identifier

Contours are losing their identifiers when copied. The identifier needs to be copied here: https://github.com/robotools/fontParts/blob/master/Lib/fontParts/base/contour.py#L39 (Or, perhaps `identifier` needs to be in the `copyAttributes` tuple.) Test: ```python glyph = CurrentGlyph()...

Examine potential problems with Glyphs compatibility.

This issue is a continuation of the comments in #398. @schriftgestalt, could you post your fontParts wrapper code as a file attached to a comment? I'll look into the issues...
