Description

@davelab6 asked over e-mail:

Are the 'bracket' and 'brace' glyphs interpolation features compatible with the toolchain? Are smart corners and smart components?

Since Dave might not the only person wondering, should we document in the README whether fontmake supports all Glyphs features? If not, what specifically is missing?
