Description

This is what I need to know
--
1. Glyphs naming/Font naming: is there any specific naming scheme/convention?
2. Should Automatic alignment be enabled?
3. How to combine masters into a single source file for interpolation?
4. Is there anything about opentype features that I should pay attention to
5. Steps to make sure kerning is good and organized (should compress kerning be used, and when to use?)
6. Do I have to fix the path (if needed) ? Add extremum by filter or by hand?
7. Is there anything I should pay attention to about hinting?
8. All of the helpful commands/filter I should run (for example tidying up paths... or any other scripts available)
9. All of the above but for ufo and sfd

(A step by step video tutorial on an actual workflow for a vfb source would be much appreciated!)
