Description

I have some code which serialises a font, and it returns `glyf: {}` because of this:

https://github.com/googlefonts/fontations/blob/d4651c5e31e81dbddac66163de66ab7fdf84488c/read-fonts/generated/generated_glyf.rs#L40-L44

Research direction

Start at generated/generated_glyf.rs lines 40–44, linked in the issue, and trace how glyf table traversal feeds font serialization. Reproduce the reported case and verify that traversing a glyf table serializes its contents instead of returning `glyf: {}`.
