Description

Building TTFs from within Glyphsapp respects the Scale to UPM Custom Parameter which performs scaling of all relevant values on the generated TTF Binaries.

Doing the same thing with FontMake has no effect. It would be extremely good to have support for this parameter since manually scaling all glyphs in the source files would take a lot of time and effort.

This problem was observed when preparing for a pull request for the Hanken Grotesk family to be added to the Google Fonts collection.
