Description

I believe we have a few families in the pipeline which use Glyphsapp's internal hinting tool. I don't think we currently support this.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating how glyphsLib reads Glyphs source data and where hinting information is handled, then determine how Glyphsapp’s internal hinting is represented. Done means families using that hinting tool are supported by the conversion without losing the hinting data.
