Description

Adding a guide to a glyph is cool, but in order to be useful I think the guides need to show up on all glyphs rather than just the one it was added too.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing glyph-guide handling in the font editor and trace how guides are stored and rendered for one glyph. Done means a guide added to one glyph is visible on all glyphs, with the relevant behavior covered by tests if the project has them.
