Description

This I something that came up in this issue: https://github.com/linebender/runebender/issues/248#issuecomment-834614065

If icons are stored in the `resources` directory in the future, it might be nice to store them as individual `.glif` files instead of a full `ufo`. @ctrlcctrlv has set up MFEK to do this, so I'll look into how it is done there at some point.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #248 and the referenced MFEK approach for storing icons as individual .glif files. Then inspect how the resources directory and full UFO files are currently handled; done means the editor can open individual .glif files from resources without requiring a full UFO.
