+Fontmake can only generate a single variable font. It cannot generate a
+family of variable fonts, that are related to one another.
+
+This script will update the nametables and STAT tables so a family
+which has more than one variable font will work correctly in desktop
+applications.
+
+It will also work on single font VF families by creating a better STAT
+table.
+
+TODO make script work on VFs which have multiple axises. We'll need to
+change the axis array format to v4 (we're using v1),
+https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/stat#axis-value-table-format-4
+
+Atm, the script will work well for single axis fonts and families which
+have a single vf for Roman and another for Italic/Condensed, both using the wght
+axis (covers 95% of GF cases).
