  Description     : Converter and deserializer for FontLab Studio 5 VFB files

FontLab’s own vfb2ufo converter is from 2015, only outputs UFO v2, and contains
serious bugs that are never going to be fixed. There are some fonts in
Debian that have their source stored in fvb which are usually converted
via a proprietary tool to some other format and are not built from the
original source during package build time. This package is introduce to
rectify that.
