Description

I plan to upload this font to Google Fonts in next major version.

I'm using Fontlab, and its generated .glyphs / .glyphspackage will emit error while building using fontmake

fontmake: Error: In 'source\\MapleMono[wght].glyphspackage' -> 'master_ufo\\MapleMono.designspace': Compiling UFO failed: mark anchor cannot be numbered: '_t.uni031B_2'

My command:

fontmake -g ./source/MapleMono[wght].glyphspackage --keep-overlap

Seems related issue: https://github.com/googlefonts/fontmake/issues/1104

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the fontmake error about numbered mark anchors in .glyphspackage files. Check the linked issue (googlefonts/fontmake#1104) and consider modifying the source files to remove numbering from mark anchors.
