The CFF2ToCFF module is rather solid, at least IMO.
This takes convertCFFToCFF2 from cffLib. Apparently there's a more
complete one in varLib.cff:

Should merge the two and finish them.
Fixes#2898
use Latin1Converter for all name strings, and not just for Notice and Copyright. Then at least we can round-trip binary=>TTF=>binary, even if the TTX will not show the intended string.
Given that any non-ASCII in FullName can be considered broken, this at least this would let us round-trip without error.
* Replaced all from ...py23 import * with explicit name imports, or removed completely when possible.
* Replaced tounicode() with tostr()
* Changed all BytesIO ans StringIO imports to from io import ..., replaced all UnicodeIO with StringIO.
* Replaced all unichr() with chr()
* Misc minor tweaks and fixes
Note UI change : `fonttools varLib.models` now takes prefixed options `-d` or `-l` instead of guessing the intended feature from the number of arguments.
We have a number of command line tools which are somewhat opaque. (varLib.models in particular was very confusing.) This ensures that they all use argparse to have a consistent interface, and all have --help documentation which at least details their parameters, and hopefully therefore gives more of a clue about what they do. Those which use logging have had a command-line logging parameter added.
This adds a `help` verb (and `--help` option) to the `fonttools` command line tool. Submodules will be listed in the help text if they have an importable `main` function with a docstring, and `main`'s docstring will be used as the one-line description for the help text.
Similar to what we do with “post” table names. I’d have said the font is
broken, but all applications I tried it with loaded it just fine, though
they differed in which glyph to pick from the duplicate ones.

Introduced in CFF2 table, but code does not limit it to CFF2 table. If
FDSelect format is set to 4, it will be read/written regardless of the
table version.
When checking if there was an initial width argument, old logic did not correctly sum the number of blend and non-blend arguments before the first hint or moveto operator.
Added test case. Old logic dropped the arguments for the hmoveto in the last glyph.
This required a fix to fontTools/cffLib. When reading a CFF2 variable font (VF) from XML, the VF state in FontDict and PrivateDict does not get set. I made a temporary fix by adding a loop to set PrivateDict.vstore for all the PrivateDict objects after the XML file has been read. This should not be necessary, and in the near future I will revisit both this issue, and the related use of isCFF2 when compiling/decompiling.
