+Generic module for reading and writing the .glif format.
+
+More info about the .glif format (GLyphInterchangeFormat) can be found here:
+
+	http://unifiedfontobject.org
+
+The main class in this module is :class:`GlyphSet`. It manages a set of .glif files
+in a folder. It offers two ways to read glyph data, and one way to write
+glyph data. See the class doc string for details.
