In #46 this project demanded a script to rearrange VTT XML glyph indexes, which is current mapper-VTT-gids.py

Rearranging VTT XML glyph indexes is a common task when dealing with VTT projects, because VTT itself uses GID Order although vttLib does not.

Therefore, it would be good to polish that script, removing the Roboto-specific variables and such, and packaging it so it can be used in any VTT project.

Perhaps the right place to publish this script is in the main fonttools repo's /Snippets folder?
@davelab6 davelab6 changed the title > The good news is, we can now rearrange the glyph indexes again if we need to and that's open source. After looking at the code (https://github.com/TypeNetwork/Roboto/blob/delivery-review/Scripts/mapper-VTT-gids.py) then this needs to be polished and packaged in order to be used again; I'll file a separate issue for that :) Package mapper-VTT-gids.py for reuse Mar 27, 2020

vttLib already transfer hints by glyph name so we don't need this script.
