Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some real-world UFO fonts to stress-test a utility with --
in particular, anything that has particularly large .GLIFs or GLIFs with
lots and lots (LOTS) of layers. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Nate

a dozen

Just to clarify, I'm looking for GLIFs with lots of layers or lots of
contours, not for UFOs with lots of GLIFs. Sorry if that was confusing....

No app other then metapolator via ufoJS supports UFOv3 yet, but there
https://github.com/robofab-developers/robofab/tree/ufo3k under development;
so there are AFAIK no UFOv3 files with layers produced yet.

https://github.com/fontfont/RoboChrome uses 'layers' as different glyphs:

or lots of contours,
Hmm, that's a tricky one.

For lots of points, Frederika the Great has a texture applied that creates
a lot of points.
