Glyph set is complete. Builds are working, with no FB check fails/fatals/errors. There are about 10 glyphs that require some adjustments to diacritic placement (mostly collisions or too-tight m2mk stacked diacritics; a couple of horizontal alignment tweaks). About 5 or 6 that need some other form of fix, such as path direction or sidebearings.
