I think the current plan is for a horizontal bar along the top, like in
Eli's HTML mock:

https://sugarlabs.github.io/edit-fonts-activity/mockups/EditFontsMockUpJS.activity/

I think we will also need a table, like the TruFont one:

Please be more specific, perhaps quoting the part of the docs you are
unclear about :)

http://ts-defcon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/concepts/representations.html

http://ts-defcon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/concepts/notifications.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern

how should I implement these in the glyphRenderer Class?


I'm not sure - what does TruFont do?

- whats the difference between an Anchor and Point in an UFO file?

A point is a bezier point, part of a contour.

An anchor is a 'singleton' point, used to 'snap' glyphs together using
OpenType Features (GPOS/GSUB code)
