glyphsets helps evaluate coverage of glyph sets in font projects If you are a font developer or typeface designer, see the "Lib/glyphsets/encodings/GF Glyph Sets" subdirectory which provides glyph set definition "standards" that are typically useful sets to draw. On the other hand, the nam files on the "Lib/glyphsets/encodings" directory are probably more useful for expert web developers. Those files explain how the Unicode Range subsets are defined, typically per script (writing system), in the Google Fonts css API.
