Looking at documentation in https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge.github.com/blob/master/en-US/documentation/developers/sfdformat.md, I cannot find any way to do it from scripts.\r\n\r\nWhat I want: I generate `.sfd` with strokes in `Fore` layer, and outlines in `OUTL` layer.  I want to load this into FF, and script: do ExpandStroke() on `Fore` in all glyphs, then do: copy outlines from `OUTL` to `Fore`, and discard `OUTL`.  Do I miss something?
