+# Source files
+
+You either edit the .glyphs file OR you edit the UFO files.
+Any edits to the .glyphs file will overwrite changes to UFO files,
+but not vice versa.
+
+`Inter-UI.glyphs` is the main combined master file.
+Editing this and running `make` patches and potentially overwrites changes to
+the UFO files and replaces `Inter-UI.desigspace`.
+
+`Inter-UI.desigspace` and `Inter-UI*.ufo` are generated from the .glyphs file
+but can be edited themselves. For instance, if you fork this project and
+prefer to work with UFOs, you can do that and simply ignore the .glyphs file.
