Christmas comes early for everyone still having to deal with VFB files.
Our independent implementation of a VFB to UFO converter has been released!
Expect prerelease quality, handle with care ;)

@jenskutilek Since .vfb is by far the most efficient font file container that I know of, how about ufo2vfb? :-) If I convert my 118432 vfb files to UFO, I'll need an extra disk or two.

@jenskutilek Best Christmas present ever! Thank you so much for doing that. We have various hacks and postprocessors for the official vb2ufo that made it somewhat useful, but this is a game changer!
