Subject: Update lettering_svg_font_to_layers.py (#3883)

* Update lettering_svg_font_to_layers.py

when we  get a glyph from the Private Unicode Area, the entry point has no meaning, but hopefully we can get some good information from the glyph_name

* Update font_info.py

kerning information must be associated to the right nanme glyph layer in case of PUA letters

* remove commented code
