I would like to import the Amstelvar UFOs into Glyphs, and export a Variable Font that is equivalent to the [AmstelvarAlpha-VF.ttf](https://github.com/TypeNetwork/fb-Amstelvar/blob/master/fonts/AmstelvarAlpha-VF.ttf) binary made with the UFOs and fontmake.

But these UFOs have quadratic bezier points, which are converted to Cubics on import.

Is there a way to stop that conversion from happening?

Version 2.5 will keep the quadratic curves.
