+# Glyph Filter Lists
+
+## About
+
+The Glyph Filter Lists repository contains over 100 character set lists that are released under free, open licenses.  The glyph name lists are formatted as annotated, newline-delimited text files that are intended for both human and computer use.  They have been compiled from a number of upstream data sources.
+
+## Data Sources
+
+- Adobe Inc.
+- Comité Européen de Normalisation
+- Google Inc.
+- Georg Seifert
+- Underware
+- Unicode Consortium
+
+## Usage
+
+The filter list files are found in the `filters` directory of this repository.
+
+## Filter List File Formatting
+
+The file name specifies the filter list name.  The filter list files are formatted as newline-delimited text files of glyph names.  The files include `//` and `#` symbols as comment delimiters immediately following the newline character for the previous line in the file.  The entire string through the next newline character is treated as a comment after these delimiters.
+
+The sections of the filter list files include:
+
+### Header metadata
+
+The header metadata includes the name of the filter list and license information.
+
+### Comment metadata
+
+Comment lines directly above glyph name lines include a combination of the following data as necessary and when available:
+
+- Unicode code point in hexadecimal format
+- production name
+- nice name
+- Unicode short description
+
+### Glyph names
+
+AGL-style nice names are the default format used in the filter list files.
+
+An example of the standard formatting in the first several lines of the `filters/Latvian.txt` filter list provides a demonstration of the data sections documented above:

+## Use as Glyph Filter Lists with Font Editors
+
+### Glyphs font editor
+
+The Glyphs font editor supports use of lists of glyph names as filters for new glyph creation, automated OpenType feature generation, and character set coverage determination.  The remote text files in this repository can be imported directly into the Glyphs editor as new glyph name filter lists with the free, open source [Filter List Manager (FLM) plugin](https://github.com/source-foundry/FilterListManager).  You can learn how to specify your remote filter list definition files in [the FLM plugin documentation](https://github.com/source-foundry/FilterListManager#remote-definition-files).
+
