I spoke too soon; the tests do not appear to run.  Here's an updated
package:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public fontmake
  (package
    (name "fontmake")
    (version "3.7.1")
    (source (origin
              (method url-fetch)
              (uri (pypi-uri "fontmake" version ".zip"))
              (sha256
               (base32
                "0ib7fvwgwazm7qfj4a3rkqkb40xfbj40rnvsmkvl2isg2ky3vg9m"))))
    (build-system pyproject-build-system)
    (inputs (list python-fontmath python-glyphslib))
    (native-inputs (list unzip pytest python-setuptools-scm))
    (home-page "https://github.com/googlefonts/fontmake")
    (synopsis
     "Compile fonts from sources (UFO, Glyphs) to binary (OpenType, TrueType)")
    (description
     "Fontmake compiles fonts from various sources (@code{.glyphs}, @code{.ufo},
@code{designspace}) into binaries (@code{.otf}, @code{.ttf}).  It can be used to
create static instances and variable fonts.")
    (license license:asl2.0)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Unfortunately there are quite a few test failures to analyze.  Would
you be motivated to do so?  The end result would be a better package.
