This sets out to circumvent a problem with VisualStudio 2022. That
application seems to have problems with fonts when the ID16 is not a
prefix in ID1.
We have this when --makegroups >= 4, because
ID1 has the short name suffix 'NF'
ID16 has the long suffix 'Nerd Font'
These fonts can be selected in VisualStudio 2022, and the preview works
ok, but once active some replacement default font is used instead.
The problem vanishes if ID16 and ID1 have the same stem, or rather ID1
has someting added on top of ID16; but ID16 is a substring of ID1.
See more discussions in #1442
[how]
Write both forms in ID16 fields, 'NF' and 'Nerd Font' suffixes. This
works as long as the application considers all languages equal.

It is better to have a not-abbreviated file name so that one can make
sense out of the name parts, especially when doing a partial patch.
With the previous commit we ended up with all abbreviated names.
The filename length is hopefully not limited, at least not as severe as
the SFNT table entries.
[how]
We need to store the answers somewhere because the naming is only
understood by the FontnameParser object which we throw away soon.
As fallback we still can parse the SFNT table, for example when the old
renaming is used.

[why]
Because the newer Preferred/Typographic names ID 16 and ID 17 have not
a very demanding length limit we add the long form of the name
addendum (i.e. Nerd Font, Nerd Font Mono, Nerd Font Propo).
In the more restricted old names ID 1 and ID 2 we use the short forms
(i.e. NF, NFM, NFP).
This seems to be problematic with Visual Studio (Community) 2022 and the
fonts can be selected but are not really used.
The Postscript family name is never shortened which seems to be of no
consequence, but still is different than the other.
[how]
When creating the Preferred/Typographic Family (ID 16) we check the
shortening mode first and abbreviate the parts as needed and alike ID 1.
This will also change the filenames, because they base on the SFNT
table. We can not change that without changing the whole mechanism.
[note]
Also add new tool that lists all names of fonts, including the
Postscript ones.

Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
[why]
Some fonts might have a non-standard (i.e. broken) weight naming scheme:
They put a blank or a dash between the modifier and the weight, for
example "Extra Bold" or "Demi-Condensed", when they mean "ExtraBold"
resp "DemiCondensed".
The former happens with CartographCF, the later with IBM3270.
[how]
Automatically allow a dash between modifier and weight, which comes up
as CamelCase boundary. Insert an optional dash (r'-?') into such
boundaries.
For the further lookup we need to remove the dash in the found keyword,
if there is any, to get back to standard naming.
This might break if the font name ends in a modifier. So we can not
really distinguish
Font Name Extra Bold Italic
=> Font Name - ExtraBold Italic
=> Font Name Extra - Bold Italic
The known modifiers are 'Demi', 'Ultra', 'Semi', 'Extra'.
It is possible but unlikely that a font name ends in one of these.
For example "Modern Ultra - Bold".
[note]
The question arises if we should not parse the PSname instead of the
Fullname; and stick to the dash there as boundary.
The problem might be prepatched fonts with broken naming, that would be
parsed completely wrong then. So maybe the current approach is still the
best, with the caveat given above (fontnames ending in a modifier).
[note 2]
Funny enough the variable allow_regex_token was not used at all :->
Some leftover? Anyhow we use it now.
[note 3]
We can still not remove the special handling for IBM3270, because the
font initially looks like a PSname and this is parsed as such, which
breaks the name in the incorrect place:
PSname template = "Name-StylesWeights"
Fullname of 3270 = "IBM 3270 Semi-Condensed"

The code is obviously wrong. No effect has been seen, though.
First we check if a certain string is a key in the dict.
If it is, we retrieve the value with the string lower-cased as key.
This does not make sense.
[how]
All the keys are lower case anyhow, so the code seems unneeded. Maybe it
is a leftover. The styles that go into it _and are in the dict_ all come
from a regex-enabled search and thus are lower-cased.
Whatever, to have the correct code we use the lower-cased string for
both, checking for existance and retrieving the value - this is the only
sane approach.
Also change to dict.get() method instead of a self made if code.

Patching CartographCF-Bold.ttf creates this naming:

Fullname (ID 4) : CartographF Nerd Font Condensed Bold
PSN (ID 6) : CartographFNF-CondensedBold
PrefFamily (ID 16) : CartographF Nerd Font

CartographF Nerd Font Condensed Bold
\===> 'CartographFNerdFont-CondensedBold.ttf'
[how]
The font-patcher historically used the file name of the to-be-patched
font to come up with the new name. When the FontnameParser has been
developed that mechanics has been copied at least for fallback. The
earliest tests compared old and new naming with all the filenames.
Later, when the FontnameParser has been used to really apply name
changes it has always based the parsing on the Fullname or the PSname,
because they really hold the information (or at least should hold);
while the filename might be completely random.
Still code the dealt with specific problems in FILEnames prevailed. The
Ubuntu font for example has a file name like 'Ubuntu-C.ttf', and we
needed to convert the C to Condensed.
As that requirement vanished we can drop all the code that has been
added specifically only for parsing the Ubuntu font filenames.
Side note: USUALLY font filenames should be roughly equal to the PSname.

Because we do not know if a complete family of fonts has an italic face
we must always assume it does. To get clean RIBBI families in ID1/2 we
create a different family for the oblique slant.
But that is not needed if the font does not have an italic slant, but
just an oblique one (like Bitstream Vera and descendants).
[how]
Add new command line option for font-patcher that specifies if the
family of fonts should be patched under the assumption that there might
be an italic face (default), or if we are sure there is none (and we can
leave oblique in the RIBBI group).
This is then applied to the config.cfg files.

Introduce a new shortening method for the weight parts of a family name.
It takes a longer word (often un-shortened) when a weight stands on its
own, but when a modifier is used together with the weight the more

That new shortening method becomes the default and all the functions get
a new parameter to enforce completely aggressive shortening, i.e. always
use the shortest possible form.
The new way to shorten is exposed all the way out to the font-patcher
user who can select the shortening method as parameter to the
--makegroups option. That option is undocumented because I expect some
