[why]
All the fonts will have different timestamps, and within each font the
creation and modification date might also differ. That is quite
confusing and makes automated testing very complicated.
[how]
Use one date-time for ALL fonts and for creation and modification date
in the font file.
But do not change the date-time if we already set that somewhere before :-}
Also remove the 'special' properitary fontforge timestamp tables FFTM from
the patched fonts. This is only possible since FontForge 20th Anniversary
Edition.

From the name we used the non-Mono Symbols font for the webfonts. But in
the Cheat Sheet we want to display the icons all in nice boxes, all with
the same size. That is not the case for the non-Mono font, here all

[why]
Normally the release zip files have a flat directory structure, i.e. all
files are in the base directory and there are no subdirs. The existing
subdirectory structure is removed on zip creation via `archive-fonts.sh`.
If the patch results have two fonts with identical name these flat
archives can not be generated. The `archive-fonts.sh` reports:
Could not create archive with the path junked (-j option) - likely
same font names for different paths, zip status: $zipStatus
Retrying with full path
But now the problem is only delayed. When the font file has the name
name the Family and SubFamily are most likely also the same for both
font files. If we install both the user (and the system) can not really
distinguish the font files anymore.
This turned up with [1] when doing a `brew style *nerd-font*` that
complains in fact about duplicate fonts to install. At that point we had
the additional problem that the subdir-path had been missing in the cask
files. So I'm not sure if it would work from a Cask standpoint (i.e.
font files are installed in subdirs).
Anyhow, this will fail when the user wants to select the font files,
because normally this is done on a Family-name basis. And identical file
name usually means identical Family-SubFamily.
Note that this ONLY happens with GohuFont, which has these subdirs:
11/complete
14/complete
uni-11/complete
uni-14/complete
The font has embedded bitmaps, but only one size. The "11" ones have
11px bitmap fonts and the "14" ones 14px bitmaps.
The "uni-" variant has much more glyphs.
Otherwise the differences are slim. From the font creation date the
"uni-" ones are newer.
[how]
Each font filename added to a cask is memorized. When the next fontfile
is to be added to the cask it is checked if we already have that
filename installed. Duplicates are then skipped.
If we have a deep archive, the fonts are added to the cask with full
relative path.
In case of Gohu that means the 11/complete variant is added (because all
files are alphabetically sorted before adding). By chance this is the
same variant that has historically been in the Cask, so no change here.

Sometimes the shortest Family is not a meaningful name, for example
iMWritingDuo
iMWritingDuospace
iMWritingMono
iMWritingQuattro
Obviously the shortest name is not adequate.
[how]
Instead we find the shortest word stem of the name. The common beginning
of all names. In the example above that is `iMWriting`.
If we have such a case we show in the name that there are multiple
families in the cask, by adding "families" to the name.
[note]
Also always capitalize the font name. Some fonts have a
all-small-letters name, but that seems a bit out of place and has been

Some fonts have different and not consistent Family names set,

$ fc-query --format='%{family}\n' patched-fonts/Hasklig/Black/complete/Hasklug\ Black\ Nerd\ Font\ Complete.otf
Hasklug Nerd Font,Hasklig Black
See also previous commit's message, bottom.
[how]
We want to use only one of the Family names (fc-query reports all as
csv, unless we specify an index), so query one by one.
Check that it is 'our' name (that contains "Nerd") and not a leftover
from uncomplete patching.

Also whitespace change: One tab to spaces.
Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
[why]
The code takes the FamilyName out of the first patched font file and
puts that into the cask name field.
This has two problems:
After we joined Mono and non-Mono fonts into one cask the first font
might be a "Nerd Font Complete Mono" and we certainly do not want that
FamilyName in a cask that also contains the non-Mono variants.
We have some fonts with more than one Family, for example
CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font SemiLight
CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font Light
CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font
CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font ExtraLight
Taking the first encountered Family name is most certainly not want we
want.
[how]
Examine all patched fonts and collect their FamilyName and use the
shortest of them, as that usually is the base stem.
This still fails for somem fonts, like Hasklug
Hasklig Black
Hasklig ExtraLight
Hasklig Light
Hasklig Medium
Hasklig Semibold
Hasklug Nerd Font
But that font's FamilyName is broken anyhow, note that the RFN renaming
does not really work consistently. It would be fixed by using
`font-patcher` with option `--makegroups`, which should become the
default soon.
This will be tackled by the next commit.

We want to replace the existing casks. But they do not have a consistent
way to name the casks. Sometimes blanks are preserved (as dashes):
"unpatchedName": "DejaVu Sans Mono",
"patchedName": "DejaVuSansMono",
"caskName": "dejavu-sans-mono",
The above looks like cask-name == unpatched-name.
Here they introduce blanks out of thin air (the original name does not
have blanks):
"unpatchedName": "DaddyTimeMono",
"patchedName": "DaddyTimeMono",
"caskName": "daddy-time-mono",
Here they add something to the name??!:
"unpatchedName": "Gohu",
"patchedName": "Gohu",
"caskName": "gohufont",
Here the cask-name follows the RFN renaming:
"unpatchedName": "Hasklig",
"patchedName": "Hasklug",
"caskName": "hasklug",
Here they do not follow the RFN renaming:
"unpatchedName": "Liberation",
"patchedName": "LiterationMono",
"caskName": "liberation",
And there are a lot more ... strangenesses.
I guess the casks have been created by different people following
different ideas.
[how]
All these inconsistencies makes setting up rules how to determine the
cask name from the other names very complicated and brittle.
If we want to preserve the existing cask names the simplest and most
stable approach is to explicitely specify them in the fonts.json
database:
Introduce a new data field "caskName", like shown above.

When the source font is proportional we can not really create a
monospaced (patched) font from it. The glyph width is for example very
small for 'i' but wide for 'W'.
The glyphs are all left aligned, leaving very strange separation between
smallish glyphs.
Even if we would center the glyphs, the look would be strange and
completely differenmt from the source font's look.
[how]
For proportional fonts do not allow to patch with `--mono`.
The fact if a source font is monospaced is determined by examining some
(very few) glyphs. But testing all our source fonts in the repo shows
that it is sufficient.
Furthermore the Panose flag is checked and differences between the flag
and what the glyph examination found are reported.
The user can enforce `Nerd Font Mono` generation with double specifying
the command line option `--mono --mono`. Still a warning will be issued.
[note]
Because `gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher!.sh` does not really count the
variations but calculates them in a separate loop it does not know
anymore how many variations are created per family. The numbers are
wrong.
But probably we should count the result font files in the end anyhow.
Because the information is not needed (in an automated manner) this is
not corrected here.
It seems wrong anyhow:
total_variation_count=$((total_variation_count+combination_count))
total_count=$((total_count+complete_variations_per_family+combination_count))

When the CI triggers a rebuild of the original-source and the font
contents is unchanged we do not want to commit the new version back to
the repo.
But because fontforge puts the creation date into the font file it will
always differ on every run, and we would needlessly create commits.
[how]
We could use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH approach and set the dates to the
relevant change (commit) times like so:
cd src/svgs
export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH="$(git log -1 --format=%ct -- *.svg)"
and only afterwards call the generator script / fontforge.
But that would need a complete git repo checkout and not just a shallow
one (which is faster and thus is used by github action/checkout).
Instead we can instruct fontforge to not put any timestamp into the
file. The timestamps are anyhow a fontforge proprietary extension.

Often the SVGs are rather detailed and result in a big
original-source.otf, which then again results in bigger than needed
patched fonts.
[how]
Typically people suggest using svgo to make SVGs smaller, but that just
tackles the representation of the icon, i.e. the actual svg file. That
does not help us at all. We do not need small svg files, we need simple
icons with few points and lines. svgo does not have that capability.
Instead Inkscape's 'Simplify' is used. Repeated use can destroy a glyph,
so we need a scale down margin to stop 'over-simplification'.
The values given for the margin at the moment are purely empirical, the
current glyphs survive repeated use of the new simplification script and
still look good.
The resultant original-source.otf file size is approximately similar to
the previously achieved by Ryan's manual work.

When we add a custom glyph (or want to update Seti) the process is
rather laborious and we are needed to change the font and the
accompanying `i_seti.sh` in sync.
[how]
We use a data file to map icon (svg) filenames to codepoints and
readable names.
That file is parsed and the font and info file is created (overwritten
in the repo); and could then be easily committed. This can be a CI
workflow.
Having a dedicated mapping file (`icons.tsv`) enables us to have stable
codepoints for the same symbol over time. Changes in codepoint
allocation can be checked in git.
Having the font autogenerated help guarantee that the icons are all
likely scaled. We rescale them all to the same size and mid-position.
That is not needed for font-patcher, because it rescales and shifts
again based on to-be-patched font metrics. But it certainly is better
for a view into the original-source font.
Sizes and position are still roughly equivalent to the hand positioned
glyphs.
