For the fix in commit
d3ee35db name-parser: Unify abbreviations in family names
we dropped the alternative Family name with 'Nerd Font' in the cases
where the ID1/2 Family is just 'NF' (and equivalents).
The current cask generator will not find the family then anymore.
[how]
Also allow 'NF' as string, but that might trigger in the wrong places,
so not so nice.

Usage is a bit ... hard, because we need to do this before the release
is published.
Download the complete artifact zip archive from the release-drafting
run.
Unpack it into the repository (will end up in patched-fonts/)
Pack all archives with archive-fonts.sh
Then use this tool to extract the names and sizes of the artifacts.

[why]
Some styles have a too long name:
ERROR: ====-< Family (ID 1) too long (34 > 31): GeistMono Nerd Font Propo SemiBold
[how]
Turn on abbreviation.

We have no lambdas :-}

Icons used as suggested in the PR, but fixed some bugs in common-lisp
manually.

[why]
The font-logos project has been updated including 67 new icons, in which
are included GNU/Linux distributions, desktop environments, window
managers, desktop applications, some organizations and more.
Now the used range is F300-F372, 115 available logos.
After the working draft name Monispace the final patched font name will
be Monaspice.
* It keeps the characteristic `Mona` in the beginning
* It changes just one character
* The replacement is still a real word
* The replacements sounds very similar
Also other very good names have been suggested, thank you all for the
input!

[why]
We still fight with the faint lines on the big side of the powerline
glyphs. They come from the LCD antialiasing mode that has problems with
the borders.
Other fonts use far more overlap. We use only a modest amount of overlap
(2% of the width).
[how]
As the other fonts do, increase the overlap (to 7% now). We could not do
that before, because we had no full-hight 'landing platforms' on the
outsides and so the triangle would look cut off at not 100% hight.
Now with the landing platforms we can increase the overlap and still
have nice looking triangles that visibly reach the top and bottom of the
line.
Implement this only for the filled triangles to see how it goes.

[why]
The waveform glyphs E0C8 and E0CA have an incredable amount of points
and rendering is rather expensive.
It turned out that it has a hairline ourline, that will be invisible
anyhow.
[how]
Remove the Hairline, reducing the number of points to 1/3.

CascadiaCode: Rehint and use ttf
[why]
A lot people (read: People on Windows) have the variable font (VF) version of
Cascadia Mono installed - it comes bundled with Windows Terminal.
The static Cascadia Mono instances that Microsoft releases are hinted
with ttfautohint which creates small sized glyphs that are visibly very
different. People compare the static Caskaydia Mono with the VF Cascadia
Mono and are surprised.
[how]
We need to re-hint all the fonts, to get hints that are comparable
to the VF hints. We can not use the hints of the VF because the outlines
are different: The VF has (of course) overlapping outlines, while the
static ones (as usual) have not.
The re-hinting can be done with VTT or TTH - both showed results that
are more like the original VF font. The usual ttfautohint has been used
of the static fonts in the font release and can not be used. It is the
reason for this whole problem.
* Used VTT 6.35
* Open font file in VTT
* Import all programs
* Generate 'VTT talk' via Tools -> AutoHint -> LightLatinAutoHint
* Save font file as ...

The speak property is not widely supported and is currently not a standard property. If you're using it to prevent screen readers from reading certain elements, a more standard approach is to use the aria-hidden="true" attribute in your HTML.
This will hide the span with the class nf from screen readers. This is a more widely supported and standard way of controlling how screen readers interact with your elements.
