IBM Plex uses some abbreviations also in the fullname and we do not try
abbreviations when resolving weights.
[how]
As this is the only font that has such specials we handle it beforehand
and do not try all combinations of abbreviated and long keywords.
And then their abbreviations are also not standard - at least not used
by us or Adobe, etc.
For such a small amount of affected font files it seems in order to
specifically just fix them instead of a general solution.

[why]
The 'Text' weight of Plex is handled as 'other', means that this is
added to the font's name and is a distrinct own family.
But in the original font it is used as weight.
[how]
Remove special handling of 'text' in the font name.
Add 'Text' to known_weights list.
"Text" is not a standard naming, but I see no problems when we handle it
as one. This keeps the family relationships in Blex like Plex.

Function get_name_token has a Cognitive Complexity of 12 (exceeds 9 allowed).

[how]
Remove not really needed special case.
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:
Family (ID 1) : CartographF Nerd Font Condensed
SubFamily (ID 2) : Bold
Fullname (ID 4) : CartographF Nerd Font Condensed Bold
PSN (ID 6) : CartographFNF-CondensedBold
PrefFamily (ID 16) : CartographF Nerd Font
PrefStyles (ID 17) : Condensed Bold
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.

For fonts that have no Italic but an Oblique - i.e. when Oblique shall
replace the Italic role in RIBBI font grouping (classic group of 4) -
that grouping fails.
This affects DejaVu on Putty.
[how]
For RIBBI grouping only the classic bits are considered. That means that
for fonts that have Oblique instead of Italic (and not additionally) we
need to set the ITALIC bit and the OBLIQUE bit. This has been
overlooked.
Cite from the specs:
> This bit, unlike the ITALIC bit (bit 0), is not related to style-linking

After changing something in the patch process it is unclear if all the

The config.cfg settings can be wrong if the to-be-patched font does not

all fonts are patched sequentially in the same shell.
On parallel runs (like the release process) this is not a problem
because each patcher runs in its own subshell.

The special Hack postprocessing does this:
* Add a dummy signature
* Set fsType to zero
* run ttfautohint on the font
There once has been reason to do this (probably), but on currently
supported fontforges this is not needed anymore.
* Fonts run fine without the signature
* fsType is anyhow zero, set by fontforge
* the preexisting hinting is kept by fontforge
(furthermore: We do not want hints for the symbols usually)
Double-checked source and patched font with ttx, instructions (hints)
are definitively existing and equal in the patched font.
So we do not need any of this special postprocessing anymore.

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

just an oblique one (like Bitstream Vera and descendants).

Add new command line option for font-patcher that specifies if the

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.

user who can select the shortening method as parameter to the

If run via gotta-patch-em the output is hard to process afterwards
automatically.
[how]
Use the logging module which outputs the messages and also writes a
run-log with all vital information.

Cognitive burden of shorten_style_name() is 13 (allowed 9).
Duplicate code
if self.use_short_families[1]:
weights = FontnameTools.short_styles(weights)
styles = FontnameTools.short_styles(styles)
[how]
I do not really buy the duplicate code issue (but circumvent it anyway).
shorten_style_name() was really hard to grasp, maybe use of a helper
function makes it more readable.

[why]
The old naming is the reason for a lot problems. It creates a lot of
duplicate names and breaks bigger font families.

After introducing --makegroups we now enable it for all fonts.
Remove special cases from config.cfg files.

[why]
We created two fonts, one 'normal' and one 'Windows Compatible'. The
later one used shorter names because there are some Microsoft
applications that can not work with long (family-) names.
But it would be better to have universally usable fonts, like all our
sourcefonts. It would reduce confusion and also reduce the size of
installation packages.
[how]
ID 1 (Family) family()
Unchanged
Take the short form font name. Appends depending on mode short or long
weight.
ID 2 (SubFamily) subfamily()
Unchanged
Transmogifies Oblique to Italic.
Returns long form styles (i.e. RIBBI)
ID 4 (Fullname) CFF.Fullname fullname()
Take the short form font name (instead of long).
Depending on mode take short or long styles.
This is now in line with ID 4 = ID 1 + ID 2
ID 6 (PS Fullname) CFF.FontName psname()
We limited the length to 31 characters, which is sometimes too short
to have different names for fonts of one same family.
Now we take the short forms of name suffix and styles, for example
VictorMonoNFM-BdIt
ID 16 (Typogr. Family) preferred_family()
The name itself is unchanged (short form name plus verbose suffix),
but the suppression check has been fixed to really compare the
resulting name with the ID 1 name.
ID 17 (Typogr. Subfamily) preferred_styles()
This is unchanged (long form styles) but the suppression check has been
fixed to really compare the resulting string with ID 2.
CFF.Familyname ps_familyname()
Uses ID 16 now and ID 1 as fallback. Was always ID 1 before, which is
wrong.

[why]
Specifying an empty string as prefix unexpectedly does not enable short
family names for all fonts - but for no font at all.
Usually an empty prefix matches all strings (font names).
This makes it hard to enable short families for all fonts no matter
what.
[how]
Fix detection if the prefix is False or a string.

This just drops the 'windows compatibility' options in association with
the name parser (i.e. --makegroups') as we want to always create fonts
that work on any platform.
Note that the fonts prodused right now are NOT windows compat anymore
and you can not specify the flag. Violating 'git rules' this commit is
not working correctly. But it is easier to do this in smaller steps.

[why]
The postscript font name length limit of 31 is only present in very old
post script printers. And even then it depends on the printing method.
Some of our well knows source fonts have longer PS names (Noto etc).
And the limit exists regardless of windows or not.
[how]
Let limit depend on PS name part (font name or family name).
Remove reference to windows compat mode.

Some styles can not take modifiers. We handle the shortening as if they
can. That is not a problem but mighht be unexpected.
Do detect weights we have a fixed list, but that is missing a lot
weights that we would be able to shorten.
The shortening does not work for 'Retina', which is imho a more recent
'invention' (after the paper of the previous commit has been written).
[how]
Separate known weights and make them accessible from other functions.
Use these data tables also for weight detection.
Introduce 'Retina' in the weights table.

We really struggle to keep the font names below the length limits. To
achieve this some styles are abbreviated. The abbreviations have been
taken from Noto and were initially used to mimic Noto's naming scheme.
But a bit shorter names would help in some instances to produce short
enough name entries. Also some styles that are used by fonts other than
Noto are not abbreviated at all.
[how]
In document [1] Adobe gives examples of very short style abbreviations.
We just implement all these.
Example: 'ExtraCondensed' now becomes 'XCn' instead of the more readable
but longer 'ExtCond' that Noto uses.

There are some more name entries that we should rename or remove.
None of the fonts in the src/unpatched-fonts/ has these set; but in
principle a font could have it set and then we would need to handle
that.
[how]
Just remove the entries if they are existing.
Note that we do not handle NameID 25.
Also add some more comments.

[why]
When we rename a font we should always also change the unique ID.
[how]
Take the fullname and the Nerd Font version number. In general we do not
have the version number in the NameParser object; but we have the
'Version' name and we loot the last word (which we have set to the Nerd
Font version already in the patcher) as version descriptor.

Some glyph names in the CSS/cheat-sheet/json database are wrong.
[how]
For the wheather icons: Check against the glyph names in the original
repo's CSS.
For the Octicons: Check against glyph name in the symbolfont.
Did not check all glyphs, just the two reported ones.

When testing 'Nerd Font' fonts (i.e. symbols may be 2 cells wide),
the output does not take that into account and does not insert
the needed blanks.
[how]
Because the actual width can not be easily determined add a
parameter (just add anything as parameter) to switch some glyphs
to two cell mode. These glyphs are in a list, i.e. hardcoded.
If the widths in non-Mono fonts is ever changed this script needs
to be adapted.

On MacOS Ventura the unicode codepoints are shown instead of the actual
glyphs.
[how]
On that OS the bash is rather old and does not have the unicode escape
sequence \u. As it is rather hard to convert it to octal UTF8 we instead
embed simply the concrete characters, as done in the i_*.sh scripts.
Note: zsh on that OS does have it, though.

I'm no Mac expert, just trying to get this working.

In the CI we have only a shallow clone of the repo, so access to tags is
not possible. Instead of resulting in a nice message like '2.3.3-35' we
get an empty string.
[how]
As we have no tags we can only write the commit hash and other
information given in the only existing (i.e. last) commit:
date, author, title
It's a bit more cumbersome but one can still see from which point in the
repo the archive has been created.
