[why]
When we changed the naming for Visual Studio all the name entries use a
shortened name if the font needs the shortened name for the ID1/2
names.
This means sometimes the family name ends in NF and there is no
differing (long) family name anymore.

[why]
We have a lot of weights, probably not all useful for terminal usages.
[how]
Use more current fetching script and limit number of weights.
Also drop the directory substructure.

[why]
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.

With Martian Mono we have a font that uses aggressive abbreviation for
the weights and styles (two letters mostly) in all name fields. That is
very hard to parse.
[how]
We rewrite the filenames such that it contains all the necessary information
and use the new patcher flag use the filename as naming source.

very hard to parse.
[how]
Adding rules that detect these very short abbreviations might trigger in
a lot wrong places. As this is the only font that uses that we do not
want to risk that.
Instead we rewrite the filenames of the source font (Martian Mono) such
that it contains all the necessary information and add a new flag to the
patcher that allows it to use the filename as naming source.
Yes, as in days long past ;-)

SemiWide and Narrow might be nice in some contexts, but that is not
really the audience of Nerd Fonts I guess.
Lets start with few and we can always add more if there is really a
demand.
Simplify the paths; the old style stems from the time when we patched
all variants per source font. Nowerdays the fonts are few (3 per source)
and will almost always be installed together anyhow.

We dropped the subdirectories and that might or might not be handled
gracefully by the release workflow.
[how]
Just flatten out of the in-repo release directory.

M Plus Code Latin -> M Plus Code Latin50
M Plus Code Latin Expanded -> M Plus Code Latin60
The versioning is rather divers, add more information into the font

Convert everything to path than combine all paths.

Monaspace has an RFN that individually protects 'Monaspace' and all the
face names of noble gases 'Xenon' etc. Both must not be used on patched
fonts.
[how]
Just add the rule(s). The concrete naming is not decided yet.
