Noto Sans-Mono still has a one-advance wide 'fi' ligature.
This should have been fixed by commit
d9f7dbe23 Prepatched fonts: Revive some ligature removal
but obviously has been overlooked.
[how]
Add its fi-lig subtable to the remove list for all Noto fonts.

When viewed on a small screens the contributors page on the gh-pages
looks not very nice and overflows.
[how]
Instead of a table with a predefined number of rows we just use blocks
in an inline context that allows the line break to adjust to the
available width.

The left leg is far too thin.
The gaps between the left legs are rather small.
That makes noticing the details hard, but that are decisive elements.
[how]
Manually edit in Inkscape...

We want the workflow to do this so that we have control over the

It is rather confusing to have so many aliases.

Remove some long forms and some alternatives, to make the help page

It can be hard to find the 'usual' options in between all the expert
options.
[how]
Regroup the options and sort them alphabetically (most of the time).
Not sure if this helps, but in my personal view this makes it easier.

When the original font designer's idea of cell height differs from the
height we deduce the box drawing glyphs come out with the wrong size (if
we do not touch them, for example because the font already has a
complete set).
[how]
Add option that enforces patch-in of the box set.

[why]
If the font has contradicting baseline to baseline metrics the patcher
tries to find a sane value and use that. That automatism gets it right
in most cases, but there might be fonts where the user wants a different
metric to be used.
At the moment the use would need to use `font-line` to adjust the
metrics, which is not very convenient.
[how]
Add option to select one of the metricses.
Use that metrics when setting up the patched font.

Some PS weights have a dash in the weight, like 'Extra-Light' in
Iosevka. The parser can not parse it because it expects 'ExtraLight'.
[how]
Filter out all '-' and ' ' from the PS weight string before actually
parsing the string.

[why]
When the weight check fails for some input the reason is not shown
correctly (i.e. not the string that actually failed).

Display exactly the failed string in the warning.

[why]
When the font does not have a PSweight string the font-patcher bugs.
[how]
Rewrite the code to be more robust against unexpected weight values.
Also make detected problems non-fatal.

The Material Design Icons moved codepoints around the Nerd Fonts v3
transition. In the latest v2.x releases both codepoint ranges were
present, and so we had the MD icons with different names and sets and
codepoints in two different i_*.sh files.
Since the old MD codepoints have been dropped the i_material.sh is not
actively used anymore - well, it is used to create the 'marked as
removed' entries in the cheat sheet.
That has not been properly documented here.

[why]
We struggle with the pack-committing of patched fonts to the repository
on release. This makes our repo grow extremely big. It would be better
to just use release artifacts for the releases and not commit any
patched font back.
There were different approaches discussed, but the problem remains that
I personally have no rights to implement anything of that - neither can
I force push to the default branch, nor can I create new repos in the
organization.
[how]
To make it still possible to add new fonts without a repo size
explosion we do not release NEW fonts back to the repository as commits,
but old fonts are handled as before.
NEW fonts:
* have a new property set in the fonts.yaml 'database'
* are released as release artifact via release workflow (but not
committed back)
* get a readme in the patched_fonts/ directory that points to the
release artifact page
The solution is not ideal, but for sure better than not adding any fonts
anymore or having the repo grow in size faster and faster.
At some point in time I would like to phase out all in-repo releases,
also for OLD fonts.
This scheme has been (manually) used / introduced for Intel One.
With this change the .gitignore file is automatically adapted to any new
font that is added with the repoRelease flag set to false (which should
be the default for any added font from now on).

When a user sets the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable the default of
$HOME/.local/share should not be used.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory
[how]
Enable XDG_DATA_HOME to override the default user data directory on Unix
and MacOS platforms.
There is some controversy if XDG_DATA_HOME should be honored on MacOS,
see for example platformdirs (link below). But me also working on Linux
and MacOS (and Windows) in parallel, I can not quite follow the
downsides and believe we should allow XDG_DATA_HOME also for MacOS.
