Also remove old old configure file that has been used for fast test
runs. It has the wrong format now anyhow.

[why]
For testing we might want to execute one command (e.g. font-patcher run)
once for each source font. We need to decide which of the font files is
a good choice.
[how]
Best would maybe to use the font that is used for the image previews.
We add that information for each font into the 'database'. Then we can
for example do stuff like:
while IFS= read -d $'\n' -r f; do
ls -l ../../src/unpatched-fonts/"${f}"
done < <(jq -r '.fonts | .[] | ."imagePreviewFontSource"' lib/fonts.json)
This is already utilized for the helper tools that are hid in the
generate-font-image-previews.sh script.
Note that DaddyTimeMono and NerdFontSymbolsOnly has "--ext ttf" set in the
config, so the information provided for that fonts is wrong.

History of the cask name:
It started as font-aurulentsansmono-nerd-font.rb, named by us (Nerd Font)
ecdf756a62
Then it has been dash-i-fied font-aurulent-sans-mono-nerd-font.rb
e8c2732486
Then just one year ago the Nerd Font release CI got an overhaul and I
(personally) put in font-aurulent-nerd-font.rb, despite the fact that I
did look up all cask names and put them into a 'database' in our CI:
c8cb5c7 casks: Hardcode cask names in fonts.json
[how]
Drop the wrong cask name (font-aurulent-nerd-font.rb) and use the more
correct and older one (casks: Hardcode cask names in fonts.json)

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]
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.

SemiWide and ExtraWide 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.
Shorten the naming a bit for, for example

[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).

The license of Bitstream Vera requires patched fonts to contain neither
"Bitstream" nor "Vera" in the name. It explicitly requires that also
for fonts that (only) add some glyphs.
Yes, we are rather late to notice this :-( Sorry.
[how]
Rename Bitstream Vera to BitstromWera, and also drop the Sans Mono part
of the name. The new name looks and sounds similar enough to get the
reference, while being shorter and somewhat logical.

[why]
When creating the readmes the config.cfg are checked for details on a
possible RFN renaming. There are specific variables that need to be
filled in these cases: config_rfn and config_rfn_substitue.
The same RFN information is already stored in the fonts.json database.
Having the information stored in two locations is always problematic and
can easily lead to inconsistencies.
[how]
Remove information from config.cfg file and use data stored in
fonts.json instead.
Drop config.cfg files that are empty afterwards.
Also fix some patchedName in fonts.json en passant.

Some font previews in the gh-pages are obviously wrong (showing some
fallback font).
[how]
Recreate all image previes from current master branch.
To make this more easy:
- Add commented out code that displays command to install just the
needed fonts but all the needed fonts
- Add commented out code that displays the family names of the needed
fonts - these have to be in sync with the fonts.json database

We do not have a preview for the Symbols Only font.
The Symbols Only font appears two times (with 1000 and with 2048 EM).
[how]
Remove one of the occurences of NerdFontSymbolsOnly in the fonts.json.
The font matrix (for CI) still works, and we get only one entry in the
fonts list on the gh-pages.
Change the entry details accordingly.
Create special svg template that includes lots of symbols.
Change the destination filename to be imagePreviewFont instead of the
patchedName + "Nerd Font". The website (gh-pages) expects the former
file names.
