a false positive of spellcheck lead to a 'correction' in the code that
actually broke it. The mapfile does not accumulate the sequences but
fills it in and so just the last sequence 'survives'.
Dropping mapfile also enables this script on MacOS, as that ancient
bash does not have mapfile.

The code is hardcoded for 4 (hex-)digit codepoints. If we want to
examine 3 or 5 digit codes it breaks the formatting.
[how]
Switch from \u to \U to allow printing codepoints with more than 4
digits. This works on all machines I tested (Linux/Mac).
Manually pad the codepoint to get a consistent length independent of
actual number of digits. We can not use "%5x" because we want to
underline only the actual digits.
This also makes the output of empty slots nicer because the underline is
skipped if there is no code.

[why]
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.

[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

of that font) to have some hopefully representative example how symbols will

[why]
The config.cfg settings can be wrong if the to-be-patched font does not
set its own. The previous settings are never cleared, so that the flags
leak into the next font(s).
This is only relevant when the run is not parallel (i.e. no -j given) and
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

We want to keep "Nerd Font" in the font name if possible and instead
shorten the weight part with accepted abbreviations. But these abbrevs
are hard to read and sometimes a more mild abbreviating might be
sufficient to get the desired name length.
[how]
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
aggressive two-letter abbreviations are used.
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.
The new way to shorten is exposed all the way out to the font-patcher
user who can select the shortening method as parameter to the
--makegroups option. That option is undocumented because I expect some
changes later on, still.

[why]
Some name parts occur in several fonts but they take too much length
that we need to add 'Nerd Font' to the font name.
This can be handled as 'generic' SIL table parts, but the algorithm
stops searching for replacements one it has found one.
[how]
Always evaluate all rules of the SIL table.
Add entries for generics to the SIL table.
Add rule for BigBlueTerminal (437TT).
Also fix rule for MPlus that underwent a naming change with its update.

[why]
In a lot fonts when Oblique is moved to the base part of the name the
family gets too long. Since the base part is never shortened it will
stay there and make some fonts will end up with too ong bas families:
DejaVuSansMonoOblique
IosevkaTermOblique
OpenDyslexicOblique
ProggyCleanOblique
[how]
If the name is shortened, take the short form of oblique and add that to
the base name.

[why]
The name parts of a font are rather restricted in length. Most
systems/applications do not have any problems with long strings, but
some will complain or ignore such fonts.
At the moment each font needs to be checked individually manually after
patching for length violations, which is hard.
[how]
Issue a message if one name in longer than endorsed.

[why]
The outputs while patching are very ad-hoc and not grouped
systematically.
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.

[why]
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.
[how]
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.

[why]
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.
