[why]
Some fonts have different and not consistent Family names set,
especially (only) if the `--makegroups` option has not been used for
patching.
Example:
$ fc-query --format='%{family}\n' patched-fonts/Hasklig/Black/complete/Hasklug\ Black\ Nerd\ Font\ Complete.otf
Hasklug Nerd Font,Hasklig Black
See also previous commit's message, bottom.
[how]
We want to use only one of the Family names (fc-query reports all as
csv, unless we specify an index), so query one by one.
Check that it is 'our' name (that contains "Nerd") and not a leftover
from uncomplete patching.
[note]
Also whitespace change: One tab to spaces.

[why]
The code takes the FamilyName out of the first patched font file and
puts that into the cask name field.
This has two problems:
After we joined Mono and non-Mono fonts into one cask the first font
might be a "Nerd Font Complete Mono" and we certainly do not want that
FamilyName in a cask that also contains the non-Mono variants.
We have some fonts with more than one Family, for example
CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font SemiLight
CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font Light
CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font
CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font ExtraLight
Taking the first encountered Family name is most certainly not want we
want.
[how]
Examine all patched fonts and collect their FamilyName and use the
shortest of them, as that usually is the base stem.
This still fails for somem fonts, like Hasklug
Hasklig Black
Hasklig ExtraLight
Hasklig Light
Hasklig Medium
Hasklig Semibold
Hasklug Nerd Font
But that font's FamilyName is broken anyhow, note that the RFN renaming
does not really work consistently. It would be fixed by using
`font-patcher` with option `--makegroups`, which should become the
default soon.
This will be tackled by the next commit.

[why]
We want to replace the existing casks. But they do not have a consistent
way to name the casks. Sometimes blanks are preserved (as dashes):
"unpatchedName": "DejaVu Sans Mono",
"patchedName": "DejaVuSansMono",
"caskName": "dejavu-sans-mono",
The above looks like cask-name == unpatched-name.
Here they introduce blanks out of thin air (the original name does not
have blanks):
"unpatchedName": "DaddyTimeMono",
"patchedName": "DaddyTimeMono",
"caskName": "daddy-time-mono",
Here they add something to the name??!:
"unpatchedName": "Gohu",
"patchedName": "Gohu",
"caskName": "gohufont",
Here the cask-name follows the RFN renaming:
"unpatchedName": "Hasklig",
"patchedName": "Hasklug",
"caskName": "hasklug",
Here they do not follow the RFN renaming:
"unpatchedName": "Liberation",
"patchedName": "LiterationMono",
"caskName": "liberation",
And there are a lot more ... strangenesses.
I guess the casks have been created by different people following
different ideas.
[how]
All these inconsistencies makes setting up rules how to determine the
cask name from the other names very complicated and brittle.
If we want to preserve the existing cask names the simplest and most
stable approach is to explicitely specify them in the fonts.json
database:
Introduce a new data field "caskName", like shown above.

The existing Casks _all_ contain both the Mono and non-Mono variants.

[why]
People might want to know how the original/unpatched font really is
called. This is done for most current casks.

stored nowhere else). Put it in the parens in the name field.
Update some `unpatchedName`s.

[why]
When the source font is proportional we can not really create a
monospaced (patched) font from it. The glyph width is for example very
small for 'i' but wide for 'W'.
The glyphs are all left aligned, leaving very strange separation between
smallish glyphs.
Even if we would center the glyphs, the look would be strange and
completely differenmt from the source font's look.
[how]
For proportional fonts do not allow to patch with `--mono`.
The fact if a source font is monospaced is determined by examining some
(very few) glyphs. But testing all our source fonts in the repo shows
that it is sufficient.
Furthermore the Panose flag is checked and differences between the flag
and what the glyph examination found are reported.
The user can enforce `Nerd Font Mono` generation with double specifying
the command line option `--mono --mono`. Still a warning will be issued.
[note]
Because `gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher!.sh` does not really count the
variations but calculates them in a separate loop it does not know
anymore how many variations are created per family. The numbers are
wrong.
But probably we should count the result font files in the end anyhow.
Because the information is not needed (in an automated manner) this is
not corrected here.
It seems wrong anyhow:
total_variation_count=$((total_variation_count+combination_count))
total_count=$((total_count+complete_variations_per_family+combination_count))

When the CI triggers a rebuild of the original-source and the font
contents is unchanged we do not want to commit the new version back to
the repo.
But because fontforge puts the creation date into the font file it will
always differ on every run, and we would needlessly create commits.
[how]
We could use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH approach and set the dates to the
relevant change (commit) times like so:
cd src/svgs
export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH="$(git log -1 --format=%ct -- *.svg)"
and only afterwards call the generator script / fontforge.
But that would need a complete git repo checkout and not just a shallow
one (which is faster and thus is used by github action/checkout).
Instead we can instruct fontforge to not put any timestamp into the
file. The timestamps are anyhow a fontforge proprietary extension.

[why]
Often the SVGs are rather detailed and result in a big
original-source.otf, which then again results in bigger than needed
patched fonts.
[how]
Typically people suggest using svgo to make SVGs smaller, but that just
tackles the representation of the icon, i.e. the actual svg file. That
does not help us at all. We do not need small svg files, we need simple
icons with few points and lines. svgo does not have that capability.
Instead Inkscape's 'Simplify' is used. Repeated use can destroy a glyph,
so we need a scale down margin to stop 'over-simplification'.
The values given for the margin at the moment are purely empirical, the
current glyphs survive repeated use of the new simplification script and
still look good.
The resultant original-source.otf file size is approximately similar to
the previously achieved by Ryan's manual work.

We need a newer Inkscape, thus update to Ubuntu 22.04

[why]
When we add a custom glyph (or want to update Seti) the process is
rather laborious and we are needed to change the font and the
accompanying `i_seti.sh` in sync.
[how]
We use a data file to map icon (svg) filenames to codepoints and
readable names.
That file is parsed and the font and info file is created (overwritten
in the repo); and could then be easily committed. This can be a CI
workflow.
Having a dedicated mapping file (`icons.tsv`) enables us to have stable
codepoints for the same symbol over time. Changes in codepoint
allocation can be checked in git.
Having the font autogenerated help guarantee that the icons are all
likely scaled. We rescale them all to the same size and mid-position.
That is not needed for font-patcher, because it rescales and shifts
again based on to-be-patched font metrics. But it certainly is better
for a view into the original-source font.
Sizes and position are still roughly equivalent to the hand positioned
glyphs.
