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

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]
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.
Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
[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.

Lets start with few and we can always add more if there is really a

The Material Design Icons moved codepoints around the Nerd Fonts v3

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

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 readmes in the zip and tar.xz archives differ. The zips have only a
very small and generic `readme.md`. The tar.xz have that readme as well as
the `README.md` from the patched-fonts/ directory. This should be the same
for both.
To have two files with names that just differ in case (`readme.md` and
`README.md`) can be problematic on some platforms.
[how]
Combine both readmes into one file - put the generic info in the top of
the readme.
Also include the RELEASE_VERSION if known into the readme. That makes it
more easy to identify which Nerd Font release that archive came from.
RELEASE_VERSION is set in the release workflow.

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.

IBM Plex uses some abbreviations also in the fullname and we do not try

As this is the only font that has such specials we handle it beforehand

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:

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.
