[why]
The fonts where we are allowed to keep the font name despite the RFN
clause in the license have nothing mentioning of RFN or the exception in
the readmes. But it is recommended (required?) by SIL to inform users of
that exception in a most transparent way.
[how]
Add that bit of information to the readme files in the patched-fonts
directories and the release archives.
[note]
Also some other information seemed to be missing, by the complete
rebuild of the readme it also got updated (Gohu/ProFont).

[why]
Sometimes people like to call the scripts from any directory and do not
want to change into the bin/scripts/ directory first.
[how]
Just access the lib files relative to the cheatsheet script file.

[why]
Ordinary questionmark and inverted questionmark in upstream Gohufont 14
have the same glyph name, breaking the font.
[how]
Rename the inverted questionmark to the customary "inverted" via ttx.
This just prepares the change.

[why]
It is explicitely explained for updating fonts but not for new fonts.
[how]
Copy appropriate text passage to new fonts paragraph.

When the file specified to be patched is not a font file the patcher run
errors out with an out of index runtime error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/fini/extra/git/nerd-fonts/font-patcher", line 2155, in <module>

File "/home/fini/extra/git/nerd-fonts/font-patcher", line 2147, in main

File "/home/fini/extra/git/nerd-fonts/font-patcher", line 415, in generate
sourceFont = sourceFonts[0]
~~~~~~~~~~~^^^
IndexError: list index out of range
[how]
Do not assume that the specified file will be a font file but rather
check if fontforge detects a font in the file and error out if there is
no font found.

[why]
When we crate the hard-monospaced Nerd Font Mono variant the ligs will
be shrunk to 1 cell wide, while the content of the `fi` lig is of course
two cells, ending up in strange overwriting issues.
[how]
Remove the `fl` and `fi` ligatures completely.

With Terminess the regex needs to match literal parens, this has been
misunderstood with the last commit.
[how]
Revert the previous commit for Terminess, and use a raw string as
solution instead (because we usually use raw strings for regexes).
Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
[why]
Some strings have broken format, because the string should contain a
verbatim backslash.
It seems this is a new warning for Python 3.12
[how]
Use raw strings or escape the escape character via '\\'

Often PRs introduce the legacy .../Bold/ etc subdirectory structure.
[how]
Make more clear that a flat directory is preferred.
Also fix several small glitches in the text.

Improve legibility by having gaps between the gemstone surfaces.
[how]
There is no official monochrome icon. Found one free pixel one and
converted that to outline.
Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
[why]
Improve legibility. The full icon is in fact a multicolor icon and the
design depends on being rendered in multiple different colors. That is
impossible for fonts. So we should probably use their flat (mono-color)
icon instead, which hints the different 'flaps' through gaps instead of
colors.
[note]
Both icons (the old and the new) contradict rules given by Firebase to
use the logo. But that can not be helped in a icon font, as we just have
one color of undetermined hue.

[why]
The Bazel icon might look nicer with gaps between the surfaces of the
cubes.
That is halfway in-line with the design idea of their logo.
See PR #1610 and link
https://blog.bazel.build/2017/07/05/new-logo-and-homepage.html
[how]
Based on the idea from Ezekiel Warren the Bazel icon gets gaps between
the surfaces of the cubes.
For this we use the skeleton svg icon of the Bazel website and construct
from scratch a new outline to represent the cube surfaces. The original
svg used lines with a width to create the image, which is not compatible
to fonts.
