[why]
When we have a weight/width that can take a modifier, and a modifier is
present we always take the shortest form of the weight/width.
This is not how it is customarily done.
Experienced:
ExtraCondensed ExtraBold -> ExtCd ExtBd
Expected:
ExtraCondensed ExtraBold -> ExtCond ExtBd
[how]
In case a modifier is present:
Use the shortest form for weights.
Use the longer short form for widths.
[note]
Also circumvent CodeClimate issue by replacing if-s with formulas.
And adding one nonsense entry to the data tables, because they were
too 'similar' :rolleyes:

[why]
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

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.

The outputs while patching are very ad-hoc and not grouped

Cognitive burden of shorten_style_name() is 13 (allowed 9).
Duplicate code

[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.

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.

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.

Let limit depend on PS name part (font name or family name).

Some styles can not take modifiers. We handle the shortening as if they
can. That is not a problem but mighht be unexpected.
Do detect weights we have a fixed list, but that is missing a lot
weights that we would be able to shorten.
The shortening does not work for 'Retina', which is imho a more recent
'invention' (after the paper of the previous commit has been written).
[how]
Separate known weights and make them accessible from other functions.
Use these data tables also for weight detection.
Introduce 'Retina' in the weights table.

[why]
We really struggle to keep the font names below the length limits. To
achieve this some styles are abbreviated. The abbreviations have been
taken from Noto and were initially used to mimic Noto's naming scheme.
But a bit shorter names would help in some instances to produce short
enough name entries. Also some styles that are used by fonts other than
Noto are not abbreviated at all.
[how]
In document [1] Adobe gives examples of very short style abbreviations.
We just implement all these.
Example: 'ExtraCondensed' now becomes 'XCn' instead of the more readable
but longer 'ExtCond' that Noto uses.

There are some more name entries that we should rename or remove.
None of the fonts in the src/unpatched-fonts/ has these set; but in

When we rename a font we should always also change the unique ID.

Take the fullname and the Nerd Font version number. In general we do not
have the version number in the NameParser object; but we have the
'Version' name and we loot the last word (which we have set to the Nerd
Font version already in the patcher) as version descriptor.

When testing 'Nerd Font' fonts (i.e. symbols may be 2 cells wide),
the output does not take that into account and does not insert
the needed blanks.
[how]
Because the actual width can not be easily determined add a
parameter (just add anything as parameter) to switch some glyphs
to two cell mode. These glyphs are in a list, i.e. hardcoded.
If the widths in non-Mono fonts is ever changed this script needs
to be adapted.

We have an automation for adding glyphs to the original set.
If someone throws in the svg file and adds the glyph to the icons.tsv a
new original-source font is generated.
But the added glyphs are not patched in, because that would need a
change at font-patcher (adjust the end codepoint).
This can be forgotten easily.
[how]
The maximum codepoint of our own (original + seti) set is 0xE6FF. At
0xE700 the Devicons start.
The original-source generation script now checks the offset, they may
not be negative and on the positive end we may not leave our set-range.
If that happens the script fails thus the workflow fails.
Also increate the patch range in font-patcher. If there are no icons to
patch in the symbol font the codepoints are just ignored.
