[why]
There is really no reason to have two identical fonts that just have a
different EM.
The family name changed to the previous release from
"Symbols Nerd Font" to "Symbols2048Em Nerd Font"
[why]
As this is a ttf font we choose to keep 2048, and drop the 1000.
When we drop the number the family name is also correct again.
The family name is used by the fontconfig that people probably have
installed, so we should not change that familyname.

[why]
Of course it is nice to have blanks in the pathnames, because that means
the filename handling has to be very correct everywhere, quoting the
names and so on.
But it is also a nuisance. And it does not look too good on the command
line.
[how]
Like Meslo, JetBrains Mono, Noto, and Overpass we do not repeat the base
font name in the directory name. (Counterexample MPlus...)

[why]
When we run gotta-patch-em with -c the font files and the licenses will
end up in check-fonts/ and not in patched_fonts/.
Since gotta-patch-em calls standardize to add the readmes, the readmes
will always end up in patched_fonts/, even on check runs.
[how]
Add option to standardize, that transports the destrination tree root.

Since we do not have any other variations anymore it does not make sense
to keep that directory. The renaming with 3.0.0 is a good point in time
to drop it as the filename scheme changes anyhow.

The intend was to drop 'Sans Mono' in the renaming process, because the

The license of Bitstream Vera requires patched fonts to contain neither
"Bitstream" nor "Vera" in the name. It explicitly requires that also
for fonts that (only) add some glyphs.
Yes, we are rather late to notice this :-( Sorry.
[how]
Rename Bitstream Vera to BitstromWera, and also drop the Sans Mono part
of the name. The new name looks and sounds similar enough to get the
reference, while being shorter and somewhat logical.

A lot people (read: People on Windows) have the variable font (VF) version of
Cascadia Code installed - it comes bundled with Windows Terminal.
The static Cascadia Code instances that we use for patching are hinted
with ttfautohint which creates small sized glyphs that are visibly very
different. People compare the static Caskaydia Cove with the VF Cascadia
Code and are surprised.
[how]
First switch from the CFF outlines to TTF outlines - that is the
original version (i.e. otf -> ttf). It is unknown why we created patched
CFF fonts instead of the TTFs. To get as close as possible to the
intended look of the glyphs we should stick with the outline type.
Then we need to re-hint all the fonts, to get hints that are comparable
to the VF hints. We can not use the hints of the VF because the outlines
are different: The VF has (of course) overlapping outlines, while the
static ones (as usual) have not.
The re-hinting can be done with VTT or TTH - both showed results that
are more like the original VF font. The usual ttfautohint has been used
of the static fonts in the font release and can not be used. It is the
reason for this whole problem.
* Used VTT 6.35
* Open font file in VTT
* Import all programs
* Generate 'VTT talk' via Tools -> AutoHint -> LightLatinAutoHint
* Save font file as ...

The variation lists are very long and noone will ever look at them.
Instead we have a font-info.md file, for what reasons?
[how]
Replace the function the font-info.md file had with README.md.
Drop all the variation lists.
Automatically call the readme creation in the gotta-patch-em instead of
just hinting that one should call that (standardize-and-complete-readmes.sh).
[why]
The file is a mix auf indentation via two blanks and single tabs.
Tabs usually render as 8 positions.
Also it is strange to not-stick to one indent style.

When creating the readmes the config.cfg are checked for details on a
possible RFN renaming. There are specific variables that need to be
filled in these cases: config_rfn and config_rfn_substitue.
The same RFN information is already stored in the fonts.json database.
Having the information stored in two locations is always problematic and
can easily lead to inconsistencies.
[how]
Remove information from config.cfg file and use data stored in
fonts.json instead.
Drop config.cfg files that are empty afterwards.
Also fix some patchedName in fonts.json en passant.

[why]
A lot of fonts have a wrong RFN statement and name substitude in their
created info file, for example IBM3270:
```

+## Why `Anonymice Pro` and not `Anonymous Pro`?

+What's in a name? The reason for the name change is to comply with the SIL Ope
```
[how]
The rfn information is stored in the config.cfg files - i.e. variables.
They are reset if the next font does not have a config.cfg file; but
they are not reset if the next font DOES have a config.cfg file but does
not set anything.
Reset the values before reading the config.cfg file.

[why]
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.

This commit does the actual update of the octicons.ttf font file.
The script to update is 'generate'. It uses the mapping file from the

Some icons have meanwhile been dropped. We use their codepoints for new
icons.
Also fix a little bug in the GlyphInfo writer.

Keep our old codepoints constant, but add the new icons thereafter.
This commit just moves all the mechanics in and moves the (old) font.
No actual update here.

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
create a different family for the oblique slant.
But that is not needed if the font does not have an italic slant, but
just an oblique one (like Bitstream Vera and descendants).
[how]
Add new command line option for font-patcher that specifies if the
family of fonts should be patched under the assumption that there might
be an italic face (default), or if we are sure there is none (and we can
leave oblique in the RIBBI group).
This is then applied to the config.cfg files.
Note that this does not take into account any other of the known_slants.
But they are not encountered in any of our prepatched fonts.

Oblique is not detected correctly anymore.
[how]
With commit
ae656bad8 name-parser: Further formalize style handling
'Oblique' has been taken out of the direct 'known_names' which has been
replaced by a more detailed list of known name parts. It ended up in
known_slopes.
But known_sloped is not taken into consideration as 'weight' when parsing
the font name - no it ends up in 'rest'.
This has been obviously overlooked.

It's not nessecary to shorten the PSname so much when no shortening is
in place otherwise. This has been thought of as a good idea, because
noone really cares about the PSname and we can avoid any problems. But
checking with the current set of sourcefonts and using the current
shortening options, keeping it longer is never a problem.
It would be a problem for the Fullname ID4 before, and so we always
shorten more.
