[why]
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'Oblique' has been taken out of the direct 'known_names' which has been
replaced by a more detailed list of known name parts.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.

[why]
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.

[why]
Most fonts can run with the full naming (--makegroups 1).
But for some (especially with full fledged subfamilies) the names become
too long. Here we need to select more shortening.
[how]
This can be either done/stored in the font-patcher script, but if you
need shortening (and which) still depends on what set of fonts you want
to patch.
So instead we make it a config.cfg option of the unpatched-fonts.

The shortened name is not as expected "BigBlueTerminal437 Nerd Font"
but some obscure "c7 Nerd Font".

The backreference marker `\1` is directly in front of the string `437`
which yields the replacement `\1437`. Python is not smart enough to
correctly handle that (but 'sed' for example is).
Instead use a named backreference which does not clash with the
following digits.

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.

The old naming is the reason for a lot problems. It creates a lot of

After introducing --makegroups we now enable it for all fonts.
Remove special cases from config.cfg files.
Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
[why]
The option --makegroups shortens the name suffix and the styles
rigorously. That is needed for fonts with long names and/or long style
descriptions.
But some simple font would not need that. With the option we can adjust
the amount of shortening to fit the specific font (family).
Unfortunately we can not automatically detect that, because the
font-patcher script can not assume anything about a complete family as
every font file is patched individually.
[how]
Add optional numeric parameter to option '--makegroups'.
The values can be:
0 - turned off, use old naming scheme
1 - turned on, shortening 'Bold' to 'Bd'
2 - turned on, shortening 'Nerd Font' to 'NF'
3 - turned on, shortening 'Nerd Font' to 'NF' and 'Bold' to 'Bd'
4 - turned on, no shortening
If --makegroups is not specified this is the same as '--makegroups 0'.
If --makegroups is specified without number that means '--makegroups 3'.
[note]
The argparser module takes the last specified parameter as the one to
use: If you specify --makegroups multiple times only the last one will
be used.
This can be used for gotta-patch-em-all. Per default it (will) specify
--makegroups 3. But via config.cfg we can specify a font centric other
number for individual fonts. The config.cfg values are added later in
the command line, so they take precedence.

[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.

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.

[why]
The filenames of the patched fonts are rather ... unique:
- they contain blanks to separate name parts
- they do not separate name and style/weight
This is in part due to history reasons, because the names were not
parsed at all and just some suffix added.
Example (contrived):
Victor Mono Nerd Font Propo Bold.ttf
Normally font file names would be:
VictorMonoNerdFontPropo-Bold.ttf
We ourselves relied in part on that naming scheme, but do not follow it.
There are a lot powerline fonts out there that all add blanks to the
filename.
Some filename recommendation can be found in [1].
[how]
The filename is now always constructed directly from name ID 16
and name ID 17. If one of them is empty ID 1 and ID 2 are used as
fallback, as customary.
ID 16 (ID 1) and ID 17 (ID 2) are separated by a hyphen.
The result is that in can differ from the fontname (ID 6) and uses
always the longest most readable name parts.

Nowadays the Complete font is the normal font. We already dropped the
partially patched fonts long ago. If someone is self patching they will
know if it is a basic font or a complete font.
And already now one can not see if the patched font is bare minimum
(i.e. Seti, Custom, and Devi) or includes Powerline and/or
PowerlineExtra.
[how]
Just drop "Complete" from the naming.
[note]
As the name changes and thus the file name a lot of the other scripts
will break. But they might break anyhow because other naming changes, so
fix that as last commit.
