[why]
Maybe people would like to uninstall the fonts installed with the
script.
In fact the uninstall could already be acieved by giving the --clean
option and installing no new font. Well, apart from the fact that the
scripts prevents runs with no installed font. And then the user must
specify the same installpath that has been used for the install, which
is a bit tedious.
[how]
Add new command '--remove' (with no short option).
Make -L / --list option a dry-run option for --remove.
Uninstall both possible installpaths.

The script is not running with current (i.e. year 2022) release versions
of Inkscape.
The script does not warn if a font is not installed (and creates a
garbage preview instead).
[how]
Rewrite the script that is uses Inkscape actions instead of verbs. Verbs
are already removed in Inkscape HEAD.
Check if needed font is indeed installed.
Do not generate useless Symbols Only font preview (it needs a specific
different one, I suppose).
Disable `svgo`. Maybe we should generate PNGs instead?
Change path for created images, so that it is already correct for the

The script just creates the 'database' or the cheat sheet, but the
surrounding elements have to be added manually.
We do not like 'manually'.
[how]
Take the current cheat sheet code and rip top and bottom off, to glue it
to the generated 'database'.
Also change the filename like the final file would be named.
Well this is still not automated, but at least this is the first step in
that direction.

Codicons is completely missing...
[how]
After creating a stub file for Codicons, use _their_ definition file:

cat codicon.csv | tail -n +2 | sort -k 3 -t ',' | sed -E "s/([^,]*),([^,]*),(.*)/i='\2' i_cod_\1=\$i/" | tr '-' '_' >> i_cod.sh
Because they have new additional icons remove some lines in the bottom.
And add the final `unset i`.
I still have not figured out how the cheat sheet works and how we get
the data into that... There is a `generate-css.sh`. Hmm.

[why]
Sometimes the patched-in symbols are slightly too big, which shows up in
Nerd Font Mono fonts where the destination size is specified exactly.
That issues a warning like:
Warning: Scaled glyph U+F077 wider than one monospace width
[how]
For the scaleGlyph groups we need to combine the bounding boxes of
several symbol glyphs to determine the 'combined' scale we need.
Unfortunately when the concrete glyph is finally copied over its size
can change minimally.
So we need to measure the glyphs in the scaleGroup _after_ they have
been copied to the to-be-patched font. This is a bit complicated,
because we need to know some glyph slot we can use for that.

All error stream outputs of `font-patcher` are suppressed, because they
are very noisy and usually are ignored.
But when the patching fails for some reason we do not know why.
Especially if that happens during CI runs.
[how]
Instead of dropping the stderr we store it in an envvar; and output it
to stdout if patching failed.
`printf` is needed because `echo` is lousy with multiple lines.

Windows Compatible fonts have the same Family name, regardless if they
are "Nerd Font" or "Nerd Font Mono".
This creates problems for appliations that sort and select fonts by
Family name.
[how]
Just like "Nerd Font" is abbreviated as "NF" in the Windows Family names
(to keep it short because of the 31 character length limit), the
"Nerd Font Mono" are now called "NFM" instead of just (also) "NF".

[why]
Some symbol fonts might come with glyphs that have multiple codepoints.
When we want to patch them with `'Exact': true` (i.e. at their 'original'
codepoints) we want to patch them into the codepoint that has been used
in the selection process. That means between SymStart and SymEnd.
But this is not the case. We patch them in into their 'main' codepoint,
which can be outside the expected range of points.
This came up when patching with FontAwesome V6. It has for example these
glyphs:
Glyph 'music' has a main codepoint 0x1F3B5, but it is present in the
font also on codepoint 0xF001.
Glyph 'heard' has a main codepoint 0x1F9E1, but it is present in the
font also on codepoints 0x2665, 0x2764, 0xF004, 0xF08A, 0x1F499, ...
When doing a `'Exact': true` patch (i.e. exactEncoding = true) the
glyphs is patched into the target font at its (the glyph's) main
codepoint, regardless of our patch-codepoint-range.
[how]
We examine all codepoints that a glyph occupies in the symbol font. From
all these codepoints we take the nearest to the last glyph be patched
in. Nearest means from the possible codepoints the lowest that come
after the previous used codepoint.
For example the 'heard':
Last patched in codepoint was 0xF003.
Main codepoint: 0x1F9E1
Alternate codepoints: 0x2665, 0x2764, 0xF004, 0xF08A, 0x1F499, ...
-=> 0xF004
Later in the patching process we might encounter the same glyph again,
but this time the previous codepoint was 0xF089, so we need to take
0xF08A.

[why]
When one wants to use a custom symbol font and specifies it with an
absolute path, the glyphdir is still prepended.
That means that the argument to `--custom` is always used as relative
path (to `--glyphdir`), even when it starts with `/`. That is somehow
unexpected or at least inconvenient.
Example:
fontforge font-patcher --custom ~/Downloads/fa6.otf Inconsolata-Regular.otf
fa6.otf is searched for in ./src/glyphs/home/username/Downloads
[how]
Use Python function that handles joining path fragments. If a component is
an absolute path, all previous components are thrown away.

4a61afc83 font-patcher: Do not overwrite glyphs that are needed for basic glyphs

Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
[why]
Some glyphs that are tall and thin, are too big in the resulting patched
font, i.e. are higher than our 'line'.
At least for --mono fonts. The non-mono fonts do not rescale the
inserted glyphs at all, so there is no definition of 'too tall/wide'.
[how]
We want all glyphs to fit into the box defined by *_dim['height'] and
*_dim['widths'], as it also defines our powerline-glyph scaling and
horizontal and vertical advance widths.
So we need to take that value (instead of EM) for the scaling
calculation. The history of the use of EM here is a bit obscure, more
explanations in the PR.

Sometimes the basic glyphs ([a-zA-Z] etc) are constructed in the font
from other glyphs via references. To keep those basic glyphs intact we
must not touch the referenced glyphs.
[how]
Crate a list of all glyphs referenced by the basic glyphs.
When patching in some new symbol - if that codepoint is in the list do
not overwrite it. Overwriting would break a basic glyph.
The user does not get the glyph that we would have patched in, but that
can not be helped if we want to keep the basic glyphs intact and not
'redesign' the complete font.

When the fontforge python bindings are not installed we fail while
importing psMat. The message suggests that fontforge itself is not
installed - which is not the real reason. One can use the libfontforfge
with the python-fontforge without having the GUI program fontforge.
Furthermore we link to outdated installation instructions.
[how]
We already check and report correctly what needs to be done with the
fontforge module import. As both modules are often in the same package
we should probably report the same message. That message holds correct
hints for Debian/Ubuntu. It does not have a link to fontforge, though.

[why]
For some powerline symbols we add a certain amount of overlap into the
previous or next character to cover up a small gap between the symbols
that otherwise can show up as ugly thin (usually colored) line.
But after we carefully design that glyph with a bit overlap (over-sized
and having negative bearings) we remove all bearings. That breaks of
course the glyph and no actual overlap on the left side happens.
[how]
Just do not remove negative bearings on overlap-enabled glyphs. As they
are rescaled in both directions anyhow all bearings are wanted and must
be kept.

The params are half way handled as dict, but if unset it is an empty
string. That makes accessing it needlessly complicated.
[how]
With no functional change the params becomes now a dict, also when it
does not contain any particular information.
At the moment that seems not nessecary, as it can only contain one key:
'overlap'. We could also rename 'params' to 'overlap' and just store the
value.
But we keep the generic params dictionary as it might come in handy some
time in the far future when more parameters are added.

[why]
The commit
59c45ba4e Remove negative bearings on 2048-em glyphs
has been introduced to fix some problems with the symbols only font, at
least from the commit message.
That font is intended to be used in font-fallback situations, and so we
do not know the advance width of the current font anyhow. It does not
make sense to enforce an advance width with these.
[how]
Create the NerdFontsSymbolsOnly as if 59c45ba4e would be still in
effect, i.e. with variable advance width.
