OSError: Open failed
I didn't download the entire git since it's too big. What I did is run mkdir -p src/glyphs/font-awesome and downloaded the otfs from fontawesome website and put three of them(when you download and extract zip you get three otfs) in src/glyphs/font-awesome directory. The src directory is relative to font-patcher(both are in the same directory).
Expected behavior:
This shouldn't give not found error cause everything is fine to me.
