I guess the empty That does not make much sense either ;-) Whatever. *: Well, it does not need it anymore with the PR, if no glyph is existing the EM is used |

[why] The symbol only fonts Symbols-1000-em Nerd Font Complete.ttf and 2048-em in `NerdFontsSymbolsOnly/` are generated from some 'almost' empty source fonts, that are assumable in turn generated from the sfd font descriptions in `src/glyphs/`? The process is not documented and we have issues in the generated font (for example the glyph for capital `E` is defined (and empty) #581 #765). [how] Use the existing font definitions from `src/glyphs/*.sfd` directly as source font. That needs a change in font-patcher because the empty fonts have no glyphs that can be used to orient the scaling upon. In that case scale on the source font definitions EM. Then we need patch-em-all to also patch *.sfd fonts. And finally we need patch-em-all to take a font specific command line switch for font-patcher (compare 9e2bc9a of #723) to instruct it to create a ttf rather than a sfd font file. In the sfd file we additionally set the Panose type. And the UnderlinePosition is adjusted to match the current patched font. [note] Also fix wrong glob pattern in patch-em-all `*.[o,t]tf`. The comma is for sure some leftover from a '{}' shell pattern, that is not used anymore. (This comment is probably outdated, due to rebasing.) Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
[why] Not sure why they are here, all patched fonts reside now in the `patched-fonts/` folder. So we have two times two different symbols only font sets? Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>

Rebase on master, resolve conflicts by changing to |
[why] The detection if all fonts of a given directory are to be processed is broken if the font files contain blanks (like 'Symbols-1000-em Nerd Font Complete Mono Windows Compatible.ttf') [how] Need to put name argument in quotes... Also fix counting for sfd files (but we never generate them anyhow) Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>

Description
[why]
The symbol only fonts
Symbols-1000-em Nerd Font Complete.ttfand
2048-eminNerdFontsSymbolsOnly/are generated fromsome 'almost' empty source fonts, that are assumable in turn generated
from the sfd font descriptions in
src/glyphs/?The process is not documented and we have issues in the generated font
(for example the glyph for capital
Eis defined (and empty) #581 #765).[how]
Use the existing font definitions from
src/glyphs/*.sfddirectly assource font. That needs a change in
font-patcherbecause the emptyfonts have no glyphs that can be used to orient the scaling upon. In
that case scale on the source font definitions EM.
Then we need patch-em-all to also patch
*.sfdfonts.And finally we need
patch-em-allto take a font specific command lineswitch for
font-patcher(compare 9e2bc9a of #723) to instruct it tocreate a
ttfrather than asfdfront file.In the sfd file we additionally set the Panose type.
And the UnderlinePosition is adjusted to match the current patched font.
[note]
Also fix wrong glob pattern in patch-em-all
*.[o,t]tf. The comma isfor sure some leftover from a '{}' shell pattern, that is not used
anymore.
