# Rebuilds iris/core/assets/fonts/nerd_icons.ttf.
#
# iris draws its icons as glyphs in a Nerd Fonts subset it ships, rather
# than as ordinary Unicode out of whatever the platform resolved. Unicode's
# own geometric shapes are what this replaced: `tool.rs` set its disclosure
# mark with U+25B8/25BE/25B4, and once iris stopped bundling fonts
# (2026-09-07) Iris's phone drew an empty box for them and this VM drew a
# dot. UI_RULES: "don't rely on characters the platform might not have --
# ship the glyph or the asset rather than hoping."
#
# The whole symbols font is 3 MB for the handful below, so what is
# committed is a subset. Add a codepoint to GLYPHS *and* to
# `iris/core/src/icon.rs` (the two lists have to agree -- a codepoint in
# the Rust that this script did not subset is a glyph that silently isn't
# there), then run this and commit the result.
#
# Needs python3 and network access; fontTools is fetched into a temporary
# venv, so nothing has to be installed on the machine.
#
# The same arrangement as the Compose app's `app/build-icon-font.sh`, which
# this is copied from -- including the Mono face and the Material Design
# family, so an icon means the same thing in both apps. Copied rather than
# shared because most of it is the GLYPHS list, which has to differ: the
# point of subsetting is to ship only the codepoints one app draws.
