FontAwesome: Reorder some glyphs #1596

Finii · 2024-04-08T10:36:54Z

Description

Hi, I detected that the glyph nf-fa-circle_thin at \uf1db () now is presented as a filled circle but before it was a thin ring. This exactly glyph is used in powerlevel10k to identify sr.ht git remote, I'm adding it to lazygit with the same purpose, that's how I found the problem.

Thanks for reporting!

I guess the reason is that FA comes now with 3 sets of icons and we select one of the sets for each codepoint (script remix), and the super smart algorithm is not clever enough ;-)

Let me quickly check them all (again)

code	observation	result
`F000`	not filled	This is from `solid`, there is no filled glass anymore
`F009`-`F00B`	look inverse	that is the new look
`F05C` - `F95D`	check-marks became arrows	Error: These should be from `regular`, where they are not the main codepoints
`F0E6`	talk bubble became plane	Error: Icon should have been taken from `regular`
`F10A` - `F10B`	now filled	Error: `F10A` -> `F3FA` and `F10B` -> `F3CD`
`F14D`	inverse?	is already from `solid`, there is no inverse
`F16A`	moved to `F167` on dropping one YT icon	Error: swap `F167` and `F16A`
`F172`	inverse bitbucket missing?	They dropped it, now there is the same icon twice in upstream
`F1CC`	inverse?	Thats the only jsfiddle they have
`F1DB`	now filled	Error: Take from `regular` instead
`F20C`	"mp" dropped?	dropped upstream
`F219`	not a diamond / gem anymore	Error: use `F3A5` from `regular`
`F230`	facebook square missing?	has been dropped
`F254`	filled hourglass now unfilled	there is no filled anymore
`F262`	what became of the old logo	tripadvisor dropped
`F27C`	"	upstream substituted that
`F289`	"	"
`F29E`	now inverse?	Thats the new audio description
`F2AC`	check all snapchat icons	dropped upstream
`F2B4`	now not filled	new font awesome logo already from `solid`
`F2D8`	inverse	upstream change
`F2D9` - `F2DA`	icon change?	upstream change

Action plan

F05C - F95D from regular
F0E6 from regular
F10A -> F3FA and F10B -> F3CD
swap F167 and F16A
F1DB from regular
F219 -> F3A5

[why] The open variants of circle_xmark and circle_check are missing. [how] Rename the filled versions to their old (i.e. FA 4.2) names (remove_sign and ok_sign) and let the open (regular) variants find their place automatically. Because we now have two more icons that would move all codepoints we can either drop the icons that occupied the circle_xmark and circle_check codepoints before, or we move the to the end (unpatched yet) region. As these are just some more arrows, we drop them. Dropped: F30B F05C solid/right-long.svg F30C F05D solid/up-long.svg New: F05C F05C regular/circle-xmark.svg F05D F05D regular/circle-check.svg Renamed: RENAME circle_xmark to remove_sign (F057) RENAME circle_check to ok_sign (F058) Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>

[why] When creating the renaming table the wrong number has been entered (twice the same). [how] Correct the renaming thereby making the renamed icon visible. The icon that has been 'kicked out' is moved to the end of the patched block. New: F0E6 F0E6 regular/comments.svg Moved: F374 EFC2 brands/avianex.svg (was previously on F0E6) Renamed: RENAME comments_o to comment_o (F0E5) Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>

youtube and cloudsmith should change their codepoints, because youtube occupies a 'lesser' youtube codepoint and yields a 'better' codepoint to cloudsmith. Better means the icon looks more like in FA 4. Also swap the devices icons that in 4 showed a screen and now it is filled. [how] The mechanics is a bit ... ugly.

[why] F1DB had an open circle, called circle-thin. That must now come from the regular set. Unfortunaly circle_o at F10C already is also the same regular set icon. And we try to prefer the solid set if a regular set has been used already. [how] Add one specific exception to the rule :-( Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>

[why] Previously we had icons with an open screen and a button, now it is filled. [how] Swap the icons with the open icons at completely different codepoints. Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>

[why] We do not want to break the Fira progress icons, but on the other hand these are so few icons that we can not keep the whole 0x0100 block unoccupied. So we just leave a small gap in the FontAwesome codepoints. [how] Be careful, the current code moves the icons 'to the back', which will be different if we ever update FontAwesome. The code will break (reassign a lot codepoints) then. Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>

[why] The glyphs can look a bit small(er) when used unscaled, for example in a Nerd Font Propo font. Note that some icons indeed got smaller, but in general the generated font is a bit smaller than before. Related: #1588 Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
