Is Repo aligned to Master? #6

Closed carloBarazzetta closed 2 years ago

carloBarazzetta commented 2 years ago

I'm downloading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign/master/meta.json definition with 6628 icons, but this font (cheatsheet.html) contains only 6624 icons: is not yet aligned with master repository? Thanks.

tl;dr: meta.json is a realtime sync while fonts only include icons associated with a release version.

The meta.json is near real time in the main repo with the database. All font generation requires a codepoint to be assigned to show up in the font (think of this an an index number represented as hex value). For a codepoint to be assigned it must be associated to a release tag in the database. Icon -> Version + Codepoint. This also lets us associate a version to when an icon was added to a release. Not all the contributors really do this step since it's not really required until the we cut a release.

You can use the @mdi/font-build package. It takes a folder of /svg a font-build.json file and a meta.json to make the fonts.
