Merge all fonts into one #143

Thanks for this fantastic package!

For me, the only issue is it doesn't support terminal. So, is it possible to merge all fonts into one (e.g. all-the-icons.ttf)? Thus the terminal emulator should support the icons easily, and no need to install 5 fonts into the system, like nerd-fonts. The internal logics can be kept as before. I don't think it's necessary to patch existing fonts. We just need a standalone fonts for icons.

This isn't easy because some of the icons have glyphs that map to the same codepoints, do you have some ideas what icons should map to which code point in the merged font?

I think icons-in-terminal is a start or reference, though it's a little bit different.
