Convert icons to a TrueType font

[leingang]

Should make for cleaner importing.

The icons come from flaticon, which allows exporting as a TTF file.

• Keep TTFs in repo
• Install font in the right place
• LaTeX package to provide commands (wraps around \symbol command?)

Concept is proved. Here is a minimal working example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\newfontface\pixelmeetup{flaticon_pixelmeetup.ttf}
%\newcommand{\mdiicon}[1]{%
%  {\MDI\symbol{\numexpr"#1\ifluatex-14\fi}}%
%}

\newcommand{\pixelmeetupicon}[1]{
   {\pixelmeetup\symbol{"#1}}%
}

\begin{document}

Look at this character \Huge\pixelmeetupicon{F101}!

\begin{table}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
       \pixelmeetupicon{F100}
     & \pixelmeetupicon{F101}
     & \pixelmeetupicon{F102}
     & \pixelmeetupicon{F103}
     & \pixelmeetupicon{F104}
     \\
       \pixelmeetupicon{F105}
     & \pixelmeetupicon{F106}
     & \pixelmeetupicon{F107}
     & \pixelmeetupicon{F108}
     & \pixelmeetupicon{F109}
     \\
       \pixelmeetupicon{F110}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

\end{document}

• It would be nice to have the table automatically generated.
• Can command names be generated from the glyph names? Something like fontawesome5 does?

This is fixed in the Fall 2023 fork.
