Lots of self-intersecting paths

Many glyphs are incorrectly formulated, will need to check:

Thanks for looking :green_heart:

I'm working on some related stuff in NF, this is why I found it, and this can then be automagically fixed... Maybe ;-)

Edit: Correct numbers down in most places (forgot to unref Refs)

[hasecilu]

Hope the magic works there! In theory that could cause rendering problems but if there are no people complaining we can expect there aren't that many problems in the wild, or not?

[Finii]

Some bugs in glyphs are never noticed or only after a long time. I remember one, was that GO, that had all the paths in the same direction thus the icon was all black just showing the outline. Correcting the directions 'opened' to icon up.

And some other glyph, I believe this Rust mascot, showed differently depending on font renderer with white or black 'face'.

Here is this mascot issue:

• https://github.com/lukas-w/font-logos/issues/86

and this is another overview ;-D

[hasecilu]

The fixes are addressed in the fonts right? So would still be needed to address them on the svgs?
