Predictable system font names #104

Open na4zagin3 opened 4 years ago

na4zagin3 commented 4 years ago

Currently, Satyrographos uses the following heuristics for system font names:

Ignore the following font files as each file has several weights with the same PostScript name.
- /System/Library/Fonts/SFNSDisplay.ttf
- /System/Library/Fonts/SFNSText.ttf
- /System/Library/Fonts/SFNSTextItalic.ttf
If a font has nonempty PostScript name, uses it
Otherwise, basename of the font file.

It’d better to have more stable names something like these:

system:ps:<PostScript-name>
system:family:<family>:style:<style>:weight:<weight>

It’d better to implement the new scheme in Satyrographos_autogen module (#116).
