Developer Workflow? #87

Open BlueFalconHD opened 1 year ago

BlueFalconHD commented 1 year ago

I would love to help with this, as I use this font daily. My problem is not knowing where to start. What do you recommend to edit the font. I have Asesprite, the pixel editor, and FontForge, the font editor, installed. Is there any way to open them in Asesprite? I am really curious about your workflow, and how I can help with this project.

I don't think Aseprite is going to be of use here. I just edit the font within FontForge.

Thanks. How do you recommend finding a list of all, for example, nf-weather icons? I am using the Nerd Font cheat sheet, but it is a little slow and tedious.

Nerd fonts categories tend to be laid out in contiguous ranges. If you have a nerd font installed, FontForge should show the nerdfonts characters as a preview above the character boxes. Other than that, I'm afraid it comes down to looking up a character in the cheat sheet and "Go To -> U+F...."ing within FontForge.

Hmm.. For some reason only crossed boxes are showing for most Nerd Font characters.
