invalid escape sequence warnings when running font-patcher script

Experienced behavior:
I was performing a dry run of font-patcher to make sure it wouldn't return any errors, etc. When I run the following command, I get the following output:

❯ fontforge -script ~/Downloads/Nerd\ Fonts\ Patcher/font-patcher ~/patched_fonts/mononoki-nerd-fontv2/mononoki-Regular.otf --complete --dry --outputdir ~/patched_fonts/mononoki-nerd-font-v2/1.0.0/

Expected behavior:
As a test, I corrected those 3 issues, and they didn't print when I ran the --dry run again. Maybe the font-patcher script needs some minor updates?

Thanks for being observative and taking the time to report the issue 💚

This has already been fixed via cb0c9ed in in-parens-version 4.14.3 (you use 4.13.1).

I am getting the same issue when I use the latest stable 3.2.1 release. If the issue has been fixed in the git repo, could you please release a new stable release with this fix?

+1 I just tripped over this too. @Finii Mind cutting a release for v3.3.0?

My workaround is to manually clone the repo instead to get the commit you linked above (cb0c9ed). Unfortunately this takes much longer than it took to download the FontPatcher.zip (2.3mb) from the v3.2.1 release — looks like my shallow git clone needs to download ~1.2gb of data from github.

$ git clone --depth 1 --branch v3.3.0 [email protected]:ryanoasis/nerd-fonts.git

Hmm, how do you get the 'old' patcher script?
Cloning the repo is not recommended, use the FontPatcher.zip or the Docker image.

The FontPatcher.zip contains all stuff you need, except fontforge itself.
There is the release one on the release page, but also a HEAD one in-repo that you can use.

The Docker is also on HEAD.

Mind cutting a release for v3.3.0?
