New icons to include: Mfizz

[nogweii]

🎯 Subject: font-mfizz

Font Mfizz seems to have some higher quality vectors for particular icons, and covers some other ones not yet covered by the current set.

@evaryont Thanks for the suggestion. At first I thought this was a font but it's actually a font glyph set.

Quite a few of these we already have but definitely some unique ones here! Given that Nerd Fonts currently does not care about duplicate glyphs (it just aggregates the sets) I don't think that would prevent us from adding the whole set.

Ah, they do convert the vectors into a webfont. I don't see a specific mapping of vector to Private Use code, so it's possible that the codes could change in the future.

Perhaps it'd be better to have our own mapping for stability? But then there isn't a pipeline for this yet, so it'd be quite some work. Hm.

Yeah we can use the ttf font. This should be fairly straight forward to include. The thing that will take time is repatching all of the fonts 😉

Looks like the mfizz are mapped to f100 through f188. However that range conflicts with some other Nerd Font glyph set so we just have to offset the range. 😄

As with #615 (thanks for the link):

The file-icons project might be an even better replacement. It looks to have unified styling and optimized SVG's across the old devicons, MFizz icons, and many new file-icons icons.

These can also replace most of the existing nf-custom icons, except the folder ones, I guess.

As an aside, the file-icons sets would probably make Symbols Nerd Font able to fully replace the fonts used in the most popular Emacs icon package, which would be a big help:

The fonts provided with this packages are locked down to a version for unicode character mapping values. In the future, these may be automatically generated.

Closing because transferred to #1095
