## About

Got inspired by [egui_phosphor](https://github.com/amPerl/egui-phosphor), code uses the same structure.

The .ttf used is [this one](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.0.2/NerdFontsSymbolsOnly.zip), and the `src/variants/regular.rs` was generated with the following python script, with the `nerdfonts_regular.ttf` as first argument:

```python
from itertools import chain
from fontTools.ttLib import TTFont
from fontTools.unicode import Unicode
import sys

with TTFont(
    sys.argv[1], 0, allowVID=0, ignoreDecompileErrors=True, fontNumber=-1
) as ttf:
    chars = chain.from_iterable(
        [y + (Unicode[y[0]],) for y in x.cmap.items()] for x in ttf["cmap"].tables
    )
    for char in chars:
        symbol_name = char[1].upper().replace('-', '_').replace(' ', '_').replace('#', '_').replace('!', '')
        code = r"\u" + "{" + f"{char[0]:X}" + "}"
        print(f"pub const {symbol_name}: &str = \"{code}\";")
```
