Project Purpose
The original motivation and rationale for creating this project was to provide patched fonts for a separate Vim plugin project: VimDevIcons. The patched font was used in VimDevIcons to add glyphs (icons) as labels for files based on the filetype extension or entire path.
This project began as a part of the VimDevIcons Repository but soon it became apparent it did not belong tied to the Vim plugin. I thought it may benefit others more as a separate project and allow a wider range of uses. This project started before I knew about Fontconfig provided solution, although a patched font still has some benefits over the Fontconfig.
