""" This file extracts the patch sets from the nerd fonts font patcher file in order to extract scaling rules and attributes for different codepoint ranges which it then codegens in to a Zig file with a function that switches over codepoints and returns the attributes and scaling rules. This does include an `eval` call! This is spooky, but we trust the nerd fonts code to be safe and not malicious or anything. This script requires Python 3.12 or greater, requires that the `fontTools` python module is installed, and requires that the path to a copy of the SymbolsNerdFont (not Mono!) font is passed as the first argument to it.
