Font naming

With this release the naming scheme of some fonts changed. The first was Caskaydia Cove already in v2.2.0. Here follow Iosevka, JetBrains Mono and mononoki. If you use one of these fonts the names will have changed slightly (the words within the name change places). This is inconvenient but the previous naming scheme created may problems (and contradicted itself).

Note that with v3.0.0 all fonts will get this new naming scheme together with some other naming improvements.

Material Design Icons

With this release the Material Design Icons are updated. Note that the old codepoints are deprecated now and new codepoints are used.
The old codepoints are still available (and not updated) to make the transition as smooth as possible for users of the MDIs.

Please change your setup to use the new codepoints!

The old codepoints will be dropped with v3.0.0 because they are wrong/forbidden and cause a lot of problems for people that use non-latin letters. The old codepoints are F500 - FD46. The new codepoints are F0001 - F1AF0. The cheat sheet can be used to find the new codepoints.

If you are interested in the reasons, #365 is the main thread.

The Name Issue

Some of the fonts have an unintended (and unexpected) name.
These are the Nerd Font Mono Windows Compatible versions of

• Iosevka
• Cascadia Code
• JetBrains Mono
• mononoki

These few fonts will be corrected and patched into this release without issuing a re-release.
I hope we are quick enough to not suffer problems from this move, as there are potentially two different font files with the same version in circulation. But chances are that very few people updated and no major packager issued updated packages yet.
