materialdesign-font-build's Issues

find way to not rename all .svg with the codepoints

Right now all the icons are renamed and prefixed with the codepoint. This is part of how the webfont package expects thing. We need to either rename them after generation/failure or better idea set these somewhere else (need to look at webfont docs).

build meta.json

How to configure the meta.json? Is there any script that will build the meta.json based on a list of icons for example from a text file. For my project need 100 icons and manually edit the source meta.json is problematic.

Process only svg files from meta.json

Hi, I wanted to reduce font only to my used icons, so I processed my applicaiton to find all occurence of mdi-* and then to filter out meta.json to only used icons and build my own font.
But there is some problem that all .svg files are compiled into font files
file index.js, line 314:
files: 'svg/.svg',
so i tried to use this
files: metaJson.map(icon => path.join(svgFolder, u${icon.codepoint}-${icon.name}.svg)),
and it works!

so please consider to change it to this behaviour to allow same scenario to others.
Thank you.

Fix path in sourcemap

Keeping the other issue open until we've resolved in the next release 4.5.xx.

Cannot use node 16 to install or execute 'npx @mdi/font-build'

It seems node-sass depends on node 14. When I install it with node 16, it will be failed.
