Bake the official OpenTimestamps stamp logo (traced from opentimestamps/logo vector.svg; monochrome outline, tinted at render time like every other glyph) into the Material Symbols subset font at U+F8F0. New tools/material-symbols-subset/add_custom_glyphs.py converts the traced SVGs in custom/ into TrueType glyphs and is invoked by subset.sh after pyftsubset, so font regenerations keep them. With the logo identifying the pill, drop the verbose "OTS:" prefix: the pill now reads icon + "2y" (or icon + "Pending", new R.string.pending).

# Material Symbols Subset
|
|
|
|
The font shipped at
|
|
`commons/src/commonMain/composeResources/font/material_symbols_outlined.ttf`
|
|
is a **subset** of Google's [Material Symbols
|
|
Outlined](https://github.com/google/material-design-icons) variable font,
|
|
trimmed to only the codepoints referenced from
|
|
`commons/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/commons/icons/symbols/MaterialSymbols.kt`.
|
|
|
|
| | Full upstream | Subset |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Size | ~11 MB | ~410 KB |
|
|
| Glyphs | ~3500 | ~210 |
|
|
|
|
The subset cuts >10 MB out of every commons build artifact, every Android APK,
|
|
and every Desktop app bundle.
|
|
|
|
## When to regenerate
|
|
|
|
Run `subset.sh` whenever you:
|
|
|
|
- add or remove a `MaterialSymbol("\uXXXX")` entry in `MaterialSymbols.kt`
|
|
- pin a newer upstream font version
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install fonttools brotli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Regenerating
|
|
|
|
From the repo root:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./tools/material-symbols-subset/subset.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That downloads the upstream variable font, intersects its codepoints with the
|
|
ones referenced from `MaterialSymbols.kt`, and overwrites the checked-in
|
|
`material_symbols_outlined.ttf`.
|
|
|
|
If you already have an upstream `.ttf` on disk:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./tools/material-symbols-subset/subset.sh /path/to/MaterialSymbolsOutlined-Regular.ttf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Commit the regenerated `.ttf` alongside the `MaterialSymbols.kt` change.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
`pyftsubset` (from `fonttools`) reads the codepoints we care about, drops every
|
|
glyph and OpenType feature not reachable from those codepoints, and rewrites
|
|
`name`, `cmap`, and `GSUB` tables accordingly. The Compose resource pipeline
|
|
treats the result as a normal TTF — no code changes needed.
|
|
|
|
## Custom glyphs
|
|
|
|
`custom/` holds traced SVG outlines for icons the upstream font will never
|
|
carry (third-party logos — currently the OpenTimestamps stamp).
|
|
`add_custom_glyphs.py` bakes them into the subset TTF at end-of-PUA
|
|
codepoints (U+F8F0 and up); `subset.sh` runs it automatically after
|
|
`pyftsubset`, so regenerating the subset keeps them. To add one: trace the
|
|
logo to a single-color SVG (potrace output works as-is), drop it in
|
|
`custom/`, register it in the `CUSTOM` map in `add_custom_glyphs.py`, add the
|
|
matching `MaterialSymbol("\uF8Fx")` to `MaterialSymbols.kt`, and rerun
|
|
`subset.sh` (or `add_custom_glyphs.py <ttf>` to patch the existing font).
