When the fonts distributed with texlive with same family name
as ours are also managed by fontconfig, Qt is not able to
discriminate ours by the style only. In order to be sure Qt
will load our fonts, we change the foundry name from 'PfEd'
to 'LyEd' and augment the font family name with this foundry
name. This only works on *nix, because adding a foundry name
seemingly breaks things on Windows. However, this is a *nix
only problem, seemingly.
Thanks to Enrico for doing the actual work (my fontforge omits the
TtInstrs...EndTTInstrs blocks for some reason I do not understand).
I did only check that the only difference between the old and new .ttf is the
changed position of the bracketleftbigg glyph. This does finally fix bug 6115.
After the str-metrics merge, the kludge for displaying symbols whose
code point corresponds to a soft-hyphen was not working anymore.
The solution is replicating the offending glyphs with index 0x00ad
at a different index. They were replicated at 0x00ac, whose glyph
was missing in all affected fonts.
However, this would not work by alone because, if a system font with
same family name exists, it would be picked up instead of the right one
(at least on non-Windows platforms). For this reason, the style of the
fonts has been changed from "Regular" to "Lyx", so that we can discriminate
the right font. However, this requires using at least Qt 4.8. If an
older Qt is used *and* a system font with same family name is already
available, the affected glyphs will all turn out on screen as the
"logical not" symbol.
I have also set the executable flag on the font files, because on Windows
they are loaded only in this case.
This solves #9229.
(please check if the Makefile entry is complete, I couldn't test this here)
