Nerd Fonts 3.0.0 / 3.0.1 / 3.0.2 Release

[Finii]

This is just a stub, more will come later today.

[Finii]

Some Todo

• Probably fill always ID16/17 as per Apple spec (I seems to work without, but does not hurt either) [1] ⛔
• Finalize naming (and look at Book)
• Unify normal and Windows-Compat fonts if possible (utilize shortening table?)
• Material Design Icons scaling (New material design icon block icons are much smaller and thus less readable. #1061)
• ...

---

[1a] Can not find that, according to https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6name.html it should not be filled? Which Apple doc was it?
