Converts QPC's mushaf v1 font files to SVGs (sample).

• The font files can be found in the mushaf folder
• Requires example2 from font_to_svg

Motivation

• SVG is a more accessible format, so improvements to the vectors can be easily made.
• Less buggy, less surprising behavior (the fonts sometimes break in browsers and under different corrects), less hacky.
• SVGs are (tentatively) more performant (e.g. Chrome freezes for a moment when rendering a ttf mushaf page)
• SVGs are a textual format. Text endures.

Drawbacks

• The font files contained positioning information (mostly how wide each glyph should be -- especially important for pause marks), which hasn't yet been extracted. Even after extracting, embedding might be more difficult. Especially since SVGs aren't good at flowing text.
• TTFs are smaller (initial tests indicate around 15%, after optimizing the SVG file and brotli'ing both). With some effort the SVGs can be made smaller however.

To Do

• Extract the positioning information so that the SVGs are usable. Approaches:
  • Convert the font files to ttx and derive the positioning from that
  • Use Advance in the comments to position the glyphs
  • Test other font->svg converters
  • Convert to PDF then to HTML to derive coordinates
• Break at ayah lines
• Replace ayah mark vectors with Unicode ayah marks
• Remove the small لا pause mark
• Compress with SVGO
• Improve the vectors (remastering)
