===========
This is [my personal fork][1] of the wonderful [Tamsyn font by Scott Fial][2].
It is programatically forked from Tamsyn version 1.11 by the `Rakefile` script
(see the "Building" section below) which backports glyphs from older versions
while deleting deliberately empty glyphs (which are marked as unimplemented)
to allow secondary/fallback fonts to provide real glyphs at those codepoints.

The "TamzenForPowerline" fonts provide additional [Powerline symbols][5],
which are programatically injected with [ZyX_I's bitmap-font-patcher][6].
I later hand-tweaked those symbols to perfection in the gbdfed(1) editor:
The "TamzenForPowerline" fonts contain additional [Powerline symbols][5] that
I initially generated using [ZyX_I's bitmap-font-patcher][6] and then later
hand-tuned to perfection using the gbdfed(1) graphical bitmap font editor:
* For all icons, I expanded them to occupy the maximum available space.
* For the fork icon ( U+E0A0), I made the branch larger than the trunk.
