  Description     : Generate icon fonts from SVG icons

  Webfont converts sets of SVG files into an icon font, in any of the
  formats: woff2, woff, eot, ttf and svg.  These can then be used in a
  browser.  It has both a Node.js interface and a simple command-line
  interface (webfont).

This package is needed to build a DFSG version of the Material Design
Icons font (in the fonts-materialdesignicons-webfont package).

It will be maintained within the Debian Javascript Maintainers team,
with me taking the lead on it.

The package will includes a number of Javascript dependencies that are
not currently packaged; they will all be Provided by the package.
They are as follows:

* node-is-eot (= 1.0.0)
* node-is-svg (= 4.3.2)
* node-is-ttf (= 0.2.2)
* node-is-woff (= 1.0.3)
* node-is-woff2 (= 1.0.0)
* node-neatequal (= 1.0.0)
* node-svg-pathdata (= 6.0.3)
