Currently I don't know how it was >created. Been talking with noctalia developer Lemmy. They forked upstream https://github.com/tabler/tabler-icons/ to https://github.com/noctalia-dev/tabler-icons They modified some icons and added some more. The internal id of the font within the ttf was changed to "noctalia-tabler" in order to prevent clashes on systems that also had the upstream tabler font installed. The ttf file was built using pnpm. Sorry if this is vague or incomplete but I'm completely new to the world of fonts and it is difficult to convey information that I do not have a solid grasp of.
