Problem Description

I would like to request the addition of the Readex Pro (and Mono Italic) to the project. It is an OFL 1.1 font so I believe it should be "safe" as far as licensing goes.

https://github.com/ThomasJockin/readexpro
(that is the entire official font project which includes other non-Monospaced versions; the Mono font is also available through Google Fonts although I can't find a github link to their fork/copy)

Desired Solution

Inclusion of a nice latin and arabic font in the great nerd-fonts repo :)

Alternatives Considered

I have run the script to create my own versions of the font, however, I was somewhat confused as their default download is a "variable-weight" font which seems to make the script choke very hard (it segfaulted python3 on my Mac!)

Once I realized I needed to run the script against each font weight & standard/italic separately, then things seemed to work OK (although I haven't checked yet to see if there are any alignment or spacing problems). I used the -c flag, and nothing else...
