The dependencies of fonttools are much lighter than fontforge, and since all
we need are some metrics, fonttools is very much up to that task.
This addresses issue #288.
This separates auto-generated code from manually created code.
We need a more recent version of browserify to directly require JSON.
Note that the data was copied, not recreated, so it has not been changed.
This addresses issue #301.
Summary:
Upon switching over from ttf metrics to TeX metrics, we lost metrics for a
couple of the characters that are dynamically generated by TeX. Thus TeX doesn't
have metrics for them, but our fonts do have the characters because the MathJax
scripts also dynamically build them. This adds the ability to extract metrics
from the generated font files so that we can use the generated characters
correctly. A better solution would be to dynamically generate the characters
ourselves, but that is much harder, and will be left to a future time.
Test Plan:
- Make sure typing "\neq \cong \text{ }" produces no warnings in the console.
- Make sure huxley screenshots look the same

Summary:
Instead of using the metrics from our generated TTF files, use the fonts that
TeX ships with. Pull the mapping out of the MathJax-dev repo from makeFF to get
the correct mapping of metrics to font characters, and use our own tfm reader to
extract metrics out of the tfm files into a useable format. Add a README and
Makefile rule to make this process easier in the future.
Also remove the silly 0.05em we put on supsubs because our italic correction
works now.
Test Plan:
- Run huxley tests, see that changes are because of font metric changes.
- See that the extension piece of `\bigl |` now extends above the top, as it is
supposed to.
