Ship with a Segoe-Compatible Symbol Icon Font

[robloo]

This project came across my radar when looking at some WPF code. Great work!

I noticed the following: https://github.com/lepoco/wpfui#segoe-fluent-icons

WPF UI uses Fluent System Icons. Although this font was also created by Microsoft, it does not contain all the icons for Windows 11. If you need the missing icons, add Segoe Fluent Icons to your application.
According to the EULA of Segoe Fluent Icons we cannot ship a copy of it with this dll. Segoe Fluent Icons is installed by default on Windows 11, but if you want these icons in an application for Windows 10 and below, you must manually add the font to your application's resources.

I've released an MIT-licensed replacement symbol icon font that may be useful for this project. It has over 1000 glyphs in it already compatible with Segoe UI Symbol, Segoe MDL2 Assets and Segoe Fluent Icons Unicode points. It was constructed primarily with the Fluent UI System icons Microsoft releases along with a few other icons from open source libraries. The font itself is generated using FontForge and a compiled python script so it can be easily modified to add new glyphs.

The font can be found here: https://github.com/robloo/SymbolIconManager/blob/main/Fonts/WinSymbols3.ttf. You are welcome to use this font in this project and provide any feedback.
