The font patcher now takes the style ("Italic", "Regular", etc) from the filename if it's longer (contains more information) than the "subfamily".
Description
Updates the font patcher's algorithm for detecting the style (Italic, Regular, etc) in the font's Postscript name, so that it's more accurate.
When I first tested this with IBM Plex Mono 5.3.1, I could confirm that it fixes fixes #257 by successfully giving each generated font a unique Postscript name.
I have since tested it with VictorMono and JetBrainsMono. I have also imported all three into Font Book on OS X, and confirmed that this pull request does, indeed, resolve the issue.
Requirements / Checklist
./font-patcher Inconsolata.otf --fontawesome --octicons --pomicons

What does this Pull Request (PR) do?
Fixes #257.
How should this be manually tested?
The literal command I used to test this is in my comment here:
#323 (comment)
After that, I did "fc-cache -f -v" and "kitty list-fonts --psnames", checking that each Blex Mono font file's Postscript name is unique.
Any background context you can provide?
I tested the font patcher on Fedora 32. I tested the results on Fedora 32 and on OS X.
What are the relevant tickets (if any)?
#257
