Subject: check-variable-fonts.py: add a helper to display instructions
X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc1~184^2~60^2~29
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=92ea342ff6f318573641c76f89600e4d5fb2c7cd;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

check-variable-fonts.py: add a helper to display instructions

Use lib docstring to output the comments via --help/-h. With
that, update the default instructions to recomment it instead
of asking the user to read the source code.
