allow flexible width using fontforge engine

[mstorus]

Using the fontforge engine doesn't allow for icons to retain the width set in their respective SVG files. The width is currently either normalized to fit the width of the glyph or set to the font height

The node engine by default (through the use of svgicons2svgfont), uses a width derived from the width defined in the SVG file. https://github.com/nfroidure/svgicons2svgfont/blob/a38783a7271b8aec314811afd68791b84c8e95cf/src/index.js#L49 https://github.com/nfroidure/svgicons2svgfont/blob/a38783a7271b8aec314811afd68791b84c8e95cf/src/index.js#L91-L109

I think it would be nice to have the fontforge engine also allow individual widths derived from the widths defined in the SVG files.

Yep, it would be nice. Pull requests are welcome.

No news on this?

Also maybe this disadvantage of using fontforge engine should be documented in README?

@thybzi Same answer: pull requests are welcome ;-)
