for icon in icons:
    if 'aliases' in icon:
        for name in icon['aliases']:
            charmap[name] = icon['unicode']

with open('charmap.json', 'w') as file:
    json.dump(charmap, file, indent=4, sort_keys=True)
```

## Material Design Icons

To update _Material Design Icons 6.x_, you must:

- download ttf from <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign-Webfont/master/fonts/materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf>

The following script automatically download the last TTF font, generate the json charmap and display md5 hash of the TTF (to update \_\_init__.py)

```Python
import re
import json
import urllib.request
import hashlib

TTF_URL = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign-Webfont/master/fonts/materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf'
CSS_URL = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign-Webfont/master/css/materialdesignicons.css'

with open('materialdesignicons6-webfont.ttf', 'wb') as fp:
    req = urllib.request.urlopen(TTF_URL)
    if req.status != 200:
        raise Exception('Failed to download TTF')
    fp.write(req.read())
    req.close()

hasher = hashlib.md5()
with open('materialdesignicons6-webfont.ttf', 'rb') as f:
    content = f.read()
    hasher.update(content)

ttf_calculated_hash_code = hasher.hexdigest()
print('MD5 :', ttf_calculated_hash_code)

req = urllib.request.urlopen(CSS_URL)
if req.status != 200:
    raise Exception('Failed to download CSS Charmap')

rawcss = req.read().decode()
req.close()

charmap = {}
pattern = '^\.mdi-(.+)::before {\s*content: "(.+)";\s*}$'
data = re.findall(pattern, rawcss, re.MULTILINE)
for name, key in data:
    key = key.replace('\\F', '0xf').lower()
    key = key.replace('\\', '0x')
    name = name.lower()
    charmap[name] = key

with open('materialdesignicons6-webfont-charmap.json', 'w') as fp:
    json.dump(charmap, fp, indent=4, sort_keys=True)
