1 2015-06-28 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
4 * Makefiles: updated version to 8.0.01; fonts now Copyright 2015.
6 - No longer create BDF or PCF fonts from glyphs above Plane 0.
8 - Tibetan: Modified "nga" glyphs (U+0F44 and U+0F94) so they would not
9 resemble "da" (U+0F51 and U+0FA1, respectively) as closely.
10 - Made U+202F a single-width space glyph rather than nonprinting;
11 its entry was moved from nonprinting.hex to spaces.hex.
12 - Modified U+2FF* and moved block from wqy.hex to unifont-base.hex;
13 U+2FF7 was incorrect, and others in the range weren't symmetrical.
14 * font/plane00/bmp-combining.hex: 4 new combining characters from
15 above scripts added and 19 combining characters from New Tai Lue
17 * font/plane00/unassigned.hex: newly assigned code points removed
18 from list of unassigned code points.
19 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
20 - Paul Hardy added changes to these scripts for Unicode 8.0:
21 Arabic Extended-A, Gujarati, Telugu, Malayalam, Cherokee,
22 New Tai Lue (all combining characters are no longer combining),
23 Currency Symbols, Number Forms, Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows,
24 Cyrillic Extended-B, Latin Extended-D, Devanagari Extended,
25 Latin Extended-E, Cherokee Supplement (new in Unicode 8.0.0),
26 and Combining Half Marks.
27 * font/plane00/wqy.hex:
28 - Umbreon126 drew U+9FCD..U+9FD5, new in Unicode 8.0.
29 - Moved U+2FF* to unifont-base.hex following modification; see above.
30 * font/plane01/noscript-ranges.txt: updated to remove scripts that are
31 new in Uniocde 8.0.0. "noscript-hex.txt" is generated from this.
32 * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
33 - Paul Hardy added the scripts Linear A, Palmyrene, Nabataean, Hatran,
34 Meroitic Cursive, Manichaean, Old Hungarian, Mahajani, Sharada,
35 Sinhala Archaic Numbers.
36 - Paul Hardy added the new Unicode 8.0 glyphs in Siddham,
37 Musical Symbols, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, Emoticons,
38 and Transport and Map Symbols.
39 - Umbreon126 drew most of the Blackletter (Fraktur) in the
40 Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block. Currently the regular and
41 bold versions of those glyphs are identical, from limitations of
42 Unifont's bitmap format.
43 * font/plane01/plane01-combining.txt: added code points that are new
44 combining characters in Unicode 8.0.0.
45 * font/plane01/plane01-nonprinting.hex: updated with new nonprinting
46 code points that are new in Unicode 8.0.0.
47 * font/plane01/noscript-ranges-hex.txt: removed script ranges that
48 are new in Unicode 8.0.0. "noscript-hex.txt" is generated from
50 * font/plane01/plane01-unassigned-ranges.txt: removed code points that
51 are newly assigned in scripts in Unicode 8.0.0.
52 "unassigned-ranges.txt" is generated from this file.
53 * src/hex2bdf: improved hex string pattern match to go beyond Plane 0.
55 - Changed version string from "7.0" to "8.0".
56 - Line 129: moved "(i < 9)" range check before use of i in array.
58 2014-10-23 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
62 - Updated version to 7.0.06.
63 - Added "GZFLAGS = -f -9 -n" to use with gzip in all cases.
64 - Changed ';' to "&&" for multiple shell commands, to fail if
65 a preceding step caused an error.
66 - Use "install -s" instead of "install" on C binaries.
67 * Makefile: regenerated .PHONY: target entries.
69 - Added GRAPHICS declaration, settable to "png" or "bmp" depending
70 on the type of Unifont font pages desired. The default is set
72 - Added bmp: target to create bitmapped graphics (.bmp) images of
74 - Create font/compiled/plane00.html along with
75 font/compiled/plane01.html in "png" and "bmp" targets.
76 * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
77 - Added one glyph inadvertently omitted from Old Italic:
78 U+01031F (Paul Hardy).
79 - Improved animals in U+01F400..U+01F43F (Nils Dagsson Moskopp).
81 U+010350..U+01037F Old Permic (Paul Hardy)
82 U+01F650..U+01F67F Ornamental Dingbats (Paul Hardy)
83 U+01F780..U+01F7FF Geometric Shapes Extended (Paul Hardy)
84 U+01F800..U+01F8FF Supplemental Arrows-C (Paul Hardy)
85 - Emoticons (Paul Hardy)
86 U+01F608: made horns look more like horns
87 * src/: in all Perl scripts, added "or die" for open, close, and
88 print system calls. Made some error messages more descriptive.
89 * src/Makefile: Changed CFLAGS parameter "-O" to explicitly be "-O2".
90 * src/unihexfill: added "set -e" at beginning of bash script.
92 2014-10-17 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
95 * ChangeLog: updated list of Plane 1 scripts added in 7.0.04 entry.
97 - Put plane01.html in font/compiled/ instead of font/.
99 Following Umbreon126's discovery that the ASCII letter 'k' was
100 one pixel too short, Paul Hardy examined the rest of the ASCII
101 alphabet and made these changes:
102 - The letter 'l' was raised by one pixel to make it the same
103 height as all other lower-case letters with ascenders:
104 'b', 'd', 'f', 'h', 'k', and also the same height as 'i' and 'j'.
105 These are all one pixel taller than the upper-case letters.
106 - The horizontal stroke of the letter 't' was lowered by one
107 pixel row to line up with the horizontal stroke in 'f'.
108 This is one pixel shorter than the font's x-height, and
110 - The following scripts were modified where appropriate to
111 include the changes to the letters 'k', 'l', and 't':
112 U+00A0..U+00FF Latin-1 Supplement [no changes]
113 U+0100..U+017F Latin Extended-A
114 U+0180..U+024F Latin Extended-B
115 U+0250..U+02A0 IPA Extensions
116 U+1E00..U+1EFF Latin Extended Additional
117 U+2C60..U+2C7F Latin Extended-C
118 U+3300..U+33FF CJK Compatibility
119 U+A720..U+A7FF Latin Extended-D
120 U+FB00..U+FB4F Alphabetic Presentation Forms
121 U+FF00..U+FFEF Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms.
123 - Paul Hardy and Nils Dagsson Moskopp completed Miscellaneous
124 Symbols and Pictographs (U+01F300..U+01F5FF).
125 - Nils modified several Plane 1 glyphs from what were in the
126 Unifont-7.0.04 release in these scripts:
127 U+01F300..U+01F5FF Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs
128 U+01F600..U+01F4F Emoticons
129 U+01F680..U+01F6FF and Transport and Map Symbols scripts.
130 * man/Makefile: remove $(MANPAGES) from "install" target.
132 2014-10-11 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
135 * Makefiles: bumped version to 7.0.04.
136 * ChangeLog: added "Version" line at the start of all past entries,
137 since the version number now no longer includes a date as of
138 Version 7.0.01. Fixed spelling of "Umbreon126" in 7.0.02 entry.
139 * doc/: updates to include man/unipagecount.1 changes.
141 - Incorporates all font/plane01 glyphs in generated
142 font/compiled/png/plane01/*.png files, including six-digit
143 hexadecimal glyphs for code points that the Unicode Consortium
144 has not yet assigned to scripts.
145 - Generate font/plane01/all/plane01.html, showing current coverage
146 and what remains to be done in a color-coded table.
147 - Modified distclean target to do a "make clean" in font/plane01.
148 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
149 - Copied U+0070 (lower-case Latin "p") to U+0440 (Cyrillic
150 small letter "er"). Thanks to Umbreon126 for spotting that.
151 - Made the angle in symbol U+26BC (SESQUIQUADRATE) a 45 degree
152 angle, since the symbol is supposed to represent 135 degrees
153 (so 90 + 45 = 135). Thanks to Artur Quaglio for noticing that.
154 The depiction in the Unicode Standard code chart is inaccurate.
155 - Umbreon126 improved the following glyphs:
156 U+0026, U+006B, U+0111, U+0127, U+040F, U+041A, U+0444, U+0452,
157 U+045B, U+045F, U+066F, U+0950, U+1E00, U+1E01, U+20AB, U+2103,
158 U+2109, U+2118, U+211C, U+213C, U+213D, U+2169, U+26F6, U+2721,
159 U+A4D2, U+3005, U+3006.
160 * font/plane00/wqy.hex: Umbreon126 improved the following glyphs:
161 U+3116, U+3464, U+35CA, U+4EAE, U+533F, U+53D7, U+5404, U+569F,
162 U+56B9, U+56DE, U+5909, U+5967, U+5E38, U+6238, U+796D, U+7981,
163 U+7A3F, U+7C21, U+7F60, U+840C, U+8276, U+9055, U+907A, U+9089,
165 * font/plane01/Makefile:
166 - Changed name of generated unassigned.hex to plane01-unassigned.hex.
167 - Added a line to create noscript-ranges-hex.txt from
169 - Create font/plane01/all/ directory for generating PNG files
170 when font is compiled.
171 * font/plane01/noscript-ranges.txt: added file that contains
172 start and stop code points of all ranges in Unicode Plane 1
173 where Unicode scripts have not yet been assigned. font/Makefile
174 uses this to generate filler glyphs for those unassigned script
175 ranges; they are not included in the main font, but are included
176 in the PNG graphics files in the font/compiled directory.
177 * font/plane01/plane01-combining.txt: added all Unicode combining
178 code points in the Unicode 7.0 Plane 1 range, not just ones for
179 scripts that Unifont Upper contains.
180 * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
181 - Artur Quaglio added Elbasan and Caucasian Albanian.
182 - Paul Hardy added Sora Sompeng, Chakma, Sharada, Takri, Miao,
183 Arabic Mathematical Alphabetic Supplement, and Transport and
185 - Umbreon126 added Siddham and the script letters in the Mathematical
186 Alphanumeric Symbols block.
187 - Paul Hardy, Nils Dagsson Moskopp, and Umbreon126 added more
188 to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, and Nils improved
190 - Nils Dagsson Moskopp made improvements to some Transport and
192 - Umbreon126 improved U+01F200.
193 * font/plane01/plane01-nonprinting.hex: new file contains the
194 non-printing Unicode Plane 01 glyphs.
195 * font/plane01/unassigned-ranges.txt: fixed a typo; under the
196 Khojki script, 011122 should have been 011212.
197 * man/Makefile: added unifont-viewer.1 to MAN1PAGES variable.
198 * man/unipagecount.1: updated to reflect src/unipagecount.c changes.
200 - Modified comments to include Luis Alejandro González Miranda's
202 - Now supports combining characters for glyphs above Plane 0.
203 - Properly marks fonts with glyphs above Plane 0 as "Unicode"
204 instead of "UnicodeBmp".
205 - Explicitly defines glyphs for ".notdef", ".null", and
206 "nonmarkingreturn" rather than use the Fontforge-supplied defaults.
207 - Calculate exact number of glyphs in the font for BeginChars entry.
208 - Moved pixel-outlining portion to a separate subroutine, "outline".
209 - Add "uni" prefix to StartChar description of code points.
210 * src/unipagecount.c: modified to handle glyphs for any Unicode plane.
211 Now takes a "-Pnn" parameter, where "nn" is the desired plane
212 number (0 through 16, inclusive). The default is Plane 0.
213 The previous version would only take one command-line argument;
214 this version can take multiple arguments.
216 2014-07-01 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
219 * doc/unifont.texi: include unihexfill.texi.
220 * doc/unihexfill.texi: added file.
221 * doc/*.texi: updated all files to cross-reference unihexfill(1).
222 * font/Makefile: removed spurious "DF" element in "for"
223 loop to create "compiled/png/csur/" glyphs.
224 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: changed "y" glyph (U+0079)
225 back to previous version. Added modification to the
226 German double s glyph (U+00DF) submitted by Joshua Krämer.
227 * font/plane01/Makefile: corrected a comment line.
228 * man/unihexfill.1: created missing man page. Without that,
229 this version did not conform to Debian Policy. The
230 omission drove this release.
231 * man/*.[15]: updated all man pages to cross-reference unihexfill(1).
233 2014-06-29 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
237 - File now begins with UTF-8 encoded Byte Order Mark (U+FEFF),
238 which is 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF. This will alert some less than
239 well behaved text applications to expect non-ASCII UTF-8
240 characters in this file.
241 - Corrected date in previous ChangeLog entry.
242 * font/Makefile: removed an extra "done" in a "for" loop.
243 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
244 - Joshua Krämer redrew U+0079 ('y') and U+00B5 (mu).

253 Inscriptional Parthian, Inscriptional Pahlavi, Psalter Pahlavi,
254 Old Turkic, Rumi Numeral Symbols, Brahmi, Kaithi, Kana Supplement,
255 Shorthand Format Controls, Emoticons, and Alchemical Symbols.
256 He also redrew U+01F195 ("NEW").
257 - Nils Dagsson Moskopp drew more glyphs in the Miscellaneous
258 Symbols and Pictographs block.
259 - Umbreon126 contributed the Pahawh Hmong glyphs. He contributed
260 new Mah Jong glyphs: U+01F010, U+01F022 through U+01F02A. He
261 also redrew U+01F16A ("MC") and U+01F198 ("SOS").
263 2014-06-21 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
266 * Changed version numbering from a date at the end to a two-digit
267 release number for a given Unicode version, where a Unicode version
268 consists of a major number and a minor number. So this version is
269 Unifont 7.0.01, because it is the first revision to implement the
270 Unifont 7.0 glyphs. Richard Stallman made this request.
271 * INSTALL: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new
274 - Changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new directory name.
275 - Added mention of Andrew Miller writing unifont-viewer.

281 - Corrected naming of section "Using Graphical Tools"; it was
282 incorrectly named "Hex File Format", which is the name of the
284 - Added new section on "Dynamically Viewing a Unifont File" to
285 describe using the unifont-viewer Perl utility.
286 - Added unifont-viewer man page sub-section to Reference section.
287 * doc/unifontpic.texi: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
288 the new directory name.

290 the new directory name.
292 - Added font/plane0[1-F]csur/*.hex in hex: target to sort input
293 for building fonts containing CSUR glyphs above Plane 0.
294 - Added all combining character code points in uppercsurttf target.
295 - Added creation of unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).hex. This
296 involved the creation of combining and nonprinting files in
297 "font/compiled/" directory. Also added creation of
298 unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).bdf and
299 the SBIT font unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).ttf.
300 - Added generation of Supplemental Multilingual Plane glyphs
301 to "font/compiled/bmp/" directory.
302 - Renamed "font/compiled/bmp/uni??.bmp" to
303 "font/compiled/bmp/uni00??.bmp" to appear before SMP bitmap files.

306 Graphics format (with combining circles where appropriate),
307 in subdirectories "plane00", "plane01", "plane0E", and "csur".
308 - clean target now also removes "$(COMPILED_DIR)/*.sfd.gz".
309 * font/index.html: added table for Supplemental Multilingual Plane.
310 * font/plane00: Added the 327 new glyphs introduced to Plane 0 in
311 Unicode 7.0. This involved adding glyphs to unifont-base.hex,

313 newly-defined glyphs from unassigned.hex.
314 * font/plane00/README: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
315 the new directory name.
316 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
317 - Redrew U+0D00 and U+2702.
318 - Redrew Halfwidth Katakana Variants, U+FF65 through U+FF9F, because
319 the original glyphs were too tall compared to the rest of Unifont.
320 - Using new versions of U+2619 (the "Aldus leaf"), U+2622,
321 and U+26DF that Nils Moskopp submitted.
322 * font/plane00csur/csur.hex: removed U+EFFF as a Copyleft symbol, as
323 it is not part of the ConScript Unicode Registry.

350 * src/unigencircles.c: extended to cover the entire Unicode range.
351 * src/unihexfill: new program to pad a script with glyphs that are
352 four or six digits. Among other uses, this will allow Debian
353 GNU/Linux's font review script to report Unicode script completion
354 percentage accurately for Unifont.
356 2014-02-14 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
358 * Version: 6.3.20140214.

367 - Updated date for new release.
368 - Added Qianqian Fang's name to COPYRIGHT strings, for his glyph
369 contributions in "font/plane00/wqy.hex".
370 * hangul/hangul-generation.html: removed references to three footer
371 "<img>" links that pointed to external websites. Those external
372 icons were saved locally when the original web page
373 http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html was saved in
374 the "hangul/" directory. That web page is the most comprehensive
375 documentation of the effort to create the Hangul Syllables block
377 * hangul/hangul-generation_files: removed three external icon files
378 ("valid-html401.png", "vccs.gif", and "w3c_ab.gif") that were saved

390 "font/hexsrc" has been renamed to "font/plane00".
391 * doc/: regenerated unifont.txt, unifont.info, and unifont.pdf files
392 after addition of doc/hexkinya.texi.
393 * doc/Makefile (docprep): added new target to remove the files
394 created by "make doc", in preparation for running "make doc" again.
395 * doc/hexkinya.texi: added Texinfo file for hexkinya Perl script.
396 * doc/unifont.texi: updated file to reflect "font/hexsrc" being
397 renamed to "font/plane00" and made other changes to reflect
398 support beyond the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane.
400 - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
401 - Add unifont_upper font files for Plane 1 through Plane 14 glyphs.
402 - Add unifont_upper_csur font files for Plane 1 through Plane 15
403 glyphs (currently there are no glyphs for Plane 16, the highest
404 plane that the Unicode Standard allows).
405 - Create Unifont-APL8x16.psf.gz console font file, to support
406 running GNU APL and other APL implementations in console mode.
407 This font is a 512 glyph subset of Unifont.
408 * font/Makefile (bigpic): construct giant glyph picture using
409 font/plane00/*.hex rather than font/compiled/unifont_sample*.hex,
410 because the latter doesn't contain glyphs for U+FFFE or U+FFFF
411 (removed to appease MS Windows).
412 * font/Makefile (hex): added egrep -v "^FFF[EF]" to make sure
413 U+FFFE and U+FFFF are removed from font, for Windows XP.
414 * font/plane00: new name of previous "font/hexsrc" directory, now
415 that this package contains multiple Unicode planes.
416 * font/plane00/README: updated to mention new "omit.hex" file.
417 * font/plane00/bmp-combining.txt: formerly "font/ttfsrc/combining.txt".
418 * font/plane00/nonprinting.hex: removed U+FFFE and U+FFFF to
419 appease MS Windows XP (see font/plane00/omit.hex entry below).
420 * font/plane00/omit.hex: consists of U+FFFE and U+FFFF, for the
421 sake of MS Windows XP.
422 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: Further tweaks to APL glyphs.
424 - Created ConScript Unicode Registry directory, for glyphs in Michael

450 * font/ttfsrc: simplified directory to only contain a Makefile;
451 other files were moved to "font/plane00/" as a precursor to allow
452 parallel building of multiple fonts.
453 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile:
454 - Updated VERSION date.
455 - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
456 * hangul/README: changed mention of "font/hexsrc" to new location
458 * man/hexkinya.1: added man page for Andrew Miller's hexkinya Perl
459 script, also cross-referenced in all other man pages.
460 * src/hexkinya: new script by Andrew Miller to generate Kinya Private
461 Use Area glyphs in Plane 15, saved under "font/plane0Fcsur/".

467 2013-12-21 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
469 * Version: 6.3.20131221.
470 * ChangeLog: corrected date on last entry from 12-27 to 12-17.
471 * Makefiles: updated date for new release.
472 * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex: Modified glyphs to appear better
473 in APL: U+22F8, U+233B, U+233E, U+235B, and U+2364.
474 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: commented out SetFontNames function calls
475 in fontforge. Not all applications were interpreting that data
476 correctly. For example, in LibreOffice, it listed the font as
477 the foundry name ("GNU") rather than the foundry name plus the
478 font name ("GNU Unifont") or just the font name. That is a bug
479 in LibreOffice, so if such things are fixed in the future then
480 these calls can be re-introduced.
482 - Rearranged some properties (cosmetic change).
483 - Changed default font name from "unifont" to "Unifont".
484 * src/unigencircles.c: changed subscript from MAXSTRING to
485 MAXSTRING-1 at line 61.
487 2013-12-17 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
489 * Version: 6.3.20131217.
490 * doc/Makefile: removed redirection of texi2pdf output.
491 * doc/unifont.pdf: rebuilt file.
493 - Don't modify PCF fonts with FontForge, which alters them
494 so grub-mkfont can't read them.
495 - In font/compiled, insert $(VERSION) into unifont.sfd name.
496 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile (clean): remove *.bdf, so unifont_sample.bdf
498 * README: removed date stamp at top of file.
500 2013-12-15 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
502 * Version: 6.3.20131215.
503 * src/unihex2png: new program to convert unifont.hex to PNG image.
504 * src/unipng2hex: new program to convert PNG image to unifont.hex.
506 - Added new XLFD properties for font generation for FreeType and
507 grub-mkfont support; includes version & copyright info.
508 - Fields now begin with upper-case, including "unifont"-->"Unifont".
509 - Changed POINT_SIZE property from 160 to 120.
510 - Added "Sans" style name to FONT string plus XLFD property.
511 - Added command line options for font name, version, & glyph height.
512 - Allow generation of fonts with other than 16 pixel rows/glyph, to
513 support new capabilities of unihex2png, unipng2hex, and hexdraw.
514 * src/unidup.c: now takes an optional file name on the command line.
515 * src/*.c: reformatted to follow GNU Coding Standards.
516 * man/*: Updated man pages to reflect new options, new programs,
517 and to reflect the GPLv2+ license now common to all programs.
518 * doc/: new directory with Texinfo files.
519 * ChangeLog: created new file.
520 * COPYING: created new file.
521 * INSTALL: file created using BUILDING section from old README file.
522 * LICENSE: removed; its contents are in README and COPYING now.
523 * NEWS: created new file.
524 * Makefiles: added "SHELL = /bin/sh" if not already declared.
525 * Makefiles (distclean): added removal of "*~" if not already declared.
526 * Makefile: compress text files with "gzip -f -9" during installation.
527 * font/Makefile: fontforge scripting updated; now adds font copyright,
528 license, version and other info to PCF files.
529 * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex:
530 - Redrew several Armenian letters (U+0530..U+058F).
531 - Redrew Capricorn symbol (U+2651).
532 - Redrew CJK Radical Supplement glyphs: U+2E9F, U+2EA9, U+2EAC,
533 U+2EAE, U+2EC0, U+2EDE, U+2EE7, and U+2EED.
534 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: fontforge scripting command changed from
535 "Simplify(-1,1)" to "Simplify(64,1)" to "merge lines which are
536 nearly parallel into one". This decreases the TrueType file size
537 by almost 2 Megabytes, by reducing the number of control points
538 for a glyph. Also add font copyright, license, version, and
539 other info to TTF files.
540 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: now builds SBIT font unifont_sample.ttf.
541 * unifontall-*: renamed to "unifont_sample-*".
542 * *.bdf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with hex2bdf.
543 * *.pcf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
544 * *.ttf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
545 * font/*/unifont-*.bmp: Create chart of entire Unifont using pre-built
546 unifont_sample.hex rather than assembling *.hex just for this image.
547 * hangul/hangul-generation.html: updated to correct a typo, where
548 rieul was mentioned as an initial consonant instead of a final
549 consonant in an explanation of vertical spacing constraints.
551 - Updated hex2bdf parameters to name generated BDF font
552 "Unifont Johab" rather than "unifont" and add copyright.
553 - Used a sed script to change BDF encoding from ISO10646 to "Johab".
554 - Call bdftopcf to create hangul-base.pcf, then compress with gzip.
555 - Add "precompiled:" target to create basic Johab font files.
557 2013-10-20 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
559 * Version: 6.3.20131020.
