3 * COPYING: added GNU Free Documentation License 1.3, which covers
4 the files "doc/unifont.*".
5 * ChangeLog: fixed a typo in 2014-02-04 entry.
7 2014-02-04 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
10 - Updated date for new release.
11 - Added Qianqian Fang's name to COPYRIGHT strings, for his glyph
12 contributions in "font/plane00/wqy.hex".
13 * hangul/hangul-generation.html: removed references to three footer
14 "<img>" links that pointed to external websites. Those external
15 icons were saved locally when the original web page
16 http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html was saved in
17 the "hangul/" directory. That web page is the most comprehensive
18 documentation of the effort to create the Hangul Syllables block
20 * hangul/hangul-generation_files: removed three external icon files
21 ("valid-html401.png", "vccs.gif", and "w3c_ab.gif") that were saved
22 locally when http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html
24 * src/unibmp2hex.c: increased size of "wide" array to be 0x200000,
25 to cover the entire range of Unicode.
27 2014-02-02 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
29 * Makefiles: updated date for new release.
30 * NEWS: updated for new release.
31 * README: updated for new release, notably mentioning that
32 "font/hexsrc" has been renamed to "font/plane00".
33 * doc/: regenerated unifont.txt, unifont.info, and unifont.pdf files
34 after addition of doc/hexkinya.texi.
35 * doc/Makefile (docprep): added new target to remove the files
36 created by "make doc", in preparation for running "make doc" again.
37 * doc/hexkinya.texi: added Texinfo file for hexkinya Perl script.
38 * doc/unifont.texi: updated file to reflect "font/hexsrc" being
39 renamed to "font/plane00" and made other changes to reflect
40 support beyond the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane.
42 - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
43 - Add unifont_upper font files for Plane 1 through Plane 14 glyphs.
44 - Add unifont_upper_csur font files for Plane 1 through Plane 15
45 glyphs (currently there are no glyphs for Plane 16, the highest
46 plane that the Unicode Standard allows).
47 - Create Unifont-APL8x16.psf.gz console font file, to support
48 running GNU APL and other APL implementations in console mode.
49 This font is a 512 glyph subset of Unifont.
50 * font/Makefile (bigpic): construct giant glyph picture using
51 font/plane00/*.hex rather than font/compiled/unifont_sample*.hex,
52 because the latter doesn't contain glyphs for U+FFFE or U+FFFF
53 (removed to appease MS Windows).
54 * font/Makefile (hex): added egrep -v "^FFF[EF]" to make sure
55 U+FFFE and U+FFFF are removed from font, for Windows XP.
56 * font/plane00: new name of previous "font/hexsrc" directory, now
57 that this package contains multiple Unicode planes.
58 * font/plane00/README: updated to mention new "omit.hex" file.
59 * font/plane00/bmp-combining.txt: formerly "font/ttfsrc/combining.txt".
60 * font/plane00/nonprinting.hex: removed U+FFFE and U+FFFF to
61 appease MS Windows XP (see font/plane00/omit.hex entry below).
62 * font/plane00/omit.hex: consists of U+FFFE and U+FFFF, for the
63 sake of MS Windows XP.
64 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: Further tweaks to APL glyphs.
66 - Created ConScript Unicode Registry directory, for glyphs in Michael
67 Everson's PUA mapping ("http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/").
68 - Added contributions of Wojciech Stryjewski: Tengwar and Klingon.
69 - Added contributions of Andrew Miller: Kinya (partial), aUI,
70 Gargoyle, Ewellic, Unifon, Solresol, Visible Speech, and Monofon.
71 - Added contributions of Paul Hardy: Cirth and Aiha.
72 * font/plane01: created directory for Unicode Plane 1 glyphs.
73 - Added glyphs contributed by Roman Czyborra and Andrew Miller:
75 - Added glyphs contributed by Andrew Miller: Ancient Symbols,
76 Lycian, Carian, Ugaritic, Old Persian, Musical Symbols,
77 Tai Xuan Jing Symbols, Counting Rod Numerals, Mathematical
78 Alphanumeric Symbols (partial), Mahjong Tiles, Domino Tiles,
79 Playing Cards, Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement, and Miscellaneous
80 Symbols and Pictographs (partial).
81 - Added glyphs contributed by Paul Hardy: Linear B Syllabary,
82 Linear B Ideograms, Aegean Numbers, Ancient Greek Numbers,
83 Gothic, Deseret, Shavian, Osmanya, Cypriot Syllabary, Phoenecian,

89 Unicode Registry (CSUR) contriubted by Andrew Miller: Kinya Syllables.
90 * font/psf: added directory with files to build new PSF font version,
91 to allow APL use under GNU/Linux in console mode.
92 * font/ttfsrc: simplified directory to only contain a Makefile;
93 other files were moved to "font/plane00/" as a precursor to allow
94 parallel building of multiple fonts.
95 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile:
96 - Updated VERSION date.
97 - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
98 * hangul/README: changed mention of "font/hexsrc" to new location
100 * man/hexkinya.1: added man page for Andrew Miller's hexkinya Perl
101 script, also cross-referenced in all other man pages.
102 * src/hexkinya: new script by Andrew Miller to generate Kinya Private
103 Use Area glyphs in Plane 15, saved under "font/plane0Fcsur/".
104 * src/unibmp2hex.c: added forced double width for appropriate
105 Plane 1 (Supplemental Multilingual Plane) scripts now that
106 this package extends beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane.
107 * src/unipagecount.c: corrected license from GPL3+ to GPL2+.
109 2013-12-21 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
111 * ChangeLog: corrected date on last entry from 12-27 to 12-17.
112 * Makefiles: updated date for new release.
113 * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex: Modified glyphs to appear better
114 in APL: U+22F8, U+233B, U+233E, U+235B, and U+2364.
115 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: commented out SetFontNames function calls
116 in fontforge. Not all applications were interpreting that data
117 correctly. For example, in LibreOffice, it listed the font as
118 the foundry name ("GNU") rather than the foundry name plus the
119 font name ("GNU Unifont") or just the font name. That is a bug
120 in LibreOffice, so if such things are fixed in the future then
121 these calls can be re-introduced.
123 - Rearranged some properties (cosmetic change).
124 - Changed default font name from "unifont" to "Unifont".
125 * src/unigencircles.c: changed subscript from MAXSTRING to
126 MAXSTRING-1 at line 61.
128 2013-12-17 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
130 * doc/Makefile: removed redirection of texi2pdf output.
131 * doc/unifont.pdf: rebuilt file.
133 - Don't modify PCF fonts with FontForge, which alters them
134 so grub-mkfont can't read them.
135 - In font/compiled, insert $(VERSION) into unifont.sfd name.
136 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile (clean): remove *.bdf, so unifont_sample.bdf
138 * README: removed date stamp at top of file.
140 2013-12-15 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
142 * src/unihex2png: new program to convert unifont.hex to PNG image.
143 * src/unipng2hex: new program to convert PNG image to unifont.hex.
145 - Added new XLFD properties for font generation for FreeType and
146 grub-mkfont support; includes version & copyright info.
147 - Fields now begin with upper-case, including "unifont"-->"Unifont".
148 - Changed POINT_SIZE property from 160 to 120.
149 - Added "Sans" style name to FONT string plus XLFD property.
150 - Added command line options for font name, version, & glyph height.
151 - Allow generation of fonts with other than 16 pixel rows/glyph, to
152 support new capabilities of unihex2png, unipng2hex, and hexdraw.
153 * src/unidup.c: now takes an optional file name on the command line.
154 * src/*.c: reformatted to follow GNU Coding Standards.
155 * man/*: Updated man pages to reflect new options, new programs,
156 and to reflect the GPLv2+ license now common to all programs.
157 * doc/: new directory with Texinfo files.
158 * ChangeLog: created new file.
159 * COPYING: created new file.
160 * INSTALL: file created using BUILDING section from old README file.
161 * LICENSE: removed; its contents are in README and COPYING now.
162 * NEWS: created new file.
163 * Makefiles: added "SHELL = /bin/sh" if not already declared.
164 * Makefiles (distclean): added removal of "*~" if not already declared.
165 * Makefile: compress text files with "gzip -f -9" during installation.
166 * font/Makefile: fontforge scripting updated; now adds font copyright,
167 license, version and other info to PCF files.
168 * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex:
169 - Redrew several Armenian letters (U+0530..U+058F).
170 - Redrew Capricorn symbol (U+2651).
171 - Redrew CJK Radical Supplement glyphs: U+2E9F, U+2EA9, U+2EAC,
172 U+2EAE, U+2EC0, U+2EDE, U+2EE7, and U+2EED.
173 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: fontforge scripting command changed from
174 "Simplify(-1,1)" to "Simplify(64,1)" to "merge lines which are
175 nearly parallel into one". This decreases the TrueType file size
176 by almost 2 Megabytes, by reducing the number of control points
177 for a glyph. Also add font copyright, license, version, and
178 other info to TTF files.
179 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: now builds SBIT font unifont_sample.ttf.
180 * unifontall-*: renamed to "unifont_sample-*".
181 * *.bdf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with hex2bdf.
182 * *.pcf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
183 * *.ttf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
184 * font/*/unifont-*.bmp: Create chart of entire Unifont using pre-built
185 unifont_sample.hex rather than assembling *.hex just for this image.
186 * hangul/hangul-generation.html: updated to correct a typo, where
187 rieul was mentioned as an initial consonant instead of a final
188 consonant in an explanation of vertical spacing constraints.
190 - Updated hex2bdf parameters to name generated BDF font
191 "Unifont Johab" rather than "unifont" and add copyright.
192 - Used a sed script to change BDF encoding from ISO10646 to "Johab".
193 - Call bdftopcf to create hangul-base.pcf, then compress with gzip.
194 - Add "precompiled:" target to create basic Johab font files.
196 2013-10-20 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
198 * First GNU Project version.
