1 2014-07-01 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
3 * doc/unifont.texi: include unihexfill.texi.
4 * doc/unihexfill.texi: added file.
5 * doc/*.texi: updated all files to cross-reference unihexfill(1).
6 * font/Makefile: removed spurious "DF" element in "for"
7 loop to create "compiled/png/csur/" glyphs.
8 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: changed "y" glyph (U+0079)
9 back to previous version. Added modification to the
10 German double s glyph (U+00DF) submitted by Joshua Krämer.
11 * font/plane01/Makefile: corrected a comment line.
12 * man/unihexfill.1: created missing man page. Without that,
13 this version did not conform to Debian Policy. The
14 omission drove this release.
15 * man/*.[15]: updated all man pages to cross-reference unihexfill(1).
17 2014-06-29 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
20 - File now begins with UTF-8 encoded Byte Order Mark (U+FEFF),
21 which is 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF. This will alert some less than
22 well behaved text applications to expect non-ASCII UTF-8
23 characters in this file.
24 - Corrected date in previous ChangeLog entry.
25 * font/Makefile: removed an extra "done" in a "for" loop.

33 * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
34 - Paul Hardy added [in order of appearance in Uniocde Plane 1 /
35 the SMP]: Meroitic Hieroglyphs, Meroitic Cursive, Avestan,
36 Inscriptional Parthian, Inscriptional Pahlavi, Psalter Pahlavi,
37 Old Turkic, Rumi Numeral Symbols, Brahmi, Kaithi, Kana Supplement,
38 Shorthand Format Controls, Emoticons, and Alchemical Symbols.
39 He also redrew U+01F195 ("NEW").
40 - Nils Dagsson Moskopp drew more glyphs in the Miscellaneous
41 Symbols and Pictographs block.
42 - Ubreon126 contributed the Pahawh Hmong glyphs. He contributed
43 new Mah Jong glyphs: U+01F010, U+01F022 through U+01F02A. He

46 2014-06-21 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
48 * Changed version numbering from a date at the end to a two-digit
49 release number for a given Unicode version, where a Unicode version
50 consists of a major number and a minor number. So this version is
51 Unifont 7.0.01, because it is the first revision to implement the
52 Unifont 7.0 glyphs. Richard Stallman made this request.
53 * INSTALL: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new
56 - Changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new directory name.

67 describe using the unifont-viewer Perl utility.
68 - Added unifont-viewer man page sub-section to Reference section.
69 * doc/unifontpic.texi: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
70 the new directory name.
71 * doc/unigencircles.texi: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
72 the new directory name.
74 - Added font/plane0[1-F]csur/*.hex in hex: target to sort input
75 for building fonts containing CSUR glyphs above Plane 0.
76 - Added all combining character code points in uppercsurttf target.
77 - Added creation of unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).hex. This
78 involved the creation of combining and nonprinting files in

80 unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).bdf and
81 the SBIT font unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).ttf.
82 - Added generation of Supplemental Multilingual Plane glyphs
83 to "font/compiled/bmp/" directory.
84 - Renamed "font/compiled/bmp/uni??.bmp" to
85 "font/compiled/bmp/uni00??.bmp" to appear before SMP bitmap files.
86 - compiled/bmp no longer created; replaced with compiled/png.

88 Graphics format (with combining circles where appropriate),
89 in subdirectories "plane00", "plane01", "plane0E", and "csur".
90 - clean target now also removes "$(COMPILED_DIR)/*.sfd.gz".
91 * font/index.html: added table for Supplemental Multilingual Plane.
92 * font/plane00: Added the 327 new glyphs introduced to Plane 0 in
93 Unicode 7.0. This involved adding glyphs to unifont-base.hex,
94 adding combining code points to bmp-combining.txt, and removing
95 newly-defined glyphs from unassigned.hex.
96 * font/plane00/README: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
97 the new directory name.
98 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
99 - Redrew U+0D00 and U+2702.
100 - Redrew Halfwidth Katakana Variants, U+FF65 through U+FF9F, because
101 the original glyphs were too tall compared to the rest of Unifont.
102 - Using new versions of U+2619 (the "Aldus leaf"), U+2622,
103 and U+26DF that Nils Moskopp submitted.
104 * font/plane00csur/csur.hex: removed U+EFFF as a Copyleft symbol, as
105 it is not part of the ConScript Unicode Registry.

119 * font/plane01/unassigned-ranges.txt: completed all unassigned ranges
120 for scripts that the Unicode Consortium has assigned.
121 * font/plane01/plane01-nonprinting.hex: created file.
123 - Added references to unifont-viewer in all other man pages.

132 * src/unigencircles.c: extended to cover the entire Unicode range.
133 * src/unihexfill: new program to pad a script with glyphs that are
134 four or six digits. Among other uses, this will allow Debian
135 GNU/Linux's font review script to report Unicode script completion
136 percentage accurately for Unifont.
138 2014-02-14 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
140 * COPYING: added GNU Free Documentation License 1.3, which covers

147 - Updated date for new release.
148 - Added Qianqian Fang's name to COPYRIGHT strings, for his glyph
149 contributions in "font/plane00/wqy.hex".
150 * hangul/hangul-generation.html: removed references to three footer
151 "<img>" links that pointed to external websites. Those external
152 icons were saved locally when the original web page
153 http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html was saved in
154 the "hangul/" directory. That web page is the most comprehensive
155 documentation of the effort to create the Hangul Syllables block
157 * hangul/hangul-generation_files: removed three external icon files
158 ("valid-html401.png", "vccs.gif", and "w3c_ab.gif") that were saved
159 locally when http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html
161 * src/unibmp2hex.c: increased size of "wide" array to be 0x200000,

172 * doc/Makefile (docprep): added new target to remove the files
173 created by "make doc", in preparation for running "make doc" again.
174 * doc/hexkinya.texi: added Texinfo file for hexkinya Perl script.
175 * doc/unifont.texi: updated file to reflect "font/hexsrc" being
176 renamed to "font/plane00" and made other changes to reflect
177 support beyond the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane.
179 - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
180 - Add unifont_upper font files for Plane 1 through Plane 14 glyphs.
181 - Add unifont_upper_csur font files for Plane 1 through Plane 15
182 glyphs (currently there are no glyphs for Plane 16, the highest
183 plane that the Unicode Standard allows).
184 - Create Unifont-APL8x16.psf.gz console font file, to support
185 running GNU APL and other APL implementations in console mode.
186 This font is a 512 glyph subset of Unifont.
187 * font/Makefile (bigpic): construct giant glyph picture using
188 font/plane00/*.hex rather than font/compiled/unifont_sample*.hex,
189 because the latter doesn't contain glyphs for U+FFFE or U+FFFF
190 (removed to appease MS Windows).
191 * font/Makefile (hex): added egrep -v "^FFF[EF]" to make sure
192 U+FFFE and U+FFFF are removed from font, for Windows XP.

198 appease MS Windows XP (see font/plane00/omit.hex entry below).
199 * font/plane00/omit.hex: consists of U+FFFE and U+FFFF, for the
200 sake of MS Windows XP.
201 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: Further tweaks to APL glyphs.
203 - Created ConScript Unicode Registry directory, for glyphs in Michael
204 Everson's PUA mapping ("http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/").
205 - Added contributions of Wojciech Stryjewski: Tengwar and Klingon.
206 - Added contributions of Andrew Miller: Kinya (partial), aUI,
207 Gargoyle, Ewellic, Unifon, Solresol, Visible Speech, and Monofon.
208 - Added contributions of Paul Hardy: Cirth and Aiha.
209 * font/plane01: created directory for Unicode Plane 1 glyphs.

212 - Added glyphs contributed by Andrew Miller: Ancient Symbols,
213 Lycian, Carian, Ugaritic, Old Persian, Musical Symbols,
214 Tai Xuan Jing Symbols, Counting Rod Numerals, Mathematical
215 Alphanumeric Symbols (partial), Mahjong Tiles, Domino Tiles,
216 Playing Cards, Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement, and Miscellaneous
217 Symbols and Pictographs (partial).

226 Unicode Registry (CSUR) contriubted by Andrew Miller: Kinya Syllables.
227 * font/psf: added directory with files to build new PSF font version,
228 to allow APL use under GNU/Linux in console mode.
229 * font/ttfsrc: simplified directory to only contain a Makefile;
230 other files were moved to "font/plane00/" as a precursor to allow
231 parallel building of multiple fonts.
232 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile:
233 - Updated VERSION date.
234 - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
235 * hangul/README: changed mention of "font/hexsrc" to new location
237 * man/hexkinya.1: added man page for Andrew Miller's hexkinya Perl
238 script, also cross-referenced in all other man pages.
239 * src/hexkinya: new script by Andrew Miller to generate Kinya Private
240 Use Area glyphs in Plane 15, saved under "font/plane0Fcsur/".
241 * src/unibmp2hex.c: added forced double width for appropriate
242 Plane 1 (Supplemental Multilingual Plane) scripts now that
243 this package extends beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane.
244 * src/unipagecount.c: corrected license from GPL3+ to GPL2+.
246 2013-12-21 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
248 * ChangeLog: corrected date on last entry from 12-27 to 12-17.
249 * Makefiles: updated date for new release.
250 * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex: Modified glyphs to appear better
251 in APL: U+22F8, U+233B, U+233E, U+235B, and U+2364.
252 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: commented out SetFontNames function calls
253 in fontforge. Not all applications were interpreting that data
254 correctly. For example, in LibreOffice, it listed the font as
255 the foundry name ("GNU") rather than the foundry name plus the
256 font name ("GNU Unifont") or just the font name. That is a bug
257 in LibreOffice, so if such things are fixed in the future then
258 these calls can be re-introduced.
260 - Rearranged some properties (cosmetic change).
261 - Changed default font name from "unifont" to "Unifont".
262 * src/unigencircles.c: changed subscript from MAXSTRING to
263 MAXSTRING-1 at line 61.
265 2013-12-17 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
267 * doc/Makefile: removed redirection of texi2pdf output.
268 * doc/unifont.pdf: rebuilt file.
270 - Don't modify PCF fonts with FontForge, which alters them
271 so grub-mkfont can't read them.
272 - In font/compiled, insert $(VERSION) into unifont.sfd name.
273 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile (clean): remove *.bdf, so unifont_sample.bdf
275 * README: removed date stamp at top of file.
277 2013-12-15 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
279 * src/unihex2png: new program to convert unifont.hex to PNG image.
280 * src/unipng2hex: new program to convert PNG image to unifont.hex.
282 - Added new XLFD properties for font generation for FreeType and
283 grub-mkfont support; includes version & copyright info.
284 - Fields now begin with upper-case, including "unifont"-->"Unifont".
285 - Changed POINT_SIZE property from 160 to 120.
286 - Added "Sans" style name to FONT string plus XLFD property.
287 - Added command line options for font name, version, & glyph height.
288 - Allow generation of fonts with other than 16 pixel rows/glyph, to
289 support new capabilities of unihex2png, unipng2hex, and hexdraw.
290 * src/unidup.c: now takes an optional file name on the command line.
291 * src/*.c: reformatted to follow GNU Coding Standards.
292 * man/*: Updated man pages to reflect new options, new programs,
293 and to reflect the GPLv2+ license now common to all programs.
294 * doc/: new directory with Texinfo files.
295 * ChangeLog: created new file.
296 * COPYING: created new file.
297 * INSTALL: file created using BUILDING section from old README file.
298 * LICENSE: removed; its contents are in README and COPYING now.
299 * NEWS: created new file.
300 * Makefiles: added "SHELL = /bin/sh" if not already declared.
301 * Makefiles (distclean): added removal of "*~" if not already declared.
302 * Makefile: compress text files with "gzip -f -9" during installation.
303 * font/Makefile: fontforge scripting updated; now adds font copyright,
304 license, version and other info to PCF files.
305 * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex:
306 - Redrew several Armenian letters (U+0530..U+058F).
307 - Redrew Capricorn symbol (U+2651).
308 - Redrew CJK Radical Supplement glyphs: U+2E9F, U+2EA9, U+2EAC,
309 U+2EAE, U+2EC0, U+2EDE, U+2EE7, and U+2EED.
310 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: fontforge scripting command changed from
311 "Simplify(-1,1)" to "Simplify(64,1)" to "merge lines which are
312 nearly parallel into one". This decreases the TrueType file size
313 by almost 2 Megabytes, by reducing the number of control points
314 for a glyph. Also add font copyright, license, version, and
315 other info to TTF files.
316 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: now builds SBIT font unifont_sample.ttf.
317 * unifontall-*: renamed to "unifont_sample-*".
318 * *.bdf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with hex2bdf.
319 * *.pcf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
320 * *.ttf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
321 * font/*/unifont-*.bmp: Create chart of entire Unifont using pre-built
322 unifont_sample.hex rather than assembling *.hex just for this image.
323 * hangul/hangul-generation.html: updated to correct a typo, where
324 rieul was mentioned as an initial consonant instead of a final
325 consonant in an explanation of vertical spacing constraints.
327 - Updated hex2bdf parameters to name generated BDF font
328 "Unifont Johab" rather than "unifont" and add copyright.
329 - Used a sed script to change BDF encoding from ISO10646 to "Johab".
330 - Call bdftopcf to create hangul-base.pcf, then compress with gzip.
331 - Add "precompiled:" target to create basic Johab font files.
333 2013-10-20 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
335 * First GNU Project version.
