4 * Makefiles: bumped version to 7.0.04.
5 * ChangeLog: added "Version" line at the start of all past entries,
6 since the version number now no longer includes a date as of
7 Version 7.0.01. Fixed spelling of "Umbreon126" in 7.0.02 entry.
8 * doc/: updates to include man/unipagecount.1 changes.
10 - Incorporates all font/plane01 glyphs in generated
11 font/compiled/png/plane01/*.png files, including six-digit
12 hexadecimal glyphs for code points that the Unicode Consortium
13 has not yet assigned to scripts.
14 - Generate font/plane01/all/plane01.html, showing current coverage
15 and what remains to be done in a color-coded table.
16 - Modified distclean target to do a "make clean" in font/plane01.
17 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
18 - Copied U+0070 (lower-case Latin "p") to U+0440 (Cyrillic
19 small letter "er"). Thanks to Umbreon126 for spotting that.
20 - Made the angle in symbol U+26BC (SESQUIQUADRATE) a 45 degree
21 angle, since the symbol is supposed to represent 135 degrees
22 (so 90 + 45 = 135). Thanks to Artur Quaglio for noticing that.
23 The depiction in the Unicode Standard code chart is inaccurate.
24 - Umbreon126 improved the following glyphs:
25 U+0026, U+006B, U+0111, U+0127, U+040F, U+041A, U+0444, U+0452,
26 U+045B, U+045F, U+066F, U+0950, U+1E00, U+1E01, U+20AB, U+2103,
27 U+2109, U+2118, U+211C, U+213C, U+213D, U+2169, U+26F6, U+2721,
28 U+A4D2, U+3005, U+3006.
29 * font/plane00/wqy.hex: Umbreon126 improved the following glyphs:
30 U+3116, U+3464, U+35CA, U+4EAE, U+533F, U+53D7, U+5404, U+569F,
31 U+56B9, U+56DE, U+5909, U+5967, U+5E38, U+6238, U+796D, U+7981,
32 U+7A3F, U+7C21, U+7F60, U+840C, U+8276, U+9055, U+907A, U+9089,
34 * font/plane01/Makefile:
35 - Changed name of generated unassigned.hex to plane01-unassigned.hex.
36 - Added a line to create noscript-ranges-hex.txt from
38 - Create font/plane01/all/ directory for generating PNG files
39 when font is compiled.
40 * font/plane01/noscript-ranges.txt: added file that contains
41 start and stop code points of all ranges in Unicode Plane 1
42 where Unicode scripts have not yet been assigned. font/Makefile
43 uses this to generate filler glyphs for those unassigned script
44 ranges; they are not included in the main font, but are included
45 in the PNG graphics files in the font/compiled directory.
46 * font/plane01/plane01-combining.txt: added all Unicode combining
47 code points in the Unicode 7.0 Plane 1 range, not just ones for
48 scripts that Unifont Upper contains.
49 * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
50 - Paul Hardy added Sora Sompeng, Chakma.
51 - Umbreon126 added Siddham and the script letters in the Mathematical
52 Alphanumeric Symbols block.
53 - Artur Quaglio added Elbasan and Caucasian Albanian.
54 - Paul Hardy, Nils Dagsson Moskopp, and Umbreon126 added more
55 to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, and Nils improved
57 - Umbreon126 improved U+01F200.
58 * font/plane01/plane01-nonprinting.hex: new file contains the
59 non-printing Unicode Plane 01 glyphs.
60 * font/plane01/unassigned-ranges.txt: fixed a typo; under the
61 Khojki script, 011122 should have been 011212.
62 * man/Makefile: added unifont-viewer.1 to MAN1PAGES variable.
63 * man/unipagecount.1: updated to reflect src/unipagecount.c changes.
65 - Modified comments to include Luis Alejandro González Miranda's
67 - Now supports combining characters for glyphs above Plane 0.
68 - Properly marks fonts with glyphs above Plane 0 as "Unicode"
69 instead of "UnicodeBmp".
70 - Explicitly defines glyphs for ".notdef", ".null", and
71 "nonmarkingreturn" rather than use the Fontforge-supplied defaults.
72 - Calculate exact number of glyphs in the font for BeginChars entry.
73 - Moved pixel-outlining portion to a separate subroutine, "outline".
74 - Add "uni" prefix to StartChar description of code points.
75 * src/unipagecount.c: modified to handle glyphs for any Unicode plane.
76 Now takes a "-Pnn" parameter, where "nn" is the desired plane
77 number (0 through 16, inclusive). The default is Plane 0.
78 The previous version would only take one command-line argument;
79 this version can take multiple arguments.
81 2014-07-01 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
84 * doc/unifont.texi: include unihexfill.texi.
85 * doc/unihexfill.texi: added file.
86 * doc/*.texi: updated all files to cross-reference unihexfill(1).
87 * font/Makefile: removed spurious "DF" element in "for"
88 loop to create "compiled/png/csur/" glyphs.
89 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: changed "y" glyph (U+0079)
90 back to previous version. Added modification to the
91 German double s glyph (U+00DF) submitted by Joshua Krämer.
92 * font/plane01/Makefile: corrected a comment line.
93 * man/unihexfill.1: created missing man page. Without that,
94 this version did not conform to Debian Policy. The
95 omission drove this release.
96 * man/*.[15]: updated all man pages to cross-reference unihexfill(1).
98 2014-06-29 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
102 - File now begins with UTF-8 encoded Byte Order Mark (U+FEFF),
103 which is 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF. This will alert some less than
104 well behaved text applications to expect non-ASCII UTF-8
105 characters in this file.
106 - Corrected date in previous ChangeLog entry.
107 * font/Makefile: removed an extra "done" in a "for" loop.
108 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
109 - Joshua Krämer redrew U+0079 ('y') and U+00B5 (mu).

115 * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
116 - Paul Hardy added [in order of appearance in Uniocde Plane 1 /
117 the SMP]: Meroitic Hieroglyphs, Meroitic Cursive, Avestan,
118 Inscriptional Parthian, Inscriptional Pahlavi, Psalter Pahlavi,
119 Old Turkic, Rumi Numeral Symbols, Brahmi, Kaithi, Kana Supplement,
120 Shorthand Format Controls, Emoticons, and Alchemical Symbols.
121 He also redrew U+01F195 ("NEW").
122 - Nils Dagsson Moskopp drew more glyphs in the Miscellaneous
123 Symbols and Pictographs block.
124 - Umbreon126 contributed the Pahawh Hmong glyphs. He contributed
125 new Mah Jong glyphs: U+01F010, U+01F022 through U+01F02A. He
126 also redrew U+01F16A ("MC") and U+01F198 ("SOS").
128 2014-06-21 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
131 * Changed version numbering from a date at the end to a two-digit
132 release number for a given Unicode version, where a Unicode version
133 consists of a major number and a minor number. So this version is
134 Unifont 7.0.01, because it is the first revision to implement the
135 Unifont 7.0 glyphs. Richard Stallman made this request.
136 * INSTALL: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new
139 - Changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new directory name.

147 incorrectly named "Hex File Format", which is the name of the
149 - Added new section on "Dynamically Viewing a Unifont File" to
150 describe using the unifont-viewer Perl utility.
151 - Added unifont-viewer man page sub-section to Reference section.
152 * doc/unifontpic.texi: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
153 the new directory name.
154 * doc/unigencircles.texi: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
155 the new directory name.
157 - Added font/plane0[1-F]csur/*.hex in hex: target to sort input
158 for building fonts containing CSUR glyphs above Plane 0.
159 - Added all combining character code points in uppercsurttf target.
160 - Added creation of unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).hex. This
161 involved the creation of combining and nonprinting files in

163 unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).bdf and
164 the SBIT font unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).ttf.
165 - Added generation of Supplemental Multilingual Plane glyphs
166 to "font/compiled/bmp/" directory.
167 - Renamed "font/compiled/bmp/uni??.bmp" to
168 "font/compiled/bmp/uni00??.bmp" to appear before SMP bitmap files.
169 - compiled/bmp no longer created; replaced with compiled/png.

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

178 newly-defined glyphs from unassigned.hex.
179 * font/plane00/README: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
180 the new directory name.
181 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
182 - Redrew U+0D00 and U+2702.
183 - Redrew Halfwidth Katakana Variants, U+FF65 through U+FF9F, because
184 the original glyphs were too tall compared to the rest of Unifont.
185 - Using new versions of U+2619 (the "Aldus leaf"), U+2622,
186 and U+26DF that Nils Moskopp submitted.
187 * font/plane00csur/csur.hex: removed U+EFFF as a Copyleft symbol, as
188 it is not part of the ConScript Unicode Registry.

232 - Updated date for new release.
233 - Added Qianqian Fang's name to COPYRIGHT strings, for his glyph
234 contributions in "font/plane00/wqy.hex".
235 * hangul/hangul-generation.html: removed references to three footer
236 "<img>" links that pointed to external websites. Those external
237 icons were saved locally when the original web page
238 http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html was saved in
239 the "hangul/" directory. That web page is the most comprehensive
240 documentation of the effort to create the Hangul Syllables block
242 * hangul/hangul-generation_files: removed three external icon files
243 ("valid-html401.png", "vccs.gif", and "w3c_ab.gif") that were saved
244 locally when http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html
246 * src/unibmp2hex.c: increased size of "wide" array to be 0x200000,
247 to cover the entire range of Unicode.

263 support beyond the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane.
265 - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
266 - Add unifont_upper font files for Plane 1 through Plane 14 glyphs.
267 - Add unifont_upper_csur font files for Plane 1 through Plane 15
268 glyphs (currently there are no glyphs for Plane 16, the highest
269 plane that the Unicode Standard allows).
270 - Create Unifont-APL8x16.psf.gz console font file, to support
271 running GNU APL and other APL implementations in console mode.
272 This font is a 512 glyph subset of Unifont.
273 * font/Makefile (bigpic): construct giant glyph picture using
274 font/plane00/*.hex rather than font/compiled/unifont_sample*.hex,
275 because the latter doesn't contain glyphs for U+FFFE or U+FFFF
276 (removed to appease MS Windows).
277 * font/Makefile (hex): added egrep -v "^FFF[EF]" to make sure
278 U+FFFE and U+FFFF are removed from font, for Windows XP.

283 * font/plane00/nonprinting.hex: removed U+FFFE and U+FFFF to
284 appease MS Windows XP (see font/plane00/omit.hex entry below).
285 * font/plane00/omit.hex: consists of U+FFFE and U+FFFF, for the
286 sake of MS Windows XP.
287 * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: Further tweaks to APL glyphs.
289 - Created ConScript Unicode Registry directory, for glyphs in Michael
290 Everson's PUA mapping ("http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/").
291 - Added contributions of Wojciech Stryjewski: Tengwar and Klingon.
292 - Added contributions of Andrew Miller: Kinya (partial), aUI,
293 Gargoyle, Ewellic, Unifon, Solresol, Visible Speech, and Monofon.
294 - Added contributions of Paul Hardy: Cirth and Aiha.
295 * font/plane01: created directory for Unicode Plane 1 glyphs.

300 Tai Xuan Jing Symbols, Counting Rod Numerals, Mathematical
301 Alphanumeric Symbols (partial), Mahjong Tiles, Domino Tiles,
302 Playing Cards, Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement, and Miscellaneous
303 Symbols and Pictographs (partial).

310 Variation Selectors Supplement.
311 * font/plane0Fcsur: added glyphs from Michael Everson's ConScript
312 Unicode Registry (CSUR) contriubted by Andrew Miller: Kinya Syllables.
313 * font/psf: added directory with files to build new PSF font version,
314 to allow APL use under GNU/Linux in console mode.
315 * font/ttfsrc: simplified directory to only contain a Makefile;
316 other files were moved to "font/plane00/" as a precursor to allow
317 parallel building of multiple fonts.
318 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile:
319 - Updated VERSION date.
320 - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
321 * hangul/README: changed mention of "font/hexsrc" to new location
323 * man/hexkinya.1: added man page for Andrew Miller's hexkinya Perl
324 script, also cross-referenced in all other man pages.
325 * src/hexkinya: new script by Andrew Miller to generate Kinya Private
326 Use Area glyphs in Plane 15, saved under "font/plane0Fcsur/".
327 * src/unibmp2hex.c: added forced double width for appropriate
328 Plane 1 (Supplemental Multilingual Plane) scripts now that
329 this package extends beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane.
330 * src/unipagecount.c: corrected license from GPL3+ to GPL2+.
332 2013-12-21 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
334 * Version: 6.3.20131221.
335 * ChangeLog: corrected date on last entry from 12-27 to 12-17.

338 in APL: U+22F8, U+233B, U+233E, U+235B, and U+2364.
339 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: commented out SetFontNames function calls
340 in fontforge. Not all applications were interpreting that data
341 correctly. For example, in LibreOffice, it listed the font as
342 the foundry name ("GNU") rather than the foundry name plus the
343 font name ("GNU Unifont") or just the font name. That is a bug
344 in LibreOffice, so if such things are fixed in the future then
345 these calls can be re-introduced.
347 - Rearranged some properties (cosmetic change).
348 - Changed default font name from "unifont" to "Unifont".
349 * src/unigencircles.c: changed subscript from MAXSTRING to
350 MAXSTRING-1 at line 61.
352 2013-12-17 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

355 * doc/Makefile: removed redirection of texi2pdf output.
356 * doc/unifont.pdf: rebuilt file.
358 - Don't modify PCF fonts with FontForge, which alters them
359 so grub-mkfont can't read them.
360 - In font/compiled, insert $(VERSION) into unifont.sfd name.
361 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile (clean): remove *.bdf, so unifont_sample.bdf
363 * README: removed date stamp at top of file.
365 2013-12-15 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
367 * Version: 6.3.20131215.
368 * src/unihex2png: new program to convert unifont.hex to PNG image.
369 * src/unipng2hex: new program to convert PNG image to unifont.hex.
371 - Added new XLFD properties for font generation for FreeType and
372 grub-mkfont support; includes version & copyright info.
373 - Fields now begin with upper-case, including "unifont"-->"Unifont".
374 - Changed POINT_SIZE property from 160 to 120.
375 - Added "Sans" style name to FONT string plus XLFD property.
376 - Added command line options for font name, version, & glyph height.
377 - Allow generation of fonts with other than 16 pixel rows/glyph, to
378 support new capabilities of unihex2png, unipng2hex, and hexdraw.
379 * src/unidup.c: now takes an optional file name on the command line.
380 * src/*.c: reformatted to follow GNU Coding Standards.
381 * man/*: Updated man pages to reflect new options, new programs,
382 and to reflect the GPLv2+ license now common to all programs.
383 * doc/: new directory with Texinfo files.
384 * ChangeLog: created new file.
385 * COPYING: created new file.
386 * INSTALL: file created using BUILDING section from old README file.
387 * LICENSE: removed; its contents are in README and COPYING now.
388 * NEWS: created new file.
389 * Makefiles: added "SHELL = /bin/sh" if not already declared.
390 * Makefiles (distclean): added removal of "*~" if not already declared.
391 * Makefile: compress text files with "gzip -f -9" during installation.
392 * font/Makefile: fontforge scripting updated; now adds font copyright,
393 license, version and other info to PCF files.
394 * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex:
395 - Redrew several Armenian letters (U+0530..U+058F).
396 - Redrew Capricorn symbol (U+2651).
397 - Redrew CJK Radical Supplement glyphs: U+2E9F, U+2EA9, U+2EAC,
398 U+2EAE, U+2EC0, U+2EDE, U+2EE7, and U+2EED.
399 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: fontforge scripting command changed from
400 "Simplify(-1,1)" to "Simplify(64,1)" to "merge lines which are
401 nearly parallel into one". This decreases the TrueType file size
402 by almost 2 Megabytes, by reducing the number of control points
403 for a glyph. Also add font copyright, license, version, and
404 other info to TTF files.
405 * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: now builds SBIT font unifont_sample.ttf.
406 * unifontall-*: renamed to "unifont_sample-*".
407 * *.bdf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with hex2bdf.
408 * *.pcf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
409 * *.ttf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
410 * font/*/unifont-*.bmp: Create chart of entire Unifont using pre-built
411 unifont_sample.hex rather than assembling *.hex just for this image.
412 * hangul/hangul-generation.html: updated to correct a typo, where
413 rieul was mentioned as an initial consonant instead of a final
414 consonant in an explanation of vertical spacing constraints.
416 - Updated hex2bdf parameters to name generated BDF font
417 "Unifont Johab" rather than "unifont" and add copyright.
418 - Used a sed script to change BDF encoding from ISO10646 to "Johab".
419 - Call bdftopcf to create hangul-base.pcf, then compress with gzip.
