2014-02-02 Paul Hardy * Makefiles: updated date for new release. * NEWS: updated for new release. * README: updated for new release, notably mentioning that "font/hexsrc" has been renamed to "font/plane00". * doc/: regenerated unifont.txt, unifont.info, and unifont.pdf files after addition of doc/hexkinya.texi. * doc/Makefile (docprep): added new target to remove the files created by "make doc", in preparation for running "make doc" again. * doc/hexkinya.texi: added Texinfo file for hexkinya Perl script. * doc/unifont.texi: updated file to reflect "font/hexsrc" being renamed to "font/plane00" and made other changes to reflect support beyond the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane. * font/Makefile: - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string. - Add unifont_upper font files for Plane 1 through Plane 14 glyphs. - Add unifont_upper_csur font files for Plane 1 through Plane 15 glyphs (currently there are no glyphs for Plane 16, the highest plane that the Unicode Standard allows). - Create Unifont-APL8x16.psf.gz console font file, to support running GNU APL and other APL implementations in console mode. This font is a 512 glyph subset of Unifont. * font/Makefile (bigpic): construct giant glyph picture using font/plane00/*.hex rather than font/compiled/unifont_sample*.hex, because the latter doesn't contain glyphs for U+FFFE or U+FFFF (removed to appease MS Windows). * font/Makefile (hex): added egrep -v "^FFF[EF]" to make sure U+FFFE and U+FFFF are removed from font, for Windows XP. * font/plane00: new name of previous "font/hexsrc" directory, now that this package contains multiple Unicode planes. * font/plane00/README: updated to mention new "omit.hex" file. * font/plane00/bmp-combining.txt: formerly "font/ttfsrc/combining.txt". * font/plane00/nonprinting.hex: removed U+FFFE and U+FFFF to appease MS Windows XP (see font/plane00/omit.hex entry below). * font/plane00/omit.hex: consists of U+FFFE and U+FFFF, for the sake of MS Windows XP. * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: Further tweaks to APL glyphs. * font/plane00csur: - Created ConScript Unicode Registry directory, for glyphs in Michael Everson's PUA mapping ("http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/"). - Added contributions of Wojciech Stryjewski: Tengwar and Klingon. - Added contributions of Andrew Miller: Kinya (partial), aUI, Gargoyle, Ewellic, Unifon, Solresol, Visible Speech, and Monofon. - Added contributions of Paul Hardy: Cirth and Aiha. * font/plane01: created directory for Unicode Plane 1 glyphs. - Added glyphs contributed by Roman Czyborra and Andrew Miller: Old Italic. - Added glyphs contributed by Andrew Miller: Ancient Symbols, Lycian, Carian, Ugaritic, Old Persian, Musical Symbols, Tai Xuan Jing Symbols, Counting Rod Numerals, Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (partial), Mahjong Tiles, Domino Tiles, Playing Cards, Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement, and Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs (partial). - Added glyphs contributed by Paul Hardy: Linear B Syllabary, Linear B Ideograms, Aegean Numbers, Ancient Greek Numbers, Gothic, Deseret, Shavian, Osmanya, Cypriot Syllabary, Phoenecian, Kharoshthi, Byzantine Musical Symbols, and Ancient Greek Musical Notation. * font/plane0E: added scripts contributed by Andrew Miller: Tags and Variation Selectors Supplement. * font/plane0Fcsur: added glyphs from Michael Everson's ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) contriubted by Andrew Miller: Kinya Syllables. * font/psf: added directory with files to build new PSF font version, to allow APL use under GNU/Linux in console mode. * font/ttfsrc: simplified directory to only contain a Makefile; other files were moved to "font/plane00/" as a precursor to allow parallel building of multiple fonts. * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: - Updated VERSION date. - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string. * hangul/README: changed mention of "font/hexsrc" to new location of "font/plane00". * man/hexkinya.1: added man page for Andrew Miller's hexkinya Perl script, also cross-referenced in all other man pages. * src/hexkinya: new script by Andrew Miller to generate Kinya Private Use Area glyphs in Plane 15, saved under "font/plane0Fcsur/". * src/unibmp2hex.c: added forced double width for appropriate Plane 1 (Supplemental Multilingual Plane) scripts now that this package extends beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane. * src/unipagecount.c: corrected license from GPL3+ to GPL2+. 2013-12-21 Paul Hardy * ChangeLog: corrected date on last entry from 12-27 to 12-17. * Makefiles: updated date for new release. * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex: Modified glyphs to appear better in APL: U+22F8, U+233B, U+233E, U+235B, and U+2364. * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: commented out SetFontNames function calls in fontforge. Not all applications were interpreting that data correctly. For example, in LibreOffice, it listed the font as the foundry name ("GNU") rather than the foundry name plus the font name ("GNU Unifont") or just the font name. That is a bug in LibreOffice, so if such things are fixed in the future then these calls can be re-introduced. * src/hex2bdf: - Rearranged some properties (cosmetic change). - Changed default font name from "unifont" to "Unifont". * src/unigencircles.c: changed subscript from MAXSTRING to MAXSTRING-1 at line 61. 2013-12-17 Paul Hardy * doc/Makefile: removed redirection of texi2pdf output. * doc/unifont.pdf: rebuilt file. * font/Makefile: - Don't modify PCF fonts with FontForge, which alters them so grub-mkfont can't read them. - In font/compiled, insert $(VERSION) into unifont.sfd name. * font/ttfsrc/Makefile (clean): remove *.bdf, so unifont_sample.bdf is removed. * README: removed date stamp at top of file. 2013-12-15 Paul Hardy * src/unihex2png: new program to convert unifont.hex to PNG image. * src/unipng2hex: new program to convert PNG image to unifont.hex. * src/hex2bdf: - Added new XLFD properties for font generation for FreeType and grub-mkfont support; includes version & copyright info. - Fields now begin with upper-case, including "unifont"-->"Unifont". - Changed POINT_SIZE property from 160 to 120. - Added "Sans" style name to FONT string plus XLFD property. - Added command line options for font name, version, & glyph height. - Allow generation of fonts with other than 16 pixel rows/glyph, to support new capabilities of unihex2png, unipng2hex, and hexdraw. * src/unidup.c: now takes an optional file name on the command line. * src/*.c: reformatted to follow GNU Coding Standards. * man/*: Updated man pages to reflect new options, new programs, and to reflect the GPLv2+ license now common to all programs. * doc/: new directory with Texinfo files. * ChangeLog: created new file. * COPYING: created new file. * INSTALL: file created using BUILDING section from old README file. * LICENSE: removed; its contents are in README and COPYING now. * NEWS: created new file. * Makefiles: added "SHELL = /bin/sh" if not already declared. * Makefiles (distclean): added removal of "*~" if not already declared. * Makefile: compress text files with "gzip -f -9" during installation. * font/Makefile: fontforge scripting updated; now adds font copyright, license, version and other info to PCF files. * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex: - Redrew several Armenian letters (U+0530..U+058F). - Redrew Capricorn symbol (U+2651). - Redrew CJK Radical Supplement glyphs: U+2E9F, U+2EA9, U+2EAC, U+2EAE, U+2EC0, U+2EDE, U+2EE7, and U+2EED. * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: fontforge scripting command changed from "Simplify(-1,1)" to "Simplify(64,1)" to "merge lines which are nearly parallel into one". This decreases the TrueType file size by almost 2 Megabytes, by reducing the number of control points for a glyph. Also add font copyright, license, version, and other info to TTF files. * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: now builds SBIT font unifont_sample.ttf. * unifontall-*: renamed to "unifont_sample-*". * *.bdf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with hex2bdf. * *.pcf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge. * *.ttf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge. * font/*/unifont-*.bmp: Create chart of entire Unifont using pre-built unifont_sample.hex rather than assembling *.hex just for this image. * hangul/hangul-generation.html: updated to correct a typo, where rieul was mentioned as an initial consonant instead of a final consonant in an explanation of vertical spacing constraints. * hangul/Makefile: - Updated hex2bdf parameters to name generated BDF font "Unifont Johab" rather than "unifont" and add copyright. - Used a sed script to change BDF encoding from ISO10646 to "Johab". - Call bdftopcf to create hangul-base.pcf, then compress with gzip. - Add "precompiled:" target to create basic Johab font files. 2013-10-20 Paul Hardy * First GNU Project version.
