unifont-6.3.
20140204.tar.gz
* Makefiles:
- Updated date for new release.
- Added Qianqian Fang's name to COPYRIGHT strings, for his glyph
contributions in "font/plane00/wqy.hex".
* hangul/hangul-generation.html: removed references to three footer
"<img>" links that pointed to external websites. Those external
icons were saved locally when the original web page
http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html was saved in
the "hangul/" directory. That web page is the most comprehensive
documentation of the effort to create the Hangul Syllables block
from scratch.
* hangul/hangul-generation_files: removed three external icon files
("valid-html401.png", "vccs.gif", and "w3c_ab.gif") that were saved
locally when http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html
was saved.
* src/unibmp2hex.c: increased size of "wide" array to be 0x200000,
to cover the entire range of Unicode.
unifont-6.3.
20140202.tar.gz
* 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.

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, Phoenician,
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+.
unifont-6.3.
20131221.tar.gz
* 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.
unifont-6.3.
20131215.tar.gz
* 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.

* 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.
