Features:
- Arabic (and Urdu) support added (design by Mohamad Dakak) (#84)
- See the Arabic features PDF for the exciting new Arabic ligature
functionality used in Cascadia Code that gives the font greatly improved
readability and feel more more akin to a text typeface.
- Don't want all that? Don't worry, Cascadia Mono will house a normal
version of Arabic.
- Hebrew support added (design by Liron Lavi Turkenich) (#465)
- Due to popular demand, we've introduced a more "toned-down" version of
Cascadia Italic, which does away with a number of the cursive letter forms.
(#468)
- Entry and exit strokes across the italic lowercase have been rounded
to better achieve the fun / playful design language that we intended
for the italic. Other skeletons have been modified as necessary.
Cyrillic has also been updated for better consistency with the new
design.
- You can now activate the original cursive versions of /f /l /s and
/r with typographic feature salt or ss01.
Changes:
- We have adjusted the slant on all of the italic letters to make sure it's
consistent (#470)
- Italic Only: #507 - bar and broken bar will now stay upright for better
clarity
- Fixing a bug in the ccmp feature file and added ccmp to the feature
set in the build script.
- Deleting the (unused) liga feature file
- Vika has reviewed and improved some forms in Cascadia Code upright.
- Greek lowercase has been updated per feedback from Gerry Leonidas to
be more cohesive (No longer a mix between a "Monday" and "Friday" font.
All Friday, all the time!)
- #422 - Bitcoin glyph added
- #427 - FFFD glyph added
- #418 - top bar corrected
- #433 - hinting corrected to ensure alignment
- #435 - adds consistent ligature form for =>> <<= =<< and
>>= (the infinite arrows still work with addition of more equals)
- #443 - ligature now ignores (*) scenario
- #454 - adds ignore to prevent equal_equal ligature from showing up
- #467 - Not specifically sure of the problem here, but suspect that it will
be fixed with this - update.
- #477, #478, #479, #480 - interpolation issues fixes in a lot of ligatures
- #481 - JetBrains enumerates fonts weird. We've modified the internal naming
so that it will register Cascadia Code correctly. Also aligned postscript
naming with Google's recommendation, so will show up as "Regular" instead of
"Roman".
- General improvement of weight balancing
- Weight of lowercase rounds reduced in the Bold weight in Cascadia Code.
- Weight of Capital stems increased in Extralight weight in Cascadia Code.
- Tweaked weight of ogonek in ExtraLight.
- Added a localized form for ij and IJ should a user chose to use those
codepoints and want an accented version.
- Split fraction bar at heavier weights to improve clarity of fractions.
- Adjusted standard box drawing characters to align with GDI metrics, and added
a complete set of DWrite-specific ones that align with sTypo (using rclt).
- Ironed out some tiny inconsistencies in the <$ $> <$> ligatures which
we suspect no one will ever notice.
- Fixed centering of braces and some hyphens.
- Fixed inconsistency between semicolon/colon and period weight in bold. Also
fixed slight differences in hyphen-like glyphs in bold. You're as surprised
as we are.
- Increased weight of underscore in bold.
- Changed design of commaaccent, commaaccentmod commaturnedabove and commaabove
to be more distinguishable (following design of quotes).
- Fixed descents of various greek lowercase glyphs that were inconsistent.
- Felt ligated, might edit later.
- Corrected some additional interpolation bugs
0.301:
- Oopsie-release: The last one was missing PostScript names for the new glyphs.
Only relevant for when extracting text from PDFs where the generator omitted
the text stream.
- Rounded coordinates of macronbelowcomb.narrow and macroncomb.narrow.case.
Leftovers from when they were scaled components.
- Internal: Removed stale layers and data, added normalization script to prune
unnecessary data. import-glyphs.py also imports PostScript names now.
0.300:
- Import Greek glyph set designed by Florian Fecher for GSoC 2018. No kerning,
might need a slight respacing. Imported anyway because something is better
than nothing.
- Correct positioning of dotaccentcomb.case.
- Correct mark positioning in caroncomb.case.
- Correct appearance of ustraightstroke in variable font, the overlap became
visible at smaller, autohinted sizes.
- Correct bar positioning in Ustraightstroke and ustraightstroke
- Correct anchor positioning in Y
- Internal: Consolidate various anchors in composites into the base outline
glyphs, to reduce the chance they get out sync.
- New appstream translations:
- Norwegian Bokmal by Kjartan Maraas
- Bengali (India) by Akarshan Biswas
- Portuguese by Joao Nuno Matos
- Japanese by Shinichirou Yamada and sicklylife
Overview of changes leading to 2.8.1
Tuesday, May 4, 2021
====================================
- Subsetter now fully supports GSUB/GPOS/GDEF tables (including variations); as
such, layout tables are retained by subsetter by default. (Garret Rieger, Qunxin Liu)
- Build scripts no longer check for FontConfig as HarfBuzz does not use it.
- hb-view supports iTerm2 and kitty inline image protocols (Khaled Hosny),
it can also use Chafa for terminal graphics if available (Hans Petter Jansson).

Spleen 1.9.1 (2021-06-13)
- Tweak wsfont export program to account for the new block in the 6x12 version
- Mention that Haiku now uses Spleen 12x24 in the trivia section
- Fix paths to wsfont generators
- Add an 'otb' target to generate OTB files for all sizes using fonttosfnt
- Also remove generated .otb files in the 'clean' target
- Generate .dfont files again in release tarballs
- Generate OTB versions in release tarballs

1. Cleaned up (hopefully all) references to licensing to not withstand our
claim that the package is under Knuth license. 2. In many places encoding
of texts changed to UTF-8, to make them easier to read. 3. Functionality
should be same.
* Allow using variable fonts without explicitly specifying any
axis values
* The fontloader has been synced with the context code from
2021-05-20
* Multiple small fixes, mostly concerning discretionaries in harf
mode.
General:
* Donald Knuth’s changes for his 2021 tuneup of TeX and Metafont are
incorporated (https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-1/tb130knuth-tuneup21.pdf). They
are also available on CTAN as the knuth-dist and knuth-local packages. As
expected, the fixes are for obscure cases and do not affect any behavior in
practice.
* Except in original TeX: if \tracinglostchars is set to 3 or more, missing
characters will result in an error, not just a message in the log file, and
the missing character code will be shown in hex.
* Except in original TeX: a new integer parameter \tracingstacklevels, if
positive, and \tracingmacros is also positive, causes a prefix indicating the
macro expansion depth to be output on each relevant log line (e.g., ~.. at
depth 2). Also, macro logging is truncated at a depth ≥ the parameter value.
Aleph: The Aleph-based LaTeX format, named lamed, has been removed. The aleph
binary itself is still included and supported.
LuaTeX:
* Lua 5.3.6.
* Callback for nesting level used in \tracingmacros, as generalized variant
of the new \tracingstacklevels.
* Mark math glyphs as protected to prevent processing as text.
* Removed width/ic compensation for traditional math code path.
MetaPost:
* SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable support for reproducible output.
* Avoid wrong final % in mpto.
* Document -T option, other fixes to manual.
* Value of epsilon changed in binary and decimal modes, so mp_solve_rising_cubic
works as expected.
pdfTeX:
* New primitives \pdfrunninglinkoff and \pdfrunninglinkon; e.g., for
disabling generation of links in headers and footers.
* Warn instead of aborting when “\pdfendlink ended up in different nesting
level than \pdfstartlink”.
* Dump \pdfglyphtounicode assignments in fmt file.
* Source: poppler support removed, as it was too hard to keep in sync with
upstream. In native TL, pdfTeX has always used libs/xpdf, which is cut-down
and adapted code from xpdf.
XeTeX: Fixes for math kerning.
Dvipdfmx:
* Ghostscript is now invoked safely by default; to override (assuming all
input files are trusted), use -i dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg. To use PSTricks with
XeTeX, this is required, as in:
xetex -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -i dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg -q -E" ...
* If an image file is not found, exit with bad status.
* Extended special syntax for color support.
* Specials for manipulating ExtGState.
* Compatibility specials pdfcolorstack and pdffontattr.
* Experimental support for dviluatex’s extended fnt_def.
* Support new feature of virtual font to fallback Japanese font definition.
Dvips:
* Default PostScript document title is now the basename of the input file,
and can be overridden with the new option -title.
* If an .eps or other image file is not found, exit with bad status.
* Support new feature of virtual font to fallback Japanese font definition.
This release fixes a number of small inconsistencies in the STIX Two Math.
The most significant change is that the widths of many of the mathematical
operators and related characters have been revised to be more consistent
with one another.
New features:
- Compact virtual fonts.
- Add support for the ruby family.
This version requires a new version of DVI driver that supports
new feature of virtual font to fallback Japanese font definition
available in TeX Live 2021.
1. Cleaned up (hopefully all) references to licensing to not withstand our
claim that the package is under Knuth license.
2. In many places encoding of texts changed to UTF-8, to make them easier
to read.
3. Functionality should be same.
4.24.4 (released 2021-05-25)
----------------------------
- [subset/instancer] Fixed ``AttributeError`` when instantiating a VF that
contains GPOS ValueRecords with ``Device`` tables but without the respective
non-Device values (e.g. ``XAdvDevice`` without ``XAdvance``). When not
explicitly set, the latter are assumed to be 0.
4.24.3 (released 2021-05-20)
----------------------------
- [otTables] Fixed ``AttributeError`` in methods that split LigatureSubst,
MultipleSubst and AlternateSubst subtables when an offset overflow occurs.
The ``Format`` attribute was removed in v4.22.0.
4.24.2 (released 2021-05-20)
----------------------------
- [ttGlyphPen] Fixed typing annotation of TTGlyphPen glyphSet parameter.
- Fixed two instances of DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence.
4.24.1 (released 2021-05-20)
----------------------------
- [subset] Fixed AttributeError when SinglePos subtable has None Value (ValueFormat 0)
4.24.0 (released 2021-05-17)
----------------------------
- [pens] Add ``ttGlyphPen.TTGlyphPointPen`` similar to ``TTGlyphPen``.
4.23.1 (released 2021-05-14)
----------------------------
- [subset] Fix ``KeyError`` after subsetting ``COLR`` table that initially contains
both v0 and v1 color glyphs when the subset only requested v1 glyphs; we were
not pruning the v0 portion of the table.
- [colorLib] Set ``LayerV1List`` attribute to ``None`` when empty, it's optional
in CORLv1.
4.23.0 (released 2021-05-13)
----------------------------
- [designspaceLib] Allow to use ``\\UNC`` absolute paths on Windows.
- [varLib.merger] Fixed bug where ``VarLibMergeError`` was raised with incorrect
parameters.
- [feaLib] Allow substituting a glyph class with ``NULL`` to delete multiple glyphs
.
- [glyf] Fixed ``NameError`` exception in ``getPhantomPoints``.
- [removeOverlaps] Retry pathops.simplify after rounding path coordinates to integers
if it fails the first time using floats, to work around a rare and hard to debug
Skia bug.
- [varLib] Added support for building, reading, writing and optimizing 32-bit
``ItemVariationStore`` as used in COLRv1 table.
- [otBase/otConverters] Add array readers/writers for int types.
- [feaLib] Allow more than one lookahead glyph/class in contextual positioning with
"value at end".
- [COLRv1] Default varIdx should be 0xFFFFFFFF.
- [pens] Make RecordingPointPen actually pass on identifiers; replace asserts with
explicit ``PenError`` exception.
- [mutator] Round lsb for CF2 fonts as well.
4.22.1 (released 2021-04-26)
----------------------------
- [feaLib] Skip references to named lookups if the lookup block definition
is empty, similarly to makeotf. This also fixes an ``AttributeError`` while
generating ``aalt`` feature.
- [subset] Fixed bug with ``--no-hinting`` implementation for Device tables.
The previous code was alwyas dropping Device tables if no-hinting was
requested, but some Device tables (DeltaFormat=0x8000) are also used to encode
variation indices and need to be retained.
- [otBase] Fixed bug in getting the ValueRecordSize when decompiling ``MVAR``
table with ``lazy=True``.
- [varLib/glyf/gvar] Optimized and simplified ``GlyphCoordinates`` and
``TupleVariation`` classes, use ``bytearray`` where possible, refactored
phantom-points calculations. We measured about 30% speedup in total time
of loading master ttfs, building gvar, and saving.
- [subset] Fixed ``AssertionError`` while pruning unused CPAL palettes when
``0xFFFF`` is present.
4.22.0 (released 2021-04-01)
----------------------------
- [ttLib] Remove .Format from Coverage, ClassDef, SingleSubst, LigatureSubst,
AlternateSubst, MultipleSubst.
ATTENTION: This will change your TTX dumps!
- [misc.arrayTools] move Vector to its own submodule, and rewrite as a tuple
subclass.
- [docs] Added a terminology section for varLib.
- [varLib] Move rounding to VariationModel, to avoid error accumulation from
multiple deltas

cursed_font is a 9x18 bitmapped font designed for low-DPI screens. It was
originally an embiggened and monospace-ified version of Apple's Chicago font
from System 6, but it also takes inspiration from many other fonts such as
bizcat, ttyp0, tamzen, scientifica.

4.21.0 (released 2021-02-26)
[feaLib] Indent anchor statements in asFea() to make them more legible and diff-able.
[pens] Turn AbstractPen and AbstractPointPen into abstract base classes.
[feaLib] Added support for parsing and building STAT table from AFDKO feature files.

[feaLib] Allow sub X by NULL sequence to delete a glyph.
[arrayTools] Fixed Vector division.
[COLRv1] Define new PaintSweepGradient.
[otTables] Moved Paint.Format enum class outside of Paint class definition, now named PaintFormat. It was clashing with paint instance Format attribute and thus was breaking lazy load of COLR table which relies on magic __getattr__.
[COLRv1] Replace hand-coded builder functions with otData-driven dynamic implementation.
[COLRv1] Define additional static (non-variable) Paint formats.
[subset] Added support for subsetting COLR v1 and CPAL tables.

[COLRv1] Support building unlimited lists of paints as 255-ary trees of PaintColrLayers tables.
[subset] Prune redundant format-12 cmap subtables when all non-BMP characters are dropped.
[basePen] Raise MissingComponentError instead of bare KeyError when a referenced component is missing
This is already in pkgsrc as UnifrakturMaguntia-ttf.
And I imported it there last year.
Seems I liked this font so much I thought it should be in pkgsrc twice!
