Overview of changes leading to 2.6.2
Monday, September 30, 2019
====================================
- Misc small fixes, mostly to build-related issues.
If the base fontconfig is old, and some but not all fontconfig-using
packages need newer, we end up with some binaries having two different
fontconfigs. Adjust fontconfig's API_DEPENDS to 2.11.91, because
pango needs at least that. This means that pkgsrc fontconfig will
always be used on netbsd-8.
The only sound approach appears to be a hard choice of system vs
pkgsrc fontconfig, without per-package overrides, but that's a bigger
step. We could also consider changing API_DEPENDS to match the pkgsrc
fontconfig, so base is only used if newer.
(Needs a revbump.)
As discussed on tech-pkg.
ChangeLog:
- Add link to instructions on how to enable bitmap fonts support on Ubuntu
- Add a Makefile target to generate a specimen file
- Add full support for the Braille Patterns Unicode block
- Add light box drawings characters for the 16x32 and 32x64 versions
OK kamil@
ChangeLog:
- Add full support for the Latin Extended-A Unicode block
- Add euro symbol
- Character at position CB is 'E' with diaeresis, not with tilde (12x24 version)
- Character at position D6 is 'O' with diaeresis, not with tilde (12x24 version)
- Character at position DC is 'U' with diaeresis, not with tilde (12x24 version)
- Fix tilde alignment in the 'o' with tilde character (32x64 version)
- Fix middle bar thickness in the upper case 'eth' character (12x24 version)
- Fix ring alignment for the 'A' and 'a' characters (16x32 and 32x64 versions)
- Remove strain pixel on the '3' and 'k' characters (32x64 version)
- Remove fillers for characters other than ISO 8859-1 ones (5x8 version)
OK kamil@
Along with the usual bugfixes, there have been a couple of new features worth calling out:
Added Croatian translation
Added user decompositions
New graphic for the splash/about screen
Images embedded in SFDs are now serialised as PNGs
This is enabled by default, but may be turned off with the 'WritePNGInSFD' option.
A new tag is used to identify this mode; 'Image2', instead of 'Image'
This requires FontForge to be compiled with libpng support. If not compiled with libpng, FontForge will revert to the old method of serialising RLE encoded raw images.
As part of an ongoing effort to clean up the code base, there have additionally been multiple build system changes:
Python 2 support is deprecated. It is strongly recommended to build with Python 3 support. Python 2 support will be removed in a future release.
Both the Windows and Mac builds are now built with Python 3 instead of Python 2.
The minimum supported version for the Mac build is now MacOS Sierra (10.12)
FontForge no longer uses gnulib
collab support has been removed
The build system now expects libuninameslist to be present, and will fail if it is not found. Building without libuninameslist must be explcititly specified using --without-libuninameslist

IBM-plex-otf provides the OpenType fonts of the Plex font family.
It comes in a Sans, Serif, Mono and Sans Condensed, all with
roman and true italics.
The fonts have been designed to work well in
user interface (UI) environments as well as other mediums.

It comes in a Sans, Serif, Mono and Sans Condensed, all with
roman and true italics.
The fonts have been designed to work well in
user interface (UI) environments as well as other mediums.
This is an update of esint. There are new options intlimits and nointlimits
(like amsmath), and \idotsint is an alias of old \dotsint command to get all
the new symbols when using amsmath.
- The fontloader has been synced with the context files from 2019-07-04.
- A number of small bugs has been resolved, see NEWS
- fonts can now be embolden

- fixed error checking after calls to otfinfo
This update to the gentium-tug package changes only the
lgr-gentiumplus-regular.tfm and lgr-gentiumplus-italic.tfm
metric files. Now, as expected for the LGR encoding, a sigma
at the end of a word, or followed by punctuation, will be
automatically changed (via the TeX/MF ligature mechanism)
to a final sigma. All the pfb/ttf/etc. files, and all the
other metric files, are unchanged. The documentation is
slightly updated.
Big thanks to Ralf Stubner for suggesting and then implementing this!
The major addition in this gentium-tug TeX package remains
Type 1 fonts corresponding to the TrueType originals. These
incorporate the name "Gentium" by permission of SIL given to
the TeX Users Group. The package also includes support files
for LaTeX and ConTeXt, and TeX-specific documentation
discussing the supported encodings, etc.

kanji glyphs from the public domain Jiskan16 font.
* Contains redrawn Devanagari and Bengali glyphs with
narrower consonants for better superimposing of vowels.

dynamic harfbuzz from fonts/harfbuzz.

- use only standard NFSS codes for width and weight in fd files
- create $TEXMFHOME when it doesn't exist (but only if $TEXMFLOCAL
isn't user-writable, since that's still the default output tree)
- in manual mode, put all generated files into a subdir "autoinst_output/",
instead of all over the current dir
- add 'auto' value to the -inferiors option; autoinst will use
whatever inferior characters the font contains
- more relevant logfiles
- better mapping of NFSS codes to actual fonts
- new command-line options to fine-tune that mapping even further
- handle fonts who put small caps into separate families
- improved handling of Titling fonts
- don't add f-ligatures to typewriter fonts
Changes in ot2kpx:
- kerning data can now also be output as a Luatex custom font feature, for
use with \directlua.
Supports standard NFSS series codes. New macros for localized use of
non-default weights and figure styles.
Support for LGR encoding.
Condensed fonts now accessible using standard c series codes.
