Version 4.49.1:
* Fixed install-otb and uninstall-otb to use otbdir instead of x11dir.
Version 4.49:
* Added Open Type Bitmap support.
* Altered ascii grave in some sizes to be more useful as a back quote.
* Fixed 21B5, added 21B2 and 21B3.
No longer beta, and the distfile contains many more fonts files,
including OTF and WOFF2 versions. However, for now only install the same
fonts as before but in OTF format.
Train (distributed as "Railway" in Japan by Fontworks) is a
gothic-style typeface made with an outer and inner line. It is open
and vibrant, and its strong first impression makes it suitable for
logos and titles.

4.18.2 (released 2020-12-16)
----------------------------
- [COLRv1] Implemented ``PaintTranslate`` paint format.
- [varLib.cff] Fixed unbound local variable error.
- [otlLib] Don't crash when creating OpenType class definitions if some glyphs
occur more than once.
4.18.1 (released 2020-12-09)
----------------------------
- [colorLib] Speed optimization for ``LayerV1ListBuilder``.
- [mutator] Fixed missing tab in ``interpolate_cff2_metrics`` (0957dc7a).

- [woff2] Support new ``brotlicffi`` bindings for PyPy.
- [glifLib] Added ``expectContentsFile`` parameter to ``GlyphSet``, for use when
reading existing UFOs, to comply with the specification stating that a
``contents.plist`` file must exist in a glyph set.
- [subset] Allow ``LangSys`` tags in ``--layout-scripts`` option. For example:
``--layout-scripts=arab.dflt,arab.URD,latn``; this will keep ``DefaultLangSys``
and ``URD`` language for ``arab`` script, and all languages for ``latn`` script.
- [varLib.interpolatable] Allow UFOs to be checked; report open paths, non existant
glyphs; add a ``--json`` option to produce a machine-readable list of

possible
Jomolhari is a Tibetan script Uchen font created by Christopher Fynn,
freely available under the Open Font License. It supports text
encoded using the Unicode Standard and the Chinese national standard
for encoding characters of the Tibetan script (GB/T20524-2006 "Tibetan
Coded Character Set"). The design of the font is based on Bhutanese
manuscript examples and it is suitable for text in Tibetan, Dzongkha
and other languages written in the Tibetan script.

glyphs buffer.
Increase buffer work limits to handle fonts with many complex lookups.
Handle more shaping operations in trace output.
Memory access fixes.
More OOM fixes.
Improved documentation.
Build system improvements.
New API:
+hb_buffer_has_positions()
+hb_buffer_serialize()
+hb_buffer_serialize_unicode()
+hb_buffer_deserialize_unicode()
ChangeLog:
* font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
- Raised dentistry symbols U+23C0..U+23CA up one row, as they
were in Unifont 13.0.03, per recommendation of David Corbett
(Savannah Bug 59541).
* font/plane00csur/plane00csur.hex:
- U+EB60..U+EB9C (Braille Extended): added missing glyphs.
* font/plane01/plane01.hex:
- David Corbett contributed adjusted glyphs for arrow symbols
U+1D9A2..U+1D9A4 and U+1D9DF..U+1D9E1 (Savannah Bug 59629)..
4.17.1 (released 2020-11-16)
----------------------------
- [colorLib] Fixed regression in 4.17.0 when building COLR v0 table; when color
layers are stored in UFO lib plist, we can't distinguish tuples from lists so
we need to accept either types (e5439eb9, googlefonts/ufo2ft/issues#426).
4.17.0 (released 2020-11-12)
----------------------------
- [colorLib/otData] Updated to latest draft ``COLR`` v1 spec (#2092).
- [svgLib] Fixed parsing error when arc commands' boolean flags are not separated
by space or comma (#2094).
- [varLib] Interpret empty non-default glyphs as 'missing', if the default glyph is
not empty (#2082).
- [feaLib.builder] Only stash lookup location for ``Debg`` if ``Builder.buildLookups_``
has cooperated (#2065, #2067).
- [varLib] Fixed bug in VarStore optimizer (#2073, #2083).
- [varLib] Add designspace lib key for custom feavar feature tag (#2080).
- Add HashPointPen adapted from psautohint. With this pen, a hash value of a glyph
can be computed, which can later be used to detect glyph changes (#2005).
4.16.1 (released 2020-10-05)
----------------------------
- [varLib.instancer] Fixed ``TypeError`` exception when instantiating a VF with
a GSUB table 1.1 in which ``FeatureVariations`` attribute is present but set to
``None`` -- indicating that optional ``FeatureVariations`` is missing (#2077).
- [glifLib] Make ``x`` and ``y`` attributes of the ``point`` element required
even when validation is turned off, and raise a meaningful ``GlifLibError``
message when that happens (#2075).
4.16.0 (released 2020-09-30)
----------------------------
- [removeOverlaps] Added new module and ``removeOverlaps`` function that merges
overlapping contours and components in TrueType glyphs. It requires the
`skia-pathops <https://github.com/fonttools/skia-pathops>`__ module.
Note that removing overlaps invalidates the TrueType hinting (#2068).
- [varLib.instancer] Added ``--remove-overlaps`` command-line option.
The ``overlap`` option in ``instantiateVariableFont`` now takes an ``OverlapMode``
enum: 0: KEEP_AND_DONT_SET_FLAGS, 1: KEEP_AND_SET_FLAGS (default), and 2: REMOVE.
The latter is equivalent to calling ``removeOverlaps`` on the generated static
instance. The option continues to accept ``bool`` value for backward compatibility.
4.15.0 (released 2020-09-21)
----------------------------
- [plistlib] Added typing annotations to plistlib module. Set up mypy static
typechecker to run automatically on CI (#2061).
- [ttLib] Implement private ``Debg`` table, a reverse-DNS namespaced JSON dict.
- [feaLib] Optionally add an entry into the ``Debg`` table with the original
lookup name (if any), feature name / script / language combination (if any),
and original source filename and line location. Annotate the ttx output for
a lookup with the information from the Debg table (#2052).
- [sfnt] Disabled checksum checking by default in ``SFNTReader`` (#2058).
- [Docs] Document ``mtiLib`` module (#2027).
- [varLib.interpolatable] Added checks for contour node count and operation type
of each node (#2054).
- [ttLib] Added API to register custom table packer/unpacker classes (#2055).
A bunch of packages had an extra "p" specification character passed to
the pax -p option. One is enough. Committed to reduce the human parsing
costs, should someone else need to examine this. (In my case because it
seems recent Linux distros have changed such that some -p arguments can
now cause an error to occur, where previously they were accepted.)
2020-11-21: Release 13.0.04
* Font glyphs are now dual-licensed under the SIL Open Font
License version 1.1, in addition to the GNU GPL version 2+
with the GNU Font Embedding Exception.
* Many glyphs in these ranges were re-aligned so the dominant
horizontal line would be positioned in row 7, counting from
the bottom. Some glyphs were redrawn.
- U+2190..U+21FF Arrows
- U+2200..U+23FF Mathematical Operators
- U+2400..U+24FF Miscellaneous Technical
- U+25A0..U+25FF Geometric Shapes
- APL operators such as the tacks and jot were not modified,
so as not to alter alignments of glyphs that APL superimposes
on each other.
* U+2200..U+23FF Mathematical Operators: redrew slashes for
negated operators from vertical lines to slanted lines.
* Added three new Under ConScript Unicode Registry (UCSUR) Scripts:
- U+EB40..U+EB5F Standard Galactic
- U+EB60..U+EB9F Braille Extended
- U+EBA0..U+EBDF Cistercian Numerals
* Other changes listed in the ChangeLog file.
The package provides LaTEX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support
for the IBM Plex families of fonts. Serif, Sans and Mono families
are available in eight weights: Regular, Light, ExtraLight, Thin,
Bold, Text, Medium and SemiBold (with corresponding italics).

Changelog taken from http://pelulamu.net/unscii/:
In 2020-03-10, the new Unicode version 13.0 added 214 graphics
characters for "legacy computing" (including, among all, the missing
PETSCII characters, and a majority of missing Teletext/Videotex
characters). Most of these were already included in Unscii 1.x, but
now I have been able to give them proper Unicode mappings as
well. This is the main reason for the Unscii 2.0 release.
Additionally, Unscii 2.0 fixes errors in some characters, legibility
in some others and adds a bunch of new ones.
On Wednesday, November 7th, 2000, George W. Williams V first
published a piece of software called PfaEdit that allowed rudimentary
editing of PostScript fonts. It lacked the features and polish of
such prominent products as Fontographer and Font Studio, but it
had one big advantage: it was free.
Twenty years later, Fontographer and FontStudio are gone, and the
whereabouts of George Williams are unknown, but FontForge has grown
into a highly capable and mature product. It supports dozens of
file formats and includes such features as spline stroking, overlap
removal, and Python scripting. And it is still free software. With
over 100,000 users, it is the most widely used typeface design tool
in the world.
It may seem anti-climactic that today's 20th anniversary release
includes no major changes or new features, but it perfectly befits
a product that has evolved carefully and slowly over its entire
lifecycle with almost no breaking changes. Whether for the special
commemorative splash screen or for the countless small improvements
and fixes, we hope that you will try it. It is available, as always,
on the FontForge website <https://fontforge.org/>;.
The entire project team thank you for your support.

This makes it easier to use the mk fragment with fonts that need a build
step, like new liberation-ttf.
While here switch some fonts using post-install unnecessarily to do-install
(Committed at the same time as it wasn't tested separately)
No PLIST changes to the packages/build breakage, so no changes expected
to the packages.
Only a few pieces of software are using the ICU integration library,
these aren't the big harfbuzz users (i.e. gtk). this is intended to lessen
the impact of icu's frequent ABI breaks.
