Spleen 1.7.0 (2020-02-13)
- Improve generated PSF files so that box-drawing characters are correctly
displayed
- Add the FONT_VERSION XFLD property for all BDF sizes
- Generate OpenType (OTF) versions for the 8x16, 12x24, 16x32 and 32x64 sizes

- Add links to Debian and Ubuntu packages
pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"
As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.
4.2.4:
- [unicodedata] Update RTL_SCRIPTS for Unicode 11 and 12.
4.2.3:
- [otTables] Fixed bug when splitting `MarkBasePos` subtables as offsets overflow.
The mark class values in the split subtable were not being updated, leading to
invalid mark-base attachments.
- [feaLib] Only log a warning instead of error when features contain duplicate
substitutions.
- [glifLib] Strip XML comments when parsing with lxml
pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
Recursive Mono & Sans is a variable type family built for better code
& UI. It is inspired by casual script signpainting, but designed
primarily to meet the needs of programming environments and
application interfaces.
In programming, "recursion" is when a function calls itself, using its
own output as an input to yield powerful results. Recursive Mono was
used as a tool to help build itself: it was used to write Python
scripts to automate type production work and to generate specimen
images, and it was used in HTML, CSS, and JS to create web-based
proofs & prototypes. Through this active usage, Recursive Mono was
crafted to be both fun to look at as well as deeply useful for all-day
work.
Recursive Sans borrows glyphs from its parent mono but adjusts the
widths of many key glyphs for comfortable readability. Its metrics are
superplexed - every style takes up the exact same horizontal space,
across all styles. In this 3-axis variable font, this allows for fluid
transitions between weight, slant, and "expression" (casual to strict
letterforms), all without text shifts or layout reflow. Not only does
this allow for new interactive possibilities in UI, but it also makes
for a uniquely fun typesetting experience.

UnifrakturMaguntia is a Unicode Fraktur Font.
UnifrakturMaguntia is based on Peter Wiegel's font Berthold Mainzer
Fraktur. The main differences from Peter Wiegel's font are the
following:
* UnifrakturMaguntia uses OpenType for displaying the font's
ligatures.
* UnifrakturMaguntia is suitable for @font-face embedding on the
Internet. It has a permissive license, the OFL, that explicitly
allows font embedding.
* G. Ansmann has carefully redrawn all glyphs and significantly
expanded the font.
For an extensive documentation created by G. Ansmann, see
UnifrakturMaguntia, Manual (with General Rules for Typesetting
Fraktur), or UnifrakturMaguntia, Manual (with General Rules for
Typesetting Fraktur).
Unscii is a set of bitmapped Unicode fonts based on classic system
fonts. Unscii attempts to support character cell art well while also
being suitable for terminal and programming use.
The two main variants are unscii-8 (8x8) and unscii-16 (8x16). There
are also several alternative styles for unscii-8, as well as a 8x16
"full" variant that incorporates missing Unicode glyphs from Fixedsys
Excelsior and GNU Unifont. "unscii-16-full" falls under GPL because of
how Unifont is licensed; the other variants are in the Public Domain.
HEX and PCF are the only actual bitmapped formats here. HEX is the
same simple hexdump format as used by the Unifont project.
TTF, OTF and WOFF are vectorized because the bitmapped TTF fonts
generated by FontForge didn't seem to work anywhere. Fixes to this
problem are appreciated.
2019-11-30 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

- Small metrics errors in Latin glyphs
- Errors in PS hint replacement in all files containing PostScript outlines
4.2.2:
- [subset] Fixed issue with subsetting FeatureVariations table when the index
of features changes as features get dropped. The feature index need to be
remapped to point to index of the remaining features.
- [fontBuilder] Added `addFeatureVariations` method to `FontBuilder` class. This
is a shorthand for calling `featureVars.addFeatureVariations` on the builder's
TTFont object.
- [glyf] Fixed the flags bug in glyph.drawPoints() like we did for glyph.draw()
4.2.1:
- [glyf] Use the ``flagOnCurve`` bit mask in ``glyph.draw()``, so that we ignore
the ``overlap`` flag that may be set when instantiating variable fonts.
4.2.0:
- [pens] Added the following pens:
* ``roundingPen.RoundingPen``: filter pen that rounds coordinates and components'
offsets to integer;
* ``roundingPen.RoundingPointPen``: like the above, but using PointPen protocol.
* ``filterPen.FilterPointPen``: base class for filter point pens;
* ``transformPen.TransformPointPen``: filter point pen to apply affine transform;
* ``recordingPen.RecordingPointPen``: records and replays point-pen commands.
- [ttGlyphPen] Always round float coordinates and component offsets to integers
.
- [ufoLib] When converting kerning groups from UFO2 to UFO3, avoid confusing
groups with the same name as one of the glyphs
4.1.0:
- [instancer] Implemented restricting axis ranges (level 3 partial instancing).
You can now pass ``{axis_tag: (min, max)}`` tuples as input to the
``instantiateVariableFont`` function. Note that changing the default axis
position is not supported yet. The command-line script also accepts axis ranges
in the form of colon-separated float values, e.g. ``wght=400:700``.
- [instancer] Never drop STAT ``DesignAxis`` records, but only prune out-of-range
``AxisValue`` records.
- [otBase/otTables] Enforce that VarStore.RegionAxisCount == fvar.axisCount, even
when regions list is empty to appease OTS < v8.0.
- [designspaceLib] Defined new ``processing`` attribute for ``<rules>`` element,
with values "first" or "last", plus other editorial changes to DesignSpace
specification. Bumped format version to 4.1.
- [varLib] Improved error message when masters' glyph orders do not match
- [featureVars] Allow to specify custom feature tag in ``addFeatureVariations``;
allow said feature to already exist, in which case we append new lookup indices
to existing features. Implemented ``<rules>`` attribute ``processing`` according to
DesignSpace specification update in. Depending on this flag, we generate
either an 'rvrn' (always processed first) or a 'rclt' feature (follows lookup order,
therefore last).
- [ttCollection] Added support for context manager auto-closing via ``with`` statement
like with ``TTFont``.
- [unicodedata] Require unicodedata2 >= 12.1.0.
- [py2.py3] Removed yet more PY2 vestiges.
- [_n_a_m_e] Fixed issue when comparing NameRecords with different string types.
- [fixedTools] Changed ``fixedToFloat`` to not do any rounding but simply return
``value / (1 << precisionBits)``. Added ``floatToFixedToStr`` and
``strToFixedToFloat`` functions to be used when loading from or dumping to XML.
Fixed values (e.g. fvar axes and instance coordinates, avar mappings, etc.) are
are now stored as un-rounded decimal floats upon decompiling.
- [feaLib] Fixed handling of multiple ``LigatureCaret`` statements for the same glyph.
Only the first rule per glyph is used, additional ones are ignored.
4.0.2:
- [voltLib] Added support for ``ALL`` and ``NONE`` in ``PROCESS_MARKS``.
- [Silf] Fixed issue in ``Silf`` table compilation and decompilation regarding str vs
bytes in python3.
- [merge] Handle duplicate glyph names better: instead of appending font index to
all glyph names, use similar code like we use in ``post`` and ``CFF`` tables.
4.0.1:
- [otTables] Support fixing offset overflows in ``MultipleSubst`` lookup subtables
- [subset] Prune empty strikes in ``EBDT`` and ``CBDT`` table data.
- [pens] Fixed issue in ``PointToSegmentPen`` when last point of closed contour has
same coordinates as the starting point and was incorrectly dropped.
- [Graphite] Fixed ``Sill`` table output to pass OTS.
- [name] Added ``removeNames`` method to ``table__n_a_m_e`` class.
- [ttLib] Added aliases for renamed entries ``ascender`` and ``descender`` in
``hhea`` table.
4.0.0:
- NOTE: The v4.x version series only supports Python 3.6 or greater. You can keep
using fonttools 3.x if you need support for Python 2.
- [py23] Removed all the python2-only code since it is no longer reachable, thus
unused; only the Python3 symbols were kept, but these are no-op. The module is now
DEPRECATED and will removed in the future.
- [ttLib] Fixed UnboundLocalError for empty loca/glyph tables. Also, allow
the glyf table to be incomplete when dumping to XML.
- [varLib.models] Fixed KeyError while sorting masters and there are no on-axis for
a given axis (38a8eb0e).
- [cffLib] Make sure glyph names are unique.
- [feaLib] Fix feature parser to correctly handle octal numbers

slant in the wrong direction. #198
- Fixes issue (regression) with variable font where version metadata would be
wrong. #202
- Fixes codepoint mapping for /copyleft glyph. #203
- Improves metadata of variable fonts. “fullName” name table entry is now

- New alternate-named variable font “Inter V”. With a different family name,
this is useful for when you want to install the variable version alongside
traditional static font files.
- Improvements to /backslash glyph
v3.10
@rsms rsms released this Sep 7, 2019 · 35 commits to master since this release

- Refinements and improvements to fractions (both dedicated glyphs and
arbitrary frac parts)
- Kerning improvements to all weights
- Progress on mark and mkmk “dynamic diacritics”
v3.9
@rsms rsms released this Aug 7, 2019 · 58 commits to master since this release
Fixes an issue with metadata where Medium, Semi Bold, and Extra Bold would
incorrectly be marked as “italic” which would confuse certain software.
v3.8
@rsms rsms released this Aug 5, 2019 · 62 commits to master since this release
- Possibly breaking change: Variable italic axis (really, slnt axis) has been
inverted (negated) — a negative value causes the text to lean rightwards.
This is only a breaking change if you are using the multi-axis variable
font (Inter.var) and define slant angle using high-level CSS properties
like font-style. This change was done to comply with the convention defined
in the OpenType spec. #175#172
- Variable font files are now significantly smaller thanks to #171 and #169
□ Inter.var.woff2 v3.7: 393kB, v3.8: 306kB
□ Inter-upright.var.woff2 v3.7: 267kB, v3.8: 224kB
□ All this while v3.8 introduces a whole new set of glyphs, kerning and
feature code.
- Adds several new glyphs, like double-stemmed arrows and enclosed
alphanumerics & symbols
□ Warning sign #168
□ Copyleft symbol #165
□ Really long arrows, useful in ligatures like --->
□ Arrows with double-lined stems, useful for “assign to”, with ligatures
defined for some combinations with equals, e.g. =>
□ Enclosed glyphs in circles and squares
- Fixes a bug where U+0430 Cyrillic lower-case a would not be substituted for
a single-storey “a” with cv11 enabled. #179
- Fixes a bug with slant of Ͽ (U+03FF) #170#169
- Some calt code has moved to liga (standard ligatures), specifically arrow
ligatures. Automatic case alignment is still kept in calt. So, you can now
disable calt to disable only case alignment, and disable liga to only
disable arrow ligatures.
- Improvements to kerning, spacing and letterform details
- Improved Microsoft Windows installation instructions #173
v3.7
@rsms rsms released this May 31, 2019 · 103 commits to master since this
release

release
- Fixes an issue related to ttfautohint where lower case "r" would be grid
fitted incorrectly by ClearType on Microsoft Windows #119
- Fixes an issue with using case and calt features in combination where arrow
combinations like -> would not be substituted by arrow glyphs #161
- Fixes an issue with rightArrow of bolder weights in italic #154
- Adjusts the glyph width of "bullet" to be exactly two "space" glyphs wide,
allowing easy ad-hoc list creation with wrapping lines
- Improved kerning for a.1 (alternate single-storey "a")
v3.5
@rsms rsms released this Apr 2, 2019 · 139 commits to master since this release
This is a very small incremental change from v3.4 that mainly contains improved
metrics metadata for some macOS applications, improving vertical alignment.

- 35a2362 Adds --name option to "fontbuild compile-var" for customizing
family name, useful for producing variable font files with a different name
than the constant files so they can be installed alongside each other.
Closes#144
- 20aaab6 Change version encoding in font files to match common zero-padded
version to allow FontBakery to be happy. Closes#138
- 1208ea9 adds returnsymbol U+23CE

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

- 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.

OK kamil@
2019-06-01: Release 12.1.02
* Adds a Japanese version of Unifont, unifont_jp, containing
kanji glyphs from the public domain Jiskan16 font.
* Contains redrawn Devanagari and Bengali glyphs with
narrower consonants for better superimposing of vowels.
* Updated unibmp2hex.c to convert RGB color space files to
monochrome.
librsvg with pango and harfbuzz with graphite2 is required for libreoffice.
librsvg-c has the problem on NetBSD and libreoffice uses internal static
harfbuzz library. Rust-based librsvg has no problem and libreoffice use
dynamic harfbuzz from fonts/harfbuzz.
Bump PKGREVISIONs.
2019-05-11: Release 12.1.01
* This release adds the new Reiwa Japanese era sign, added in
Unicode 12.1.0.
* Elizabeth Bettencourt contributed many Under ConScript Unicode
Registry (UCSUR) scripts for the Plane 0 Private Use Area.
* Some adjustments were made to Nandinagari and Nyiakeng Puachue
Hmong scripts. Full details are in the ChangeLog file.
* Minor changes to source code, mainly to suppress warnings
on more systems.
- 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.
20190410:
Kpathsea: More consistent brace expansion and path splitting; new variable TEXMFDOTDIR instead of hard-coded . in paths allows for easily searching additional or sub-directories (see comments in texmf.cnf).
epTEX, eupTEX: New primitives \readpapersizespecial and \expanded.
LuaTEX: Lua 5.3 now used, with concomitant arithmetic and interface changes. The homegrown library pplib is used to read pdf files, thus eliminating the dependency on poppler (and the need for C++); Lua interface changed accordingly.
MetaPost: r-mpost command name recognized as an alias for invocation with the –restricted option, and added to the list of restricted commands available by default. Minimum precision now 2 for decimal and binary mode. Binary mode no longer available in MPlib but still available in standalone MetaPost.
pdfTEX: New primitive \expanded; if new primitive parameter \pdfomitcharset is set to 1, the /CharSet string omitted from the PDF output, since it cannot feasibly be guaranteed correct, as required by PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3.
XeTEX: New primitives \expanded, \creationdate, \elapsedtime, \filedump, \filemoddate, \filesize, \resettimer, \normaldeviate, \uniformdeviate, \randomseed; extend \Ucharcat to produce active characters.
tlmgr: Support curl as a download program; use lz4 and gzip before xz for local backups, if available; prefer system-provided binaries over binaries provided with TEX Live for compressor and download programs, unless the environment variable TEXLIVE_PREFER_OWN is set.
install-tl: New option -gui (with no argument) is the default on Windows and Macs, and invokes a new Tcl/TK GUI (see sections 1.3 and 3.1.6).
Utilities:
cwebbin (https://ctan.org/pkg/cwebbin) is now the CWEB implementation in TEX Live, with support for more language dialects, and including the ctwill program to make mini-indexes.
chkdvifont: report font information from DVI files, also from tfm/ofm, vf, gf, pk.
dvispc: make a DVI file page-independent with respect to specials.
MacTEX: x86_64-darwin now supports 10.12 and higher (Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave); x86_64-darwinlegacy still supports 10.6 and newer. The spell checker Excalibur is no longer included, since it requires 32-bit support.
Platforms: removed sparc-solaris.
2.95
In contradiction to the last announcement this version of the fontloader
is still compatible with luatex 1.07. So updates will continue. This
version syncs the files with the ConTeXt files from 2019-01-28. It
improves the handling of the lucida fonts - the demi font is now used as
bold. The resolver code has been cleaned up a bit.
2.96
- In version 2.95 letterspacing was broken due to a change in the
fontloader. In version 2.96 this is now repaired. At the same time a
number of long-standing oddities and bugs in the letterspacing has been
corrected. This can change the output of existing documents!! See the
documentation for more information and ways to restore the old behaviour,
- A problem with the detection of bold fonts has been corrected (issue 41,
pull request 42).
- The fontloader has been synced with the context files from 2019-02-14.
* Fix regression in loading `Language=Turkish`. This now allows users
to define more than one OpenType tag when defining a language name,
where the first tag found is the one selected for the font. E.g.,
\newfontlanguage{Turkish}{TRK,TUR}
when selected, this first checks for the existance of the TRK
language tag, and if not found then checks for the TUR language tag
to use if available.
* Add new `Renderer` options for LuaTeX that enable the Harfbuzz
engine. These only work running under `luahbtex` and are currently
experimental. The new options are `Harfbuzz`, `OpenType`, `AAT`, and
`Graphite`.
* Always try to remove ‘clashing’ font features inside
`\addfontfeatures` even in cases when the requested font feature
doesn't exist. E.g., now if a font is loaded with `Numbers=OldStyle`
and *doesn't have* `Numbers=Lining`, requesting the latter will still
re!set the former.
* Add `pxfonts`, `txfonts`, `newpxmath`, `newtxmath`, `mtpro2` to the
list of packages that automatically invoke `no-math`.
* Add `\providefontfamily`, `\setfontface`, `\renewfontface`, and
`\providefontface`.
* Add local/global distinction with `\fontspec_(g)set_family:Nnn` and
`\fontspec_(g)set_fontface:NNnn`.
* Use fonts.mk framework

grafted from the mkfontdir repo and were all included in the mkfontdir 1.0.7
or earlier releases.)

Overview of changes leading to 2.3.1
Wednesday, January 30, 2019
====================================
- AAT bug fixes.
- Misc internal housekeeping cleanup.
2.0.15:
Sam Lantinga - Fri Oct 26 13:26:54 PDT 2018
* Updated to FreeType version 2.9.1
Sam Lantinga - Sun Sep 10 00:18:45 PDT 2017
* Text rendering functions now use the alpha component of the text colors
Sam Lantinga - Sat Sep 9 22:21:55 PDT 2017
* Added support for characters greater than 0xFFFF (e.g. emoji) in the UTF-8 APIs
3.37.3:
- The previous release accidentally changed several files from Unix to DOS
line-endings. Fix that.
3.37.2:
- [varLib] Temporarily revert the fix to load_masters(), which caused a
crash in interpolate_layout() when deepcopy-ing OTFs.
3.37.1:
- [varLib] load_masters() now actually assigns the fonts it loads to the
source.font attributes.
- [varLib] Fixed an MVAR table generation crash when sparse masters were
involved.
- [voltLib] parse_coverage_() returns a tuple instead of an ast.Enum.
- [feaLib] A MarkClassDefinition inside a block is no longer doubly indented
compared to the rest of the block.
3.37.0:
- [svgLib] Added support for converting elliptical arcs to cubic bezier curves
- [py23] Added backport for math.isfinite.
- [varLib] Apply HIDDEN flag to fvar axis if designspace axis has attribute
hidden=1.
- Fixed "DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence" in Python 3.7.
- [voltLib] Fixed parsing glyph groups. Distinguish different PROCESS_MARKS.
Accept COMPONENT glyph type.
- [feaLib] Distinguish missing value and explicit <NULL> for PairPos2
format A. Round-trip useExtension keyword. Implemented
ValueRecord.asFea method.
- [subset] Insert empty widths into hdmx when retaining gids
## v2.7 (2019/01/24)
* Add new `ScaleAgain` feature for compounding scale factors.
(This is largely to support `unicode-math` but may be useful by others.)
* `\oldstylenums` no longer overwritten if `textcomp` loaded after
`fontspec`.
* More fixes for recent regressions (sorry!).
## v2.7a (2019/01/25)
* One last (?!) fix for recent regression (!!). I am not getting enough
sleep at the moment and it is too hot.
* Add `LocalForms=On/Off/Reset` to control the `locl` OpenType tag.
* Reorganise some documentation.
* Remove redundant redefinition of `\-` which is nowadays defined correctly
by the LaTeX2e kernel.
* Add code to remove the patching of verbatim commands and environments
when the new `\verbvisiblespace` command is defined in a future version
of LaTeX2e.
This version syncs the files with the ConTeXt files from2018/12/19. It
extends the mode key to allow the use of more fontloaders. It is the last
version which can be used with luatex 1.07. Future versions will need 1.09
and will be available only at the github site until texlive 2018 is freezed.
## v2.6k (2019/01/16)
* Fix crash when loading fonts that are missing a requested script.
## v2.6l (2019/01/18)
* REALLY fix crash when loading fonts that are missing a requested script.
* Lots of internal logic changes for what should have been an easy fix :(
- Fix regression on big-endian architectures. Ouch!
- Misc bug and build fixes.
- Fix subsetting of simple GSUB/GDEF.
- Merge CFF / CFF2 support contributed by Adobe. This mostly involves
the subsetter, but also get_glyph_extents on CFF fonts.
* Regenerate the fonts with current FontForge resolving
PDF/A compatibility problem.
* Use the same dual licensing as the original URW fonts, c.f.
