Starting with this release, 1.2.0, it now includes the mkfontdir script
previously distributed separately for compatibility with older X11 versions.

grafted from the mkfontdir repo and were all included in the mkfontdir 1.0.7
or earlier releases.)
Adam Jackson (1):
mkfontdir: Find mkfontscale through @bindir@ rather than AC_PATH_PROG, since the one in the path could be from an old install that doesn't support all the needed flags.
Alan Coopersmith (20):
Remove last use of strcat
Replace dsprintf("%s", s) with strdup(s)
Use vasprintf(), if available, to implement dsprintf()

produce entries for the iso8859-7 encoding because of wrong Unicode

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.
