- 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

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

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.

## 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.

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)

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.
<URL:http://www.tug.org/fonts/lppl-urw.txt>
Version: 1.109 2018-09-29:
- Improve Arabic math glyph considerably, they are much usable now.
- Add upright RTL integral alternates.
- Change ‘cv01’ feature for alternate Arabic math glyphs.
- Make the ‘hhea’ ascent/descent/line gap match the ‘OS/2’ typo metrics.
- Don’t set deprecated ForceBold in CFF Private dictionary.
- Fix script position with vertical bar on MS Word.
- Make vertical bar extensible in bold math font.
- Make MS Word linear fraction work better.
- Bundle WOFF fonts.
- Remove glyph overlap, some CFF rasterizers handle it badly.
- Fonts can be build with vanilla FontForge now.
- Builds are reproducible.
Version: 1.200 2018-10-02
This is the final release with new features; from now on XITS
is in maintenance mode and only bug fixes will be made.
Version: 1.200.1 2018-10-10
Drop WOFF fonts from tarball uploaded to CTAN, they break XeTeX.
Updates to TeX Gyre Adventor and Pagella in version 2.501:
* substantial extension of the repertoires by geometric, math and
technical symbols, in OTF, files stylistic feature ss10 (backward
compatibility with old math symbols) added, marks (anchors) implemented
* only one aggregate map (for each) is included for all encodings
* the contents of the source/fonts/tex-gyre/ directory changed; most
importantly, it contains source *.sfd files
* the relevant LaTeX files haven't been changed, they just got a new time
stamp
Version 1.55 adds support for the SticksToo text fonts (a reworking of
STIX2) as option stix2 to newtxmath. Along with this addition, there
are some important code differences concerning the treatment of
embedded Blackboard Bold alphabets, and, unique to the behavior under
stix2, the addition of the built-in DSSerif alphabet to the options for
Blackboard Bold alphabet.
3.36.0:
- [ttx] Added --no-recalc-timestamp option to keep the original font's
head.modified timestamp.
- [ttx/psCharStrings] Fixed issues while dumping and round-tripping CFF2 table
with ttx.
- [voltLib] Fixed check for duplicate anchors. Don't try to read past
the END operator in .vtp file.
- [varLib] Use sentinel value -0x8000 (-32768) to ignore post.underlineThickness
and post.underlinePosition when generating MVAR deltas.
- [subset] Added --retain-gids option to subset font without modifying the
current glyph indices.
- [ufoLib] Replace deprecated calls to getbytes and setbytes with new
equivalent readbytes and writebytes calls. fs >= 2.2 no required.
- [varLib] Allow loading masters from TTX files as well
3.35.2:
- [hmtx/vmtx]: Allow to compile/decompile hmtx and vmtx tables even
without the corresponding (required) metrics header tables, hhea and
vhea
- [varLib] Added support for localized axes' labelname and named instances'
stylename.
3.35.1:
- [_m_a_x_p] Include maxComponentElements in maxp table's recalculation.
3.35.0:
- [psCharStrings] In encodeFloat function, use float's "general format" with
8 digits of precision (i.e. %8g) instead of str(). This works around
a macOS rendering issue when real numbers in CFF table are too long, and
also makes sure that floats are encoded with the same precision in python 2.7
and 3.x.
- [_n_a_m_e/fontBuilder] Make _n_a_m_e_table.addMultilingualName also add
Macintosh (platformID=1) names by default. Added options to FontBuilder
setupNameTable method to optionally disable Macintosh or Windows names.
- [varLib] Make build optionally accept a DesignSpaceDocument object,
instead of a designspace file path. The caller can now set the font
attribute of designspace's sources to a TTFont object, thus allowing to
skip filenames manipulation altogether.
- [sfnt] Allow SFNTReader objects to be deep-copied.
- Require typing>=3.6.4 on py27 to fix issue with singledispatch.
- [designspaceLib/t1Lib/macRes] Fixed some cases where pathlib.Path objects were
not accepted.
- [varLib] Fixed merging of multiple PairPosFormat2 subtables.
- [varLib] The default STAT table version is now set to 1.1, to improve
compatibility with legacy applications
Spleen is a monospaced bitmap font available in 5 sizes:
5x8, 8x16, 12x24, 16x32 and 32x64.
fonts/spleen provides font files in the PCF format for use with X11.
3.34.2
- [merge] Fixed AssertionError when none of the script tables in GPOS/GSUB have
a DefaultLangSys record
3.34.1
- [varLib] Work around macOS rendering issue for composites without gvar entry
3.34.0:
- [varLib] Support generation of CFF2 variable fonts. model.reorderMasters()
now supports arbitrary mapping. Fix handling of overlapping ranges for feature
variations.
- [cffLib, subset] Code clean-up and fixing related to CFF2 support.
- [ttLib.tables.ttProgram] Use raw strings for regex patterns.
- [fontbuilder] Initial support for building CFF2 fonts. Set CFF's
FontMatrix automatically from unitsPerEm.
- [plistLib] Accept the more general collections.Mapping instead of the
specific dict class to support custom data classes that should serialize
to dictionaries.

Overview of changes leading to 2.0.0
Thursday, October 18, 2018
====================================
- Added AAT shaping support (morx/kerx/trak).
Automatically used if GSUB/GPOS are not available respectively.
Set HB_OPTIONS=aat env var to have morx/kerx preferred over
GSUB/GPOS.
- Apply TrueType kern table internally, instead of relying on
hb_font_t callbacks.
- Khmer shaper significantly rewritten to better match Uniscribe.
- Indic3 tags ('dev3', etc) are passed to USE shaper.
- .dfont Mac font containers implemented.
- Script- and language-mapping revamped to better use BCP 47.
- Misc USE and Indic fixes.
- Misc everything fixes.
- Too many things to list. Biggest release since 0.9.1, with
over 500 commits in just over 5 weeks! Didn't intend it to
be a big release. Just happened to become.
- hb-ft now locks underlying FT_Face during use.
API changes:
- Newly-created hb_font_t's now have our internal "hb-ot-font"
callbacks set on them, so they should work out of the box
without any callbacks set. If callbacks are set, everything
is back to what it was before, the fallback callbacks are
null. If you to get the internal implementation modified,
sub_font it.
- New hb_font_funcs_set_nominal_glyphs_func() allows speeding
up character to glyph mapping.
New API:
+HB_FEATURE_GLOBAL_START
+HB_FEATURE_GLOBAL_END
+hb_buffer_set_invisible_glyph()

Overview of changes leading to 1.9.0
Monday, September 10, 2018
====================================
- Added 'cmap' API to hb_face_t.
- Face-builder API.
- hb-ot-font re-creation should be much leaner now, as the
font tables it uses are cached on hb_face_t now.
- Internal source header file name changes:
hb-*-private.hh is renamed to hb-*.hh.
New API:
+HB_UNICODE_MAX
+hb_face_collect_unicodes()
+hb_face_collect_variation_selectors()
+hb_face_collect_variation_unicodes()
+hb_face_builder_create()
+hb_face_builder_add_table()
3.32.0:
- [ufoLib] Make UFOWriter a subclass of UFOReader, and use mixins
for shared methods
- [featureVars] Fixed normalization error when a condition's minimum/maximum
attributes are missing in designspace <rule>
- [setup.py] Added [plot] to extras, to optionally install matplotlib,
needed to use the fonTools.varLib.plot module.
- [varLib] Take total bounding box into account when resolving model.
If multiple axes have the same range ratio, cut across both.
- [subset] Don't error if STAT has no AxisValue tables.
- [fontBuilder] Added a new submodule which contains a FontBuilder wrapper
class around TTFont that makes it easier to create a working TTF or OTF
font from scratch with code. NOTE: the API is still experimental and may
change in future versions.
3.31.0:
- [ufoLib] Merged the ufoLib <https://github.com/unified-font-objects/ufoLib>__
master branch into a new fontTools.ufoLib package
Moved ufoLib.pointPen module to fontTools.pens.pointPen.
Moved ufoLib.etree module to fontTools.misc.etree.
Moved ufoLib.plistlib module to fontTools.misc.plistlib.
To use the new fontTools.ufoLib module you need to install fonttools
with the [ufo] extra, or you can manually install the required additional
dependencies (cf. README.rst).
- [morx] Support AAT action type to insert glyphs and clean up compilation
of AAT action tables.
- [subset] The --no-hinting on a CFF font now also drops the optional
hinting keys in Private dict: ForceBold, LanguageGroup, and
ExpansionFactor
- [subset] Include nameIDs referenced by STAT table
- [loggingTools] Added msg=None argument to
CapturingLogHandler.assertRegex.
- [varLib.mutator] Implemented FeatureVariations instantiation
- [g_l_y_f] Added PointPen support to _TTGlyph objects
3.30.0:
- Skip building noop class PairPos subtables when Coverage is NULL
- Expose the previously reserved bit flag OVERLAP_SIMPLE of
glyf table's contour points in the TTX dump. This is used in some
implementations to specify a non-zero fill with overlapping contours.
- Added support for decompiling/compiling TS1C tables containing
VTT sources for cvar variation table.
- Use fontTools.designspaceLib to read DesignSpaceDocument. The
fontTools.varLib.designspace module is now deprecated and will be removed
in future versions. The presence of an explicit axes element is now
required in order to build a variable font.
- Implemented building GSUB FeatureVariations table from the rules
element of DesignSpace document
- Added --no-layout-closure option to not expand the subset with
the glyphs produced by OpenType layout features. Instead, OpenType features
will be subset to only rules that are relevant to the otherwise-specified
glyph setpy-fonttools: updated to 3.30.0
Besides native xorg+xorg sets, modular xorg, there is also
native xorg+no xorg sets, and apparently the build doesn't fail in
this case.
Reported by John D. Baker in pkgsrc-users.

- Added face->foreach_glyph method for iterating over all glyphs
(some of them don't necessarily have a unicode point) (HinTak)
Overview of changes leading to 1.8.8
Tuesday, August 14, 2018
====================================
- Fix hb-icu crash on architectures where compare_exchange_weak() can
fail falsely. This bug was introduced in 1.8.4.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=873568
- More internal refactoring of atomic operations and singletons.
- API changes:
The following functions do NOT reference their return value before
returning:
* hb_unicode_funcs_get_default()
* hb_glib_get_unicode_funcs()
* hb_icu_get_unicode_funcs()
This is consistent with their naming ("get", instead of "reference")
as well as how they are used in the wild (ie. no one calls destroy()
on their return value.)
2018-08-10: Release 11.0.02
Adds Sutton SignWriting glyphs. Miscellaneous patches to other glyphs.
2018-06-05: Release 11.0.01
Update for Unicode 11.0.0 release. Modifications maintain complete
coverage of the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). Also includes
many Supplemental Multilingual Plane (SMP) scripts added in Unicode 11.0.
Notable in this release is the Unicode 11.0 addition of the Copyleft
symbol at code point U+01F12F. Because of its significance, this is
the only SMP glyph added to the Unicode TrueType BMP font. This glyph
also appears in the Unicode Upper TrueType font. BDF and PCF fonts
do not contain this symbol, as they only allow code points below U+10000.
2017-12-27: Release 10.0.07
Changes to allow cross-building from source. Now the top-level Makefile
and src/Makefile define INSTALL=install, rather than install C programs
with the "-s" (strip) option. This is part of a change requested by
Helmut Grohne to allow cross-architecture building without invoking
an architecture-specific "install -s". However, INSTALL still can
be defined on the top-level command line when make is invoked as
INSTALL="install -s" to allow stripping C binaries during installation
if desired. This definition from the top-level Makefile is passed down
to src/Makefile, which uses any command line definition when installing
C programs. Plain "install" is still used when installing Perl
programs.
Minor adjustments to glyphs as noted in the ChangeLog file.
2017-08-27: Release 10.0.06
Added numerous improvements to Unicode Plane 0 and Plane 1 scripts,
almost all of which were contributed by David Corbett; see the
ChangeLog file for details.
Made changes to make files contributed by Mike Gilbert to support
parallel make.
Fixed a corrupted ASCII hexadecimal string array in unifontpic.h.
2017-07-12: Release 10.0.05
This release positions Unicode double diacritic marks correctly
in the TrueType fonts. The previous release did not multiply
their offsets by the correct scale factor in FontForge.
The unifontpic chart title is also centered along the top row
legend, which looks better visually.
The Phonetic Extensions block has gone through major revision,
with minor adjustments in other Unicode scripts as described
in the ChangeLog file.
2017-07-08: Release 10.0.04
Added "-P" flag to the unifontpic utility to specify the Unicode
plane. This allows creating code charts for glyphs above Plane 0.
The Unicode plane is now added to the chart title. This works
properly for the wide and the long chart versions, with the
letters in the long version's chart title now single-spaced.
Received double-width Chinese ideographs to replace the quadruple-
width glyphs for Church Slavonic transliteration that were released
in Unifont 10.0.01. This allows a return to PNG charts of Unifont
glyphs. PNG files are smaller than the BMP version but the PNG
Unifont utilities have not been modified to handle quadruple-width
glyphs, whereas the BMP utilities have been. The 18 quadruple-width
Chinese glyphs are preserved in font/plane00/alt/quad-width.hex to
allow future experimentation.
The PNG charts of Unicode Plane 1 (Supplemental Multilingual Plane)
glyphs now use the Unifont "sample" version of Unifont ".hex" files,
so that combining circles appear. This was already being done for
Unicode Plane 0 and will look better in font sample pages.
Added new x-offset field to all *-combining.txt files to provide
proper rendering of Unicode double diacritic marks; they should
span across the preceding character and the following character.
Added support for this in hex2sfd for FontForge generation of
TrueType fonts. Also added support for this to the unigencircles
utility, so the combining circle of a double diacritic is printed
correctly in the left half of the glyph as in the Unicode
Consortium's code charts, rather than being centered. Several
applications are not rendering these double diacritic marks
correctly; releasing this version of Unifont will allow validation
of the new Unifont TrueType build, and could serve as a test font
for implementing these specialty Unicode characters in other
applications.
Redrew Musical Symbols Ornaments (U+01D194..U+01D1A5) so they
join together when used as a consecutive string of characters.
Adjusted the Byzantine Musical Symbols "ano", "meso", and "kato"
glyph versions for high, middle, and low vertical placement,
respectively.
Made numerous adjustments to many glyphs as noted in the ChangeLog
file, including re-coding some "subjoiner" glyphs as combining
characters instead of as non-printing. Those glyphs now render
a virama (halant) sign if a script contains such a sign, or a
"+" subscript sign otherwise.
2017-06-30: Release 10.0.03
Modified font/hex2sfd to reposition combining characters. If
you experience problems with the TrueType font in this release,
revert to 10.0.02.
2017-06-30: Release 10.0.02
Touched up glyphs in the block U+03xx, which includes modern Greek.
Fixed an Aiha glyph in the Private Use Area in the Unifont CSUR font.
2017-06-20: Release 10.0.01
Updated for Unicode 10.0 release.
New scripts added (introduced in Unicode 10.0):
- U+0860..U+086F Syriac Supplement
- U+011A00..U+011A4F Zanabazar Square

- U+011D00..U+011D5F Masaram Gondi
Added quadruple-width glyphs U+9FD8..U+9FE9, updating some utility
programs and documentation to allow this change. The Perl scripts
unihex2png, unipng2hex, and unifont-viewer do not support this new
16-by-32 glyph size.
Corrected several glyphs and made numerous changes in others,
described in detail in the ChangeLog file.

3.29.0:
- [feaLib] In the OTL table builder, when the name table is excluded
from the list of tables to be build, skip compiling featureNames blocks,
as the records referenced in FeatureParams table don't exist.
- [otBase] Try ExtensionLookup if other offset-overflow methods fail.
- [feaLib] Added support for explicit subtable; break statements in
PairPos lookups; previously these were ignored.
- [cffLib.specializer] Make sure the stack depth does not exceed maxstack - 1,
so that a subroutinizer can insert subroutine calls.
- [otTables] Added support for fixing offset overflow errors occurring inside
MarkBasePos subtables.
- [subset] Write the default output file extension based on --flavor option,
or the value of TTFont.sfntVersion.
- [unicodedata] Updated Blocks, Scripts and ScriptExtensions for Unicode 11.
- [xmlWriter] Added context manager to XMLWriter class to autoclose file
descriptor on exit.
- [psCharStrings] Optimize the charstring's bytecode by encoding as integers
all float values that have no decimal portion.
- [ttFont] Fixed missing import of TTLibError exception.
- [feaLib] Allow any languages other than dflt under DFLT script.
3.28.0:
- [featureVars] Added experimental module to build FeatureVariations
tables. Still needs to be hooked up to varLib.build
- [fixedTools] Added otRound to round floats to nearest integer towards
positive Infinity. This is now used where we deal with visual data like X/Y
coordinates, advance widths/heights, variation deltas, and similar
- [subset] Improved GSUB closure memoize algorithm.
- [varLib.models] Fixed regression in model resolution
- [feaLib.ast] Fixed error when converting SubtableStatement to string
- [varLib.mutator] Set OS/2.usWeightClass and usWidthClass, and
post.italicAngle based on the 'wght', 'wdth' and 'slnt' axis values
- [py23/loggingTools] Don't automatically set logging.lastResort handler
on py27. Moved LastResortLogger to the loggingTools module
