Overview of changes leading to 1.4.1
Thursday, January 5, 2017
====================================
- Always build and use UCDN for Unicode data by default.
Reduces dependence on version of Unicode data in glib,
specially in the Windows bundles we are shipping, which
have very old glib.
Overview of changes leading to 1.4.0
Thursday, January 5, 2017
====================================
- Merged "OpenType GX" branch which adds core of support for
OpenType 1.8 Font Variations. To that extent, the relevant
new API is:
New API:
hb_font_set_var_coords_normalized()
with supporting API:
New API:
HB_OT_LAYOUT_NO_VARIATIONS_INDEX
hb_ot_layout_table_find_feature_variations()
hb_ot_layout_feature_with_variations_get_lookups()
hb_shape_plan_create2()
hb_shape_plan_create_cached2()
Currently variations in GSUB/GPOS/GDEF are fully supported,
and no other tables are supported. In particular, fvar/avar
are NOT supported, hence the hb_font_set_var_coords_normalized()
taking normalized coordinates. API to take design coordinates
will be added in the future.
HVAR/VVAR/MVAR support will also be added to hb-ot-font in the
future.
- Fix regression in GDEF glyph class processing.
- Add decompositions for Chakma, Limbu, and Balinese in USE shaper.
- Misc fixes.
* Many improvements from 1.0.38

A family of high-quality WGL4 TrueType fonts, created by the Bigelow
& Holmes type foundry specifically for the Go project.
The font family, called Go (naturally), includes proportional- and
fixed-width faces in normal, bold, and italic renderings. The fonts
have been tested for technical uses, particularly programming. Go
source code looks particularly good when displayed in Go fonts, as
its name implies, with things like punctuation characters easily
distinguishable and operators lined up and placed consistently.
Merriweather is a workhorse text type family made specifically for
screens. Print use is not a significant consideration in the design.
Merriweather is useful for Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic and Greek. The
styles include Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic.
2016-10-29 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>
* Version: 9.0.04.
* font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
- Extended "{" and "}" by one pixel to add a point in the center.
- Swapped U+2A05 and U+2A06; they were in reverse order.
* Added omitted ChangeLog entry for Unifont 9.0.03 for the addition
of Pikto glyphs to font/plane0Fcsur/plane0Fcsur.hex.
21 October 2016 Release (Unifont 9.0.03): This release updates some glyphs and adds these ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) scripts:
U+E8E0..U+E8F4 Tonal System, a base 16 system for counting, weights, and measures invented by John William Nystrom, a 19th-century civil engineer. Drawn by Paul Hardy.
U+F8C8 Aiha, by Ursula K. Le Guin, added the Aiha double combining glyph. This was omitted in the original CSUR Aiha description. Drawn by Paul Hardy.
U+0F0E70..U+0F11E7 Pikto, a pictographic Constructed Language ("ConLang") created by John E. Williams in the 1950s.
The addition of the Pikto script is the main change in this version. Andrew Miller scanned the Pikto pictographs from John Williams' Pikto book. Paul Hardy and Johnnie Weaver drew the Unifont Pikto glyphs. A detailed chart of these glyphs and their meanings is on the (very large, about 1 Mbyte!) Pikto page.
The Tonal System is a comprehensive base 16 counting and measuring system devised during the nascense of the international effort to standardize on a decimal system of measurement. A Tonal System overview appears on this Tonal page.
The large bitmap linked at the top of this page now includes the Plane 0 CSUR glyphs.
Lato is a sans-serif typeface family designed in the Summer 2010 by
Warsaw-based designer Lukasz Dziedzic ("Lato" means "Summer" in
Polish). In December 2010 the Lato family was published under the
open-source Open Font License by his foundry tyPoland, with support
from Google.
In 2013-2014, the family was greatly extended to cover 3000+ glyphs
per style. The Lato 2.010 family now supports 100+ Latin-based
languages, 50+ Cyrillic-based languages as well as Greek and IPA
phonetics. In the process, the metrics and kerning of the family
have been revised and four additional weights were created.
Raleway is an elegant sans-serif typeface family.
Initially designed by Matt McInerney as a single thin weight, it
was expanded into a 9 weight family by Pablo Impallari and Rodrigo
Fuenzalida in 2012 and iKerned by Igino Marini. In 2013 the Italics
where added.
It is a display face and the download features both old style and
lining numerals, standard and discretionary ligatures, a pretty
complete set of diacritics, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired
by more geometric sans-serif typefaces than its neo-grotesque
inspired default character set.
Use the main webpage tarball, which also includes CJK and Emoji
in hinted versions.
Changes: many more characters, covers all of Unicode, it claims,
and switched license to ofl-v1.1 (from apache-2.0).

--------------------------------------------------------------------
(pkgsrc changes)
- Drop patch-FreeType.xs (upstream implemented)
- Modify patch-Makefile.PL
Upstream implemented automatic environment config, with some
testing, but testing part is redundent to pkgsrc, and yet harmfull,
so remove that part.
- Add buildlink to x11.buildlink3.mk to use freetype-config
for automatic configuration
The installed version of this library was found and used instead of the
one build by the package, leading to problems when the pkgsrc one had
symbols the native one doesn't have. Add libtool path to compiler
search path to fix this.
