x2370 Nerd-Font is derived from the x3270 font.
Provides access to the text shaping functionality in the 'HarfBuzz'
library and the bidirectional algorithm in the 'Fribidi' library.
'textshaping' is a low-level utility package mainly for graphic
devices that expands upon the font tool-set provided by the
'systemfonts' package.
Provides system native access to the font catalogue. As font handling
varies between systems it is difficult to correctly locate installed
fonts across different operating systems. The 'systemfonts' package
provides bindings to the native libraries on Windows, macOS and Linux
for finding font files that can then be used further by e.g. graphic
devices. The main use is intended to be from compiled code but
'systemfonts' also provides access from R.
Hubot Sans is Mona Sans's robotic sidekick. The typeface is designed
with more geometric accents to lend a technical and idiosyncratic

Degarism.
A strong and versatile typeface, designed together with Degarism
and inspired by industrial-era grotesques. Mona Sans works well
across product, web, and print. Made to work well together with
Mona Sans's sidekick, Hubot Sans.

4.38.0 (released 2022-10-21)
----------------------------
- [varLib.instancer] Added support for L4 instancing, i.e. moving the default value of
an axis while keeping it variable. Thanks Behdad!
It's now also possible to restrict an axis min/max values beyond the current default
value, e.g. a font wght has min=100, def=400, max=900 and you want a partial VF that
only varies between 500 and 700, you can now do that.
You can either specify two min/max values (wght=500:700), and the new default will be
set to either the minimum or maximum, depending on which one is closer to the current
default (e.g. 500 in this case). Or you can specify three values (e.g. wght=500:600:700)
to specify the new default value explicitly.

Overview of changes leading to 5.2.0
Saturday, September 17, 2022
====================================
- Fix regressions in hb-ft font functions for FT_Face’s with transformation
matrix. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- The experimental hb-repacker API now supports splitting several GPOS subtable
types when needed. (Garret Rieger)
- The HarfBuzz extensions to OpenType font format are now opt-in behind
build-time flags. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- The experimental hb-subset variable fonts instantiation API can now
instantiate more font tables and arbitrary axis locations. (Qunxin Liu)
- Unicode 15 support. (David Corbett)
- Various documentation improvements. (Behdad Esfahbod, Matthias Clasen)
- The hb-view command line tool now detects WezTerm inline images support.
(Wez Furlong)
- Fix FreeType and ICU dependency lookup with meson. (Xavier Claessens)
- New API:
+HB_SCRIPT_KAWI
+HB_SCRIPT_NAG_MUNDARI
4.37.2 (released 2022-09-15)
----------------------------
- [subset] Keep CPAL table and don't attempt to prune unused color indices if OT-SVG
table is present even if COLR table was subsetted away; OT-SVG may be referencing the
CPAL table; for now we assume that's the case
- [varLib.instancer] Downgrade GPOS/GSUB version if there are no more FeatureVariations
after instancing
- [subset] Added ``--no-lazy`` to optionally load fonts eagerly (mostly to ease
debugging of table lazy loading, no practical effects)
- [varLib] Avoid building empty COLR.DeltaSetIndexMap with only identity mappings
- [feaLib] Allow multiple value record types (by promoting to the most general format)
within the same PairPos subtable; e.g. this allows variable and non variable kerning
rules to share the same subtable. This also fixes a bug whereby some kerning pairs
would become unreachable while shapiong because of premature subtable splitting
- [feaLib] Speed up ``VarScalar`` by caching models for recurring master locations
- [feaLib] Optionally cythonize ``feaLib.lexer``, speeds up parsing FEA a bit
- [designspaceLib] Avoid crash when handling unbounded rule conditions
- [post] Don't crash if ``post`` legacy format 1 is malformed/improperly used
- [gvar] Don't be "lazy" (load all glyph variations up front) when TTFont.lazy=False
- [TTFont] Added ``normalizeLocation`` method to normalize a location dict from the
font's defined axes space (also known as "user space") into the normalized (-1..+1)
space. It applies ``avar`` mapping if the font contains an ``avar`` table
- [TTVarGlyphSet] Support drawing glyph instances from CFF2 variable glyph set
- [fontBuilder] Do not error when building cmap if there are zero code points
- [varLib.plot] Added ability to plot a variation model and set of accompaning master
values corresponding to the model's master locations into a pyplot figure
- [Snippets] Added ``statShape.py`` script to draw statistical shape of a glyph as an
ellips (requires pycairo) (baecd88).
- [TTVarGlyphSet] implement drawPoints natively, avoiding going through
SegmentToPointPen
- [TTVarGlyphSet] Fixed bug whereby drawing a composite glyph multiple times, its
components would shif; needed an extra copy
Refine quotation marks in Recursive Sans Latest v1.085
This release refines the weights of quotation marks in the "Sans" styles of
Recursive, especially at lighter weight values.
Previously, these quotation glyphs '"""`'## were a relatively heavy weight,
adopting the aesthetic of bold punctuation common in monospace fonts (included
Recursive Mono). However, the degree of heaviness proved somewhat distracting
in text, so this release tones that down a bit to improve readability. Now,
quotation marks better match the visual weight of other glyphs. This is most
visible at the Light styles (Weight: 300), but also impacts Regular and Medium
weights, including Slanted/Italic styles.
Monospace punctuation remains unchanged, as heavy punctuation is useful in
fixed-width fonts.
4.37.1 (released 2022-08-24)
----------------------------
- [subset] Fixed regression introduced with v4.37.0 while subsetting the VarStore of
``HVAR`` and ``VVAR`` tables, whereby an ``AttributeError: subset_varidxes`` was
thrown because an apparently unused import statement (with the side-effect of
dynamically binding that ``subset_varidxes`` method to the VarStore class) had been
accidentally deleted in an unrelated PR.
- [pens] Added ``cairoPen``.
- [gvar] Read ``gvar`` more lazily by not parsing all of the ``glyf`` table.
- [ttGlyphSet] Make ``drawPoints(pointPen)`` method work for CFF fonts as well via
adapter pen.
4.37.0 (released 2022-08-23)
----------------------------
- [varLib.models] Reverted PR 2717 which added support for "narrow tents" in v4.36.0,
as it introduced a regression. It will be restored in upcoming release
once we found a solution to the bug.
- [cff.specializer] Fixed issue in charstring generalizer with the ``blend`` operator.
- [varLib.models] Added support for extrapolation.
- [ttGlyphSet] Ensure the newly added ``_TTVarGlyphSet`` inherits from ``_TTGlyphSet``
to keep backward compatibility with existing API.
- [kern] Allow compiling legacy kern tables with more than 64k entries (d21cfdede).
- [visitor] Added new visitor API to traverse tree of objects and dispatch based
on the attribute type: cf. ``fontTools.misc.visitor`` and ``fontTools.ttLib.ttVisitor``. Added ``fontTools.ttLib.scaleUpem`` module that uses the latter to
change a font's units-per-em and scale all the related fields accordingly.
4.36.0 (released 2022-08-17)
----------------------------
- [varLib.models] Use a simpler model that generates narrower "tents" (regions, master
supports) whenever possible: specifically when any two axes that actively "cooperate"
(have masters at non-zero positions for both axes) have a complete set of intermediates.
The simpler algorithm produces fewer overlapping regions and behaves better with
respect to rounding at the peak positions than the generic solver, always matching
intermediate masters exactly, instead of maximally 0.5 units off. This may be useful
when 100% metrics compatibility is desired.
- [feaLib] Remove warning when about ``GDEF`` not being built when explicitly not
requested; don't build one unconditonally even when not requested.
- [ttFont] ``TTFont.getGlyphSet`` method now supports selecting a location that
represents an instance of a variable font (supports both user-scale and normalized
axes coordinates via the ``normalized=False`` parameter). Currently this only works
for TrueType-flavored variable fonts.
4.35.0 (released 2022-08-15)
----------------------------
- [otData/otConverters] Added support for 'biased' PaintSweepGradient start/end angles
to match latest COLRv1 spec.
- [varLib.instancer] Fixed bug in ``_instantiateFeatureVariations`` when at the same
time pinning one axis and restricting the range of a subsequent axis; the wrong axis
tag was being used in the latter step (as the records' axisIdx was updated in the
preceding step but looked up using the old axes order in the following step).
- [mtiLib] Pad script tags with space when less than 4 char long.
- [merge] Use ``'.'`` instead of ``'#'`` in duplicate glyph names.
- [gvar] Added support for lazily loading glyph variations.
- [varLib] In ``build_many``, we forgot to pass on ``colr_layer_reuse`` parameter to
the ``build`` method.
- [svgPathPen] Add a main that prints SVG for input text (6df779fd).
- [cffLib.width] Fixed off-by-one in optimized values; previous code didn't match the
code block above it (2963fa50).
- [varLib.interpolatable] Support reading .designspace and .glyphs files (via optional
``glyphsLib``).
- Compile some modules with Cython when available and building/installing fonttools
from source: ``varLib.iup`` (35% faster), ``pens.momentsPen`` (makes
``varLib.interpolatable`` 3x faster).
- [feaLib] Allow features to be built for VF without also building a GDEF table (e.g.
only build GSUB); warn when GDEF would be needed but isn't requested.
- [otBase] Fixed ``AttributeError`` when uharfbuzz < 0.23.0 and 'repack' method is
missing (32aa8eaf). Use new ``uharfbuzz.repack_with_tag`` when available (since
uharfbuzz>=0.30.0), enables table-specific optimizations to be performed during
repacking.
- [statisticsPen] By default report all glyphs (4139d891). Avoid division-by-zero
(52b28f90).
- [feaLib] Added missing required argument to FeatureLibError exception
- [varLib.merge] Fixed error during error reporting. Fixed undefined
``NotANone`` variable.
4.34.4 (released 2022-07-07)
----------------------------
- Fixed typo in varLib/merger.py that causes NameError merging COLR glyphs
containing more than 255 layers.
4.34.3 (released 2022-07-07)
----------------------------
- [designspaceLib] Don't make up bad PS names when no STAT data
4.34.2 (released 2022-07-06)
----------------------------
- [varStore/subset] fixed KeyError exception to do with NO_VARIATION_INDEX while
subsetting varidxes in GPOS/GDEF (a08140d).
4.34.1 (released 2022-07-06)
----------------------------
- [instancer] When optimizing HVAR/VVAR VarStore, use_NO_VARIATION_INDEX=False to avoid
including NO_VARIATION_INDEX in AdvWidthMap, RsbMap, LsbMap mappings, which would
push the VarIdx width to maximum (4bytes), which is not desirable. This also fixes
a hard crash when attempting to subset a varfont after it had been partially instanced
with use_NO_VARIATION_INDEX=True.
4.34.0 (released 2022-07-06)
----------------------------
- [instancer] Set RIBBI bits in head and OS/2 table when cutting instances and the
subfamily nameID=2 contains strings like 'Italic' or 'Bold'.
- [otTraverse] Addded module containing methods for traversing trees of otData tables
.
- [otTables] Made DeltaSetIndexMap TTX dump less verbose by omitting no-op entries
.
- [colorLib.builder] Added option to disable PaintColrLayers's reuse of layers from
LayerList.
- [varLib] Added support for merging multiple master COLRv1 tables into a variable
COLR table. Base color glyphs of same name in different masters must have
identical paint graph structure (incl. number of layers, palette indices, number
of color line stops, corresponding paint formats at each level of the graph),
but can differ in the variable fields (e.g. PaintSolid.Alpha). PaintVar* tables
are produced when this happens and a VarStore/DeltaSetIndexMap is added to the
variable COLR table. It is possible for non-default masters to be 'sparse', i.e.
omit some of the color glyphs present in the default master.
- [feaLib] Let the Parser set nameIDs 1 through 6 that were previously reserved.
- [varLib.varStore] Support NO_VARIATION_INDEX in optimizer and instancer.
- [feaLib] Show all missing glyphs at once at end of parsing.
- [varLib.iup] Rewrite force-set conditions and limit DP loopback length.
For Noto Sans, IUP time drops from 23s down to 9s, with only a slight size increase
in the final font. This basically turns the algorithm from O(n^3) into O(n).
- [featureVars] Report about missing glyphs in substitution rules.
- [mutator/instancer] Added CLI flag to --no-recalc-timestamp.
- [SVG] Allow individual SVG documents in SVG OT table to be compressed on uncompressed,
and remember that when roundtripping to/from ttx. The SVG.docList is now a list
of SVGDocument namedtuple-like dataclass containing an extra ``compressed`` field,
and no longer a bare 3-tuple.
- [designspaceLib] Check for descriptor types with hasattr() to allow custom classes
that don't inherit the default descriptors.
- [subset] Enable sharing across subtables of extension lookups for harfbuzz packing
. Updated how table packing falls back to fontTools from harfbuzz.
- [subset] Updated default feature tags following current Harfbuzz.
- [svgLib] Fixed regex for real number to support e.g. 1e-4 in addition to 1.0e-4.
Support parsing negative rx, ry on arc commands.
- [subset] Fixed subsetting SinglePosFormat2 when ValueFormat=0.

* Fixed crash when loading fonts at certain sizes on Windows
* Fix memory corruption loading malformed TTF files (CVE-2022-27470)
Amiri is a classical Arabic typeface in Naskh style for
typesetting books and other running text. It is a revival of
the beautiful typeface pioneered in the early 20th century by
Bulaq Press in Cairo, also known as Amiria Press, after which
the font is named. The project aims at the revival of the
aesthetics and traditions of Arabic typesetting, and adapting
it to the era of digital typesetting, in a publicly available
form.
The package changed with the addition of its libepoll-shim dependency.
Otherwise, we can get:
ERROR: libepoll-shim>=0.0.20210418 is not installed; can't buildlink files.

there are two bugs in fonts/t1lib that cause math/grace to crash on OSX:
[1] compiler bug in some versions of clang when compiling with "-O2" ...
this appears to have been fixed somewhere between clang-11 and clang-12.
it works ok with "-O1" and it doesn't impact my NetBSD system (which
has gcc instead of clang). resolve by using memcpy() in LONGCOPY()
macro rather than using custom code that triggers the clang issue.
see: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2022/06/08/msg026367.html
[2] one case of t1lib trying to be clever and instead writing past end of
malloc'd buffer (which the OSX malloc did not like at all; the netbsd
malloc did not get messed up by this). the address sanitizer helped
pinpoint this.

Meera is a TrueType font for the Malayalam language.
This is a comprehensive Malayalam font with 1000+ glyphs for all
common Malayalam ligatures.
It has carefully designed ascent, descent metrics optimized for
Malayalam script's vertically stacked conjuncts. Meera is an even
stroke typeface for better screen rendering, with individually
designed glyphs for complex conjuncts rather than using component
glyphs.
Meera is a san-serif counter part of Rachana font with all traditional
characters. It is also meant for body text like Rachana, preferably
for a pamphlet or single page designs. Usage of Meera can be thought
of similar to Helvetica typeface and its variations like Arial. Meera
Roman glyphs are visually similar to Arial but its orthography
strictly follows Meera Malayalam glyphs. Basic curves and straight
lines are taken from Malayalam ‘റ’ and ‘വ’ characters. This is why
Meera Roman glyphs differ from Helvetica but holds san-serif
characteristics and smoothly sit with its Malayalam glyphs.
Released in 2007, Meera is the default Malayalam font for many
GNU/Linux distros for Malayalam script. The font is widely used in
web as the primary choice for Malayalam screen font. The font is
available only in regular style.

4.33.3 (released 2022-04-26)
----------------------------
- [designspaceLib] Fixed typo in ``deepcopyExceptFonts`` method, preventing font
references to be transferred
dataclass's ``__post_init__`` magic method
4.33.2 (released 2022-04-22)
----------------------------
- [otBase] Make logging less verbose when harfbuzz fails to serialize. Do not exit
at the first failure but continue attempting to fix offset overflow error using
the pure-python serializer even when the ``USE_HARFBUZZ_REPACKER`` option was
explicitly set to ``True``. This is normal with fonts with relatively large
tables, at least until hb.repack implements proper table splitting.
4.33.1 (released 2022-04-22)
----------------------------
- [otlLib] Put back the ``FONTTOOLS_GPOS_COMPACT_MODE`` environment variable to fix
regression in ufo2ft (and thus fontmake) introduced with v4.33.0
This is deprecated and will be removed one ufo2ft gets updated to use the new
config setup.
4.33.0 (released 2022-04-21)
----------------------------
- [OS/2 / merge] Automatically recalculate ``OS/2.xAvgCharWidth`` after merging
fonts with ``fontTools.merge``
- [misc/config] Added ``fontTools.misc.configTools`` module, a generic configuration
system
Added ``fontTools.config`` module, a fontTools-specific configuration
system using ``configTools`` above.
Attached a ``Config`` object to ``TTFont``.
- [otlLib] Replaced environment variable for GPOS compression level with an
equivalent option using the new config system.
- [designspaceLib] Incremented format version to 5.0
Added discrete axes, variable fonts, STAT information, either design- or
user-space location on instances.
Added ``fontTools.designspaceLib.split`` module to split a designspace
into sub-spaces that interpolate and that represent the variable fonts
listed in the document.
Made instance names optional and allow computing them from STAT data instead.
Added ``fontTools.designspaceLib.statNames`` module.
Allow instances to have the same location as a previously defined STAT label.
Deprecated some attributes:
``SourceDescriptor``: ``copyLib``, ``copyInfo``, ``copyGroups``, ``copyFeatures``.
``InstanceDescriptor``: ``kerning``, ``info``; ``glyphs``: use rules or sparse
sources.
For both, ``location``: use the more explicit designLocation.
Note: all are soft deprecations and existing code should keep working.
Updated documentation for Python methods and the XML format.
- [varLib] Added ``build_many`` to build several variable fonts from a single
designspace document
Added ``fontTools.varLib.stat`` module to build STAT tables from a designspace
document.
- [otBase] Try to use the Harfbuzz Repacker for packing GSUB/GPOS tables when
``uharfbuzz`` python bindings are available
"fontTools.ttLib.tables.otBase:USE_HARFBUZZ_REPACKER" config option to ``False``.
If the option is set explicitly to ``True`` but ``uharfbuzz`` can't be imported
or fails to serialize for any reasons, an error will be raised (ImportError or
uharfbuzz errors).
- [CFF/T2] Ensure that ``pen.closePath()`` gets called for CFF2 charstrings
Handle implicit CFF2 closePath within ``T2OutlineExtractor``

- [cffLib] Remove leftover ``GlobalState`` class and fix calls to ``TopDictIndex()``
- [instancer] Clear ``AxisValueArray`` if it is empty after instantiating
4.31.2 (released 2022-03-22)
----------------------------
- [varLib] fix instantiation of GPOS SinglePos values

----------------------------
- [subset] fix subsetting OT-SVG when glyph id attribute is on the root ``<svg>``
element

type BaseTable; useful for traversing a tree of otTables
4.30.0 (released 2022-03-10)
----------------------------
- [varLib] Added debug logger showing the glyph name for which ``gvar`` is built
- [varLib.errors] Fixed undefined names in ``FoundANone`` and ``UnsupportedFormat``
exceptions (ac4d5611).

Make sure hb_blob_create_from_file_or_fail() always returns nullptr in case of failure and not empty blob sometimes. (Khaled Hosny)
Add --passthrough-tables option to hb-subset. (Cosimo Lupo)
Reinstate a pause after basic features in Khmer shaper, fixing a regression introduced in previous release. (Behdad Esfahbod)
Better handling of Regional_Indicator when shaped with RTL-native scripts, reverting earlier fix that caused regressions in AAT shaping.
Overview of changes leading to 4.2.0
Wednesday, March 30, 2022
====================================
- Source code reorganization, splitting large hb-ot-layout files into smaller,
per-subtable ones under OT/Layout/*. Code for more tables will follow suit in
later releases. (Garret Rieger, Behdad Esfahbod)
- Revert Indic shaper change in previous release that broke some fonts and
instead make per-syllable restriction of “GSUB” application limited to
script-specific Indic features, while applying them and discretionary
features in one go. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- Fix decoding of private in gvar table. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- Fix handling of contextual lookups that delete too many glyphs. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- Make “morx” deleted glyphs don’t block “GPOS” application. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- Various build fixes. (Chun-wei Fan, Khaled Hosny)
- New API
+hb_set_next_many() (Andrew John)
The Un-fonts come from the HLaTeX as type1 fonts in 1998 by
Koaunghi Un, he made type1 fonts to use with Korean TeX
(HLaTeX) in the late 1990's and released it under the GPL
license. They were converted to TrueType with the FontForge
(PfaEdit) by Won-kyu Park in 2003. Extra families (10 fonts):
UnPen, UnPenheulim: script UnTaza: typewriter style UnBom:
decorative UnShinmun UnYetgul: old Korean printing style
UnJamoSora, UnJamoNovel, UnJamoDotum, UnJamoBatang
The Un-fonts come from the HLaTeX as type1 fonts in 1998 by
Koaunghi Un, he made type1 fonts to use with Korean TeX
(HLaTeX) in the late 1990's and released it under the GPL
license. They were converted to TrueType with the FontForge
(PfaEdit) by Won-kyu Park in 2003. Core families (9 fonts):
UnBatang, UnBatangBold: serif UnDotum, UnDotumBold: sans-serif
UnGraphic, UnGraphicBold: sans-serif style UnPilgi,
UnPilgiBold: script UnGungseo: cursive, brush-stroke
The package contains some Chinese font metrics (JFM, VF, etc)
for upTeX engine, together with a simple DVIPDFMx font mapping
of Fandol fonts for DVIPDFMx.
These are metrics to use existing Chinese TrueType fonts in
workflows that use LaTeX & dvipdfmx, or pdfLaTeX. The fonts
themselves are not included in the package. Six font families
are supported: kai, song, lishu, fangsong, youyuan and hei. Two
encodings (GBK and UTF-8) are supported.
3.21
* Fix performance regression introduced in version 3.19.
* More reliably support TrueType based variable fonts in harf mode.
3.20
* Two critical bugs related to luaotfload-tool and the cache location have
been corrected.
3.19
* When used with LuaTeX 1.15.0 or newer, variable fonts are supported
when using the harf shaper too.
* A new algorithm for selecting fonts based on font family names allows
to more reliably load fonts based on their family name.
* The compiled font database gets compressed to reduce disk space and
improve performance on newer systems.
* Text automatically gets normalized to Unicode's NFC before shaping.
This improves rendering for text written in decomposed forms for many
fonts. This can be turned off by passing the -normalize font feature.
* The fontloader has been synced with the context code from 2022-02-24.
This fixes some broken rendering of TrueType based variable fonts.
* A number of small bugfixes.
JuliaMono is a monospaced typeface designed for programming in text
editing environments that require a wide range of specialist and
technical Unicode characters.
Version 2.7 of mf2pt1 supports new --output-dir and --save-temps options
for controlling where intermediate and output files are written and if
intermediate files should be retained after execution completes. It also
allows helper programs (mpost, t1asm, and fontforge) to be overridden,
including with arguments, via environment variables.
Two CTAN packages japanese-otf and japanese-otf-uptex are merged into this
package.
Now japanese-otf-uptex is obsolete. New features are followings:
japanese-otf:
* supported halfwidth Katakana in \UTF{} (TeX JP org extension)
* shrunk data size of virtual fonts (TeX JP org extension)
* set FONTDIR RT in OFM for pTeX vertical writing. (TeX JP org extension)
They work with dvips 2022.1 (r62223 or later).
japanese-otf-uptex: v0.27
* introduced multi-weight virtual fonts for Chinese/Korean plain texts.
* update samples.
* there is a new \caution command (dangerous bend).
* Chars selection now use the \texorpdfstring command and the
\TakeFourierOrnament command have been replaced by \FourierOrns.
* chars in the type1 fonts are now in place of digits or letters like
in the OTF font.
* Add `SwashFont` and `BoldSwashFont` features to support LaTeX's
now-builtin `\textsw` and `\swshape` commands, with matching
`SwashFeatures` and `BoldSwashFeatures`.
A simple implementation that has scope to get more complex if need be.
* Remove some legacy code that extended the NFSS in ways that are now
handled by LaTeX2e natively.
* Long neglected updates through various Github Issues and pull requests.
Thanks for your patience with the delays.
- Purisa, Sawasdee: now can be embeded as installable in PDF.
- TlwgTypo, TlwgTypist: fix uneven widths of some glyphs.

Overview of changes leading to 4.0.0
Tuesday, March 1, 2022
====================================
- New public API to create subset plan and gather information on things like
glyph mappings in the final subset. The plan can then be passed on to perform
the subsetting operation. (Garret Rieger)
- Draw API for extracting glyph shapes have been extended and finalized and is
no longer an experimental API. The draw API supports glyf, CFF and CFF2
glyph outlines tables, and applies variation settings set on the font as well
as synthetic slant. The new public API is not backward compatible with the
previous, non-public, experimental API. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- The hb-view tool will use HarfBuzz draw API to render the glyphs instead of
cairo-ft when compiled with Cairo 1.17.5 or newer, setting HB_DRAW
environment variable to 1 or 0 will force using or not use the draw API,
respectively. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- The hb-shape and hb-view tools now default to using HarfBuzz’s own font
loading functions (ot) instead of FreeType ones (ft). They also have a new
option, --font-slant, to apply synthetic slant to the font. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- HarfBuzz now supports more than 65535 (the OpenType limit) glyph shapes and
metrics. See https://github.com/be-fonts/boring-expansion-spec/issues/6 and
https://github.com/be-fonts/boring-expansion-spec/issues/7 for details.
(Behdad Esfahbod)
- New API to get the dominant horizontal baseline tag for a given script.
(Behdad Esfahbod)
- New API to get the baseline positions from the font, and synthesize missing
ones. As well as new API to get font metrics and synthesize missing ones.
(Matthias Clasen)
- Improvements to finding dependencies on Windows when building with Visual
Studio. (Chun-wei Fan)
- New buffer flag, HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRODUCE_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT, that must be set
during shaping for HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT flag to be reliably
produced. This is to limit the performance hit of producing this flag to when
it is actually needed. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- Documentation improvements. (Matthias Clasen)
Changes in version 5.4:
* Fixed handling of PDF files with already existing outlines
in pdfoutline.
* Added a script for extracting outlines from PDF files
(pdf-extract-outline).
* Pango is always used to draw glyphs, options -p and --use-pango are
accepted but ignored.
* Fixed possible outline corruption in pdfoutline with some versions
of PDF::API2 library (Yifeng Li).
* Various code and build system cleanups.

hb_font_set_synthetic_slant(), for improved positioning for synthetically
slanted fonts. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- Fixed unintentional locale dependency in hb_variation_to_string() for decimal
point representation. (Matthias Clasen)
- When applying pair positioning (kerning) the positioning value is split
between the two sides of the pair for improved cursor positioning between

4.28.4 (released 2021-12-15)
----------------------------
- [merge] Merge GDEF marksets in Lookups properly
- [feaLib] Have ``fontTools feaLib`` script exit with error code when build fails
- [svgPathPen] Added ``ntos`` option to customize number formatting (e.g. rounding)
- [subset] Speed up subsetting of large CFF fonts
- [otTables] Speculatively promote lookups to extension to speed up compilation. If the
offset to lookup N is too big to fit in a ushort, the offset to lookup N+1 is going to
be too big as well, so we promote to extension all lookups from lookup N onwards
4.28.3 (released 2021-12-03)
----------------------------
- [subset] Fixed bug while subsetting ``COLR`` table, whereby incomplete layer records
pointing to missing glyphs were being retained leading to ``struct.error`` upon
compiling. Make it so that ``glyf`` glyph closure, which follows the ``COLR`` glyph
closure, does not influence the ``COLR`` table subsetting
- [docs] Fully document the ``cmap`` and ``glyf`` tables
- [colorLib.unbuilder] Fixed CLI by deleting no longer existing parameter (180bb1867).
4.28.2 (released 2021-11-22)
----------------------------
- [otlLib] Remove duplicates when building coverage
- [docs] Add interrogate configuration
- [docs] Remove comment about missing “start” optional argument to ``calcChecksum``
- [cu2qu/cli] Adapt to the latest ufoLib2.
- [subset] Support subsetting SVG table and remove it from the list of drop by default tables
- [subset] add ``--pretty-svg`` option to pretty print SVG table contents
- [merge] Support merging ``CFF`` tables (CID-keyed ``CFF`` is still not supported)
- [merge] Support ``--output-file``
- [docs] Split table docs into individual pages
- [feaLib] Forbid empty classes
- [docs] Improve documentation for ``fontTools.ttLib.ttFont``
3.1.2
hb-shape / hb-view: revert treating text on the commandline as single paragraph (was introduced in 3.0.0); add new --single-par to do that.
Subsetter bug fixes.
4.28.1 (released 2021-11-08)
----------------------------
- [subset] Fixed AttributeError while traversing a color glyph's Paint graph when there is no
LayerList, which is optional
4.28.0 (released 2021-11-05)
----------------------------
- Dropped support for EOL Python 3.6, require Python 3.7
- [ufoLib/glifLib] Make filename-clash checks faster by using a set instead of a list
- [subset] Don't crash if optional ClipList and LayerList are ``None`` (empty)
- [OT-SVG] Removed support for old deprecated version 1 and embedded color palettes,
which were never officially part of the OpenType SVG spec. Upon compile, reuse offsets
to SVG documents that are identical
- [feaLib] Added support for Variable Feature File syntax. This is experimental and subject
to change until it is finalized in the Adobe FEA spec
- [unicodedata] Update Scripts/ScriptExtensions/Blocks to UnicodeData 14.0
4.27.1 (released 2021-09-23)
----------------------------
- [otlLib] Fixed error when chained contextual lookup builder overflows
- [bezierTools] Fixed two floating-point bugs: one when computing `t` for a point
lying on an almost horizontal/vertical line; another when computing the intersection
point between a curve and a line
4.27.0 (released 2021-09-14)
----------------------------
- [ttLib/otTables] Cleaned up virtual GID handling: allow virtual GIDs in ``Coverage``
and ``ClassDef`` readers; removed unused ``allowVID`` argument from ``TTFont``
constructor, and ``requireReal`` argument in ``TTFont.getGlyphID`` method.
Make ``TTFont.setGlyphOrder`` clear reverse glyphOrder map, and assume ``glyphOrder``
internal attribute is never modified outside setGlyphOrder; added ``TTFont.getGlyphNameMany``
and ``getGlyphIDMany``
- [py23] Dropped internal use of ``fontTools.py23`` module to fix deprecation warnings
in client code that imports from fontTools
- [subset] Fix subsetting COLRv1 clip boxes when font is loaded lazily
4.26.2 (released 2021-08-09)
----------------------------
- [otTables] Added missing ``CompositeMode.PLUS`` operator
4.26.1 (released 2021-08-03)
----------------------------
- [transform] Added ``transformVector`` and ``transformVectors`` methods to the
``Transform`` class. Similar to ``transformPoint`` but ignore the translation
part
4.26.0 (released 2021-08-03)
----------------------------
- [xmlWriter] Default to ``"\n"`` for ``newlinestr`` instead of platform-specific
``os.linesep``
- [otData] Define COLRv1 ClipList and ClipBox
- [removeOverlaps/instancer] Added --ignore-overlap-errors option to work around
Skia PathOps.Simplify bug
- NOTE: This will be the last version to support Python 3.6. FontTools will require
Python 3.7 or above from the next release
This font was originally released during the 1930s as part of the
Deutschmeister font family at the type foundry Ludwig Wagner. FDI
Neumeister is a carefully crafted revival released for free under
the Open Font License. This was made possible by the generous
support of people around the world, who pledged for this project
on Kickstarter.
FDI Neumeister has around 400 glyphs covering Western, Eastern and
Central European Latin. Many characters have alternative glyphs,
so both traditional German blackletter typesetting and international
use with improved legibility are possible.

3.1.0
Better offset-overflow handling in the subsetter library. (Garret Rieger)
Improved Unicode 14 properties in the USE shaper, and various other USE shaper fixes. (David Corbett)
MATH and COLR v1 tables subsetting support, and various other subsetter fixes. (Qunxin Liu)
Support for Pwo Karen / Ason Chin medial la. (Simon Cozens)
Apply GPOS positioning when substituting with morx table, if kerx is missing. (Behdad Esfahbod)
Apply calt and clig features across syllable boundaries in Indic shaper. (Behdad Esfahbod)
Meson option for enabling Graphite 2 has been renamed to graphite2.
Build and documentation fixes.
New API:
+hb_buffer_set_not_found_glyph()
+hb_buffer_get_not_found_glyph()
The original TextFonts distfile is no longer available.
The home page has moved (as linked from the previous version) and
reorganized, and now it lists several more/different related fonts. It
would be silly not to package them too, since they fit within the
original package description. The font files are now OTF instead of
TTF. The differences are so much that a new package with a new
appropriate name seemed better than keeping the old package name.
No changelog was found.
Junicode version 1.000 fully implements the Medieval Unicode Font
Initiative version 4.0. It includes numerous bug fixes, most
notably one that affected the stacking of diacritical marks and
another that caused glyphs to "explode" in certain printers.
The Greek face has been moved into its own font, Foulis Greek.
Junicode 1.001 adds some anchors at a users' request. Version 1.002
adds an anchor and a couple of glyphs requested by users and fixes
several bugs.
