+2014-02-02: Release 6.3.20140202
+
+ This version is the first designed to easily build multiple fonts.
+ To accomplish this, font/Makefile and font/ttfsrc/Makefile were
+ modified to pass FONT and COMBINING parameters, giving the names
+ of the font file and its associated combining.txt file.
+
+ This version introduces a subset of Unicode's Supplemental Multilingual
+ Plane (SMP, or Plane 1). The file "font/plane01/plane01.hex" contains
+ a glyph for every visible code point in the Unicode 5.0 SMP except
+ "Cuneiform" and "Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation"; those two scripts
+ require more resolution than what will fit within a 16 by 16 pixel grid.
+ Andrew Miller drew well over 1,000 glyphs for this effort, and added
+ glyphs for several SMP scripts introduced after Unicode 5.0.
+
+ This version also introduces a subset of the ConScript Unicode
+ Registry (CSUR) Private Use Area glyphs. Wojciech Stryjewski created
+ glyphs for Tengwar and Klingon -- Tolkien fans and Trekkies rejoice!
+ Paul Hardy drew Cirth to finish the Tolkien set, and drew other scripts.
+ Andrew Miller made very extensive additions for the CSUR; see the
+ ChangeLog for details.
+
+ Finally, this version includes a special PSF font for using APL
+ in console mode on GNU/Linux. This PSF font contains 512 glyphs
+ as a subset of Unifont; it will not work on systems that only
+ support PSF fonts with 256 glyphs. This PSF font will support
+ GNU APL and several other APL implementations.
+
+ The names of the font files are as follows:
+
+ unifont-* Font with Unifont Plane 0 glyphs
+
+ unifont_sample-* Font with Unifont glyphs, with combining
+ circles added for illustration
+
+ unifont_csur-* Font with glyphs from Unifont plus the
+ CSUR PUA glyphs
+
+ unifont_upper-* Font with glyphs from Planes 1 through 14
+
+ unifont_upper_csur-* Font with glyphs from Planes 1 through 15
+
+ Unifont-APL8x16.psf.gz The APL console font
+
+Glyphs for code points U+FFFE and U+FFFF, previously added for illustration
+purposes in unifont_sample, were removed because they caused problems on
+Microsoft Windows XP. These glyphs are still included in the large bitmap
+graphic of Unifont but are no longer in the font itself.
+
+Many other small changes were made as noted in the ChangeLog file, but
+support for glyphs beyond Unicode's Basic Multilingual Plane is the most
+notable change.
+
+2013-12-21: Release 6.3.2013121
+
+ The default font name that hex2bdf creates has changed from
+ lower-case "unifont" to "Unifont".
+
+ FontForge's SetFontNames function calls were removed because
+ not all applications correctly interpreted their settings.
+ For example, LibreOffice only listed Unifont by the foundry
+ name ("GNU") rather than foundry + font name ("GNU Unifont")
+ or just the font name. Those calls are only commented out
+ so they could easily be re-introduced.
+
+ Some glyphs were changed for better appearance with APL.
