unifont-6.3.20140202.tar.gz

* Makefiles: updated date for new release.
* NEWS: updated for new release.
* README: updated for new release, notably mentioning that
  "font/hexsrc" has been renamed to "font/plane00".
* doc/: regenerated unifont.txt, unifont.info, and unifont.pdf files
  after addition of doc/hexkinya.texi.
* doc/Makefile (docprep): added new target to remove the files
  created by "make doc", in preparation for running "make doc" again.
* doc/hexkinya.texi: added Texinfo file for hexkinya Perl script.
* doc/unifont.texi: updated file to reflect "font/hexsrc" being
  renamed to "font/plane00" and made other changes to reflect
  support beyond the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane.
* font/Makefile:
  - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
  - Add unifont_upper font files for Plane 1 through Plane 14 glyphs.
  - Add unifont_upper_csur font files for Plane 1 through Plane 15
    glyphs (currently there are no glyphs for Plane 16, the highest
    plane that the  Unicode Standard allows).
  - Create Unifont-APL8x16.psf.gz console font file, to support
    running GNU APL and other APL implementations in console mode.
    This font is a 512 glyph subset of Unifont.
* font/Makefile (bigpic): construct giant glyph picture using
  font/plane00/*.hex rather than font/compiled/unifont_sample*.hex,
  because the latter doesn't contain glyphs for U+FFFE or U+FFFF
  (removed to appease MS Windows).
* font/Makefile (hex): added egrep -v "^FFF[EF]" to make sure
  U+FFFE and U+FFFF are removed from font, for Windows XP.
* font/plane00: new name of previous "font/hexsrc" directory, now
  that this package contains multiple Unicode planes.
* font/plane00/README: updated to mention new "omit.hex" file.
* font/plane00/bmp-combining.txt: formerly "font/ttfsrc/combining.txt".
* font/plane00/nonprinting.hex: removed U+FFFE and U+FFFF to
  appease MS Windows XP (see font/plane00/omit.hex entry below).
* font/plane00/omit.hex: consists of U+FFFE and U+FFFF, for the
  sake of MS Windows XP.
* font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: Further tweaks to APL glyphs.
* font/plane00csur:
  - Created ConScript Unicode Registry directory, for glyphs in Michael
    Everson's PUA mapping ("http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/").
  - Added contributions of Wojciech Stryjewski: Tengwar and Klingon.
  - Added contributions of Andrew Miller: Kinya (partial), aUI,
    Gargoyle, Ewellic, Unifon, Solresol, Visible Speech, and Monofon.
  - Added contributions of Paul Hardy: Cirth and Aiha.
* font/plane01: created directory for Unicode Plane 1 glyphs.
  - Added glyphs contributed by Roman Czyborra and Andrew Miller:
    Old Italic.
  - Added glyphs contributed by Andrew Miller: Ancient Symbols,
    Lycian, Carian, Ugaritic, Old Persian, Musical Symbols,
    Tai Xuan Jing Symbols, Counting Rod Numerals, Mathematical
    Alphanumeric Symbols (partial), Mahjong Tiles, Domino Tiles,
    Playing Cards, Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement, and Miscellaneous
    Symbols and Pictographs (partial).
  - Added glyphs contributed by Paul Hardy: Linear B Syllabary,
    Linear B Ideograms, Aegean Numbers, Ancient Greek Numbers,
    Gothic, Deseret, Shavian, Osmanya, Cypriot Syllabary, Phoenician,
    Kharoshthi, Byzantine Musical Symbols, and Ancient Greek Musical
    Notation.
* font/plane0E: added scripts contributed by Andrew Miller: Tags and
  Variation Selectors Supplement.
* font/plane0Fcsur: added glyphs from Michael Everson's ConScript
  Unicode Registry (CSUR) contriubted by Andrew Miller: Kinya Syllables.
* font/psf: added directory with files to build new PSF font version,
  to allow APL use under GNU/Linux in console mode.
* font/ttfsrc: simplified directory to only contain a Makefile;
  other files were moved to "font/plane00/" as a precursor to allow
  parallel building of multiple fonts.
* font/ttfsrc/Makefile:
  - Updated VERSION date.
  - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
* hangul/README: changed mention of "font/hexsrc" to new location
  of "font/plane00".
* man/hexkinya.1: added man page for Andrew Miller's hexkinya Perl
  script, also cross-referenced in all other man pages.
* src/hexkinya: new script by Andrew Miller to generate Kinya Private
  Use Area glyphs in Plane 15, saved under "font/plane0Fcsur/".
* src/unibmp2hex.c: added forced double width for appropriate
  Plane 1 (Supplemental Multilingual Plane) scripts now that
  this package extends beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane.
* src/unipagecount.c: corrected license from GPL3+ to GPL2+.
