unifont-7.0.01.tar.gz

* Changed version numbering from a date at the end to a two-digit
  release number for a given Unicode version, where a Unicode version
  consists of a major number and a minor number.  So this version is
  Unifont 7.0.01, because it is the first revision to implement the
  Unifont 7.0 glyphs.  Richard Stallman made this request.
* INSTALL: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new
  directory name.
* README:
  - Changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new directory name.
  - Added mention of Andrew Miller writing unifont-viewer.
* doc/: incorporated unifont-viewer.texi into unifont.texi.
* doc/Makefile: corrected comments for building texinfo output files,
  and simplified docprep target.
* doc/unifont-viewer.texi: added file.
* doc/unifont.texi:
  - Corrected naming of section "Using Graphical Tools"; it was
    incorrectly named "Hex File Format", which is the name of the
    preceding section.
  - Added new section on "Dynamically Viewing a Unifont File" to
    describe using the unifont-viewer Perl utility.
  - Added unifont-viewer man page sub-section to Reference section.
* doc/unifontpic.texi: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
  the new directory name.
* doc/unigencircles.texi: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
  the new directory name.
* font/Makefile:
  - Added font/plane0[1-F]csur/*.hex in hex: target to sort input
    for building fonts containing CSUR glyphs above Plane 0.
  - Added all combining character code points in uppercsurttf target.
  - Added creation of unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).hex.  This
    involved the creation of combining and nonprinting files in
    "font/compiled/" directory.  Also added creation of
    unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).bdf and
    the SBIT font unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).ttf.
  - Added generation of Supplemental Multilingual Plane glyphs
    to "font/compiled/bmp/" directory.
  - Renamed "font/compiled/bmp/uni??.bmp" to
    "font/compiled/bmp/uni00??.bmp" to appear before SMP bitmap files.
  - compiled/bmp no longer created; replaced with compiled/png.
  - compiled/png now contains sample glyphs in Portable Network
    Graphics format (with combining circles where appropriate),
    in subdirectories "plane00", "plane01", "plane0E", and "csur".
  - clean target now also removes "$(COMPILED_DIR)/*.sfd.gz".
* font/index.html: added table for Supplemental Multilingual Plane.
* font/plane00: Added the 327 new glyphs introduced to Plane 0 in
  Unicode 7.0.  This involved adding glyphs to unifont-base.hex,
  adding combining code points to bmp-combining.txt, and removing
  newly-defined glyphs from unassigned.hex.
* font/plane00/README: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
  the new directory name.
* font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
  - Redrew U+0D00 and U+2702.
  - Redrew Halfwidth Katakana Variants, U+FF65 through U+FF9F, because
    the original glyphs were too tall compared to the rest of Unifont.
  - Using new versions of U+2619 (the "Aldus leaf"), U+2622,
    and U+26DF that Nils Moskopp submitted.
* font/plane00csur/csur.hex: removed U+EFFF as a Copyleft symbol, as
  it is not part of the ConScript Unicode Registry.
* font/plane01/Makefile: created Makefile to generate "unassigned.hex"
  from "unassigned-ranges.txt".
* font/plane01/plane01.hex:
  - Paul Hardy added these scripts: Phaistos Disc, Coptic Epact
    Numbers, Imperial Aramaic, Lydian, Old South Arabian, Old North
    Arabian, and Enclosed Ideographic Supplement (modeled after glyphs
    in Wen Quan Yi).  Also added new glyphs to complete Phoenician.
    Also added glyphs to complete the 7.0 additions for Ancient Greek
    Numbers, Ancient Symbols, and Old Italic.
  - Andrew Miller added new glyphs for Playing Cards and Enclosed
    Alphanumeric Supplement.  Also drew more glyphs for Mathematical
    Alphanumeric Supplement.
  - Nils Moskopp drew the new Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs.
* font/plane01/unassigned-ranges.txt: completed all unassigned ranges
  for scripts that the Unicode Consortium has assigned.
* font/plane01/plane01-nonprinting.hex: created file.
* man/:
  - Added references to unifont-viewer in all other man pages.
  - Removed an extraneous ".PP" that appeared in some man pages before
    a new section header.
* man/unifont.5: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00".
* man/unifont-viewer.1: created file.
* man/unifontpic.1: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00".
* man/unigencircles.1: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00".
* src/unifont-viewer: added new program to view Unifont hex files.
* src/unifontpic.c: changed "6.3" version number to "7.0".
* src/unigencircles.c: extended to cover the entire Unicode range.
* src/unihexfill: new program to pad a script with glyphs that are
  four or six digits.  Among other uses, this will allow Debian
  GNU/Linux's font review script to report Unicode script completion
  percentage accurately for Unifont.
