unifont 1:6.3.20131221-1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
unifont (1:6.3.20131221-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* debian/control:
- Added Build-Depends-Indep entries in unifont entry for
fontforge and xfonts-utils, removing them from Build-Depends.
(Also adding build-indep target in debian/rules to match.)
- Simplified Build-Depends entry for debhelper to be >= 9.
* debian/rules:
- override_dh_auto_build-indep: new target.
- override_dh_auto_build-arch: new target.
- Removed override_dh_auto_build target.
* debian/unifont-bin.doc-base:
- Title: Added "and Reference" "GNU Unifont Utilities Tutorial".
- Added to Abstract.
- Added entries for unfont.info.gz and unifont.pdf.gz.
* debian/unifont-bin.docs: removed ChangeLog. Its contents
now get added to debian/changelog after the debian/ entries.
* ChangeLog: corrected date on last entry from 12-27 to 12-17.
* Makefiles: updated date for new release.
* font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex: Modified glyphs to appear better
in APL: U+22F8, U+233B, U+233E, U+235B, and U+2364.
* font/ttfsrc/Makefile: commented out SetFontNames function calls
in fontforge. Not all applications were interpreting that data
correctly. For example, in LibreOffice, it listed the font as
the foundry name ("GNU") rather than the foundry name plus the
font name ("GNU Unifont") or just the font name. That is a bug
in LibreOffice, so if such things are fixed in the future then
these calls can be re-introduced.
* src/hex2bdf:
- Rearranged some properties (cosmetic change).
- Changed default font name from "unifont" to "Unifont".
* src/unigencircles.c: changed subscript from MAXSTRING to
MAXSTRING-1 at line 61.

Binary packages built by this source
- ttf-unifont: TrueType version of GNU Unifont
This contains two fonts: "Unifont" and "Unifont Sample".
.
unifont.ttf is a bitmap font converted into a scalable TrueType
outline font, Unifont. Each pixel in the original bitmap font
is represented as an outlined square. The font provides a glyph
for each visible code point (character) in the Unicode Basic
Multilingual Plane (Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the
world's modern writing scripts. This font looks best at 12pt.
.
unifont_sample.ttf is an SBIT font that contains combining circles
and is therefore suitable for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs.
unifont.ttf does not contain combining circles and so is suitable
for general-purpose writing.
.
Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters
change shape depending on their position in a word, or such as
Mongolian, which is written vertically) will not render perfectly.
The philosophy behind this font, though, is that anything meaningful
is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.
- unifont: font with a glyph for each visible Unicode Plane 0 character
This package is a convenient way to install both the PCF bitmap
version and the scalable TrueType outline version of "Unifont"
(intended for general-purpose use) and "Unifont Sample" (which contains
combining circles to use for illustration purposes). It also installs
a copy of unifont.hex and related files in /usr/share/unifont.
.
GNU Unifont was designed to render something besides an empty box
for each visible Unicode character in the Basic Multilingual Plane
(Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the world's modern writing
scripts. This font looks best at 12pt.
.
Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters
change shape depending on their position in a word, or such as
Mongolian, which is written vertically) will not render perfectly.
The philosophy behind this font, though, is that anything meaningful
is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.

- xfonts-unifont: PCF (bitmap) version of GNU Unifont
This contains two fonts: "Unifont" (unifont.pcf.gz) and
"Unifont Sample" (unifont_sample. pcf.gz) .
.
This is a bitmap version of Unifont and Unifont Sample in a
standard X11 format. The fonts provide a glyph for each visible
code point (character) in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane
(Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the world's modern writing
scripts. These fonts look best at 12pt.
.
Unifont Sample contains combining circles for combining characters,
and so is suited for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs, whereas
Unifont is intended for general-purpose writing.
.
Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters
change shape depending on their position in a word, or such as
Mongolian, which is written vertically) will not render perfectly.
The philosophy behind Unifont, though, is that anything meaningful
is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.
.
Consider using the TrueType version instead (ttf-unifont), because
that version is scalable to any point size and has proper combining
character support.
