* all: Corrected bug that caused incorrect clipping in MS Word for
the Mac. Added sigma in Regular and Italic faces. Incorrect glyph
was displayed for EBA1 in Regular face. uni1EBD added for Bold and
BoldItalic. Anchor added for E8BF in Regular and
Italic. Linespacing numbers revised: we've returned to using
linegap numbers.
2017-09-06 Peter Baker <peter@hengest>
* Junicode, Junicode-Italic: Mkmk failed in different ways in
different applications. It turned out this was about the ways
different shaping engines handled normalization. Solution was to
add anchors to the precomposed characters in the Unicode
Normalization List (single-storey only).
2017-08-27 Peter Baker <peter@hengest>
* Junicode, Junicode-Italic: MUFI 4.0 now fully implemented in
regular and italic faces.
2017-08-16 Peter Baker <peter@hengest>
* Junicode-Italic: Characters and features added to bring italic
face into line with regular. It is now possible to switch back and
forth between regular and italic losslessly.
* Junicode: Greek ranges removed and placed in a new font, Foulis
Greek, which has all the kerning and OT features that were in
Junicode Greek.
* Junicode, Junicode-Italic: Removed ss14 feature as no longer
necessary, now that combining ogonek above is part of the Unicode
standard (U+1DCE). mgrk removed as no longer necessary; Greek math
and PUA charaacters moved from unencoded area to vacated Greek
range. hist now substitues longs for s everywhere except at
word-end and before apostrophe + letter. fina removed as not
appropriate for Latin script.
* All: ccmp "make precomposed" disabled. Must decide whether to
retain this feature.
* Junicode, Junicode-Italic: Selection of cap combining marks
expanded. These are covered by case feature, used automatically in
some applications. Coverage of mark and mkmk features expanded.
* All: Source format is now UFO. Ongoing cleanup of decayed glyphs
(FontForge TrueType editing being somewhat lossy). Change of
format and editor should stop the decay.
* Junicode-Bold, Junicode-BoldItalic: These two faces are being
maintained but not developed further. Anyone want to take them
over?
* All: Too many minor changes to list, over five years.
2012-12-27 Peter Baker <peter@hengest>
* Junicode*: ss17 now used for linguistic alternates. Regularized
underline position and thickness. Added uni0294.alt, accessible
via ss17. theta1 is now present in all faces. anchor added for
scaron.
* Junicode-Italic, Junicode-Regular: Number Forms range now
complete and up-to-date.
* Junicode-Italic: subs lookup added. Roman numbers in Number
Forms range accessible via dlig.
* Junicode-BoldItalic: below-char anchors added for Basic
Latin. uni330 (combining tilde below) added.
* Junicode-Bold: more below-char anchors added in Basic
Latin. uni330 (combining tilde below) added.
2012-11-17 Peter Baker <peter@hengest>
* Junicode*: f_f ligature now behaves like f when vowel with
diacritic follows. -f option for ttfautohint forces hinting of all
characters in the font. Kerning of f-ligatures corrected. Common
ligatures moved to unencoded slots (references left behind for
backward compatibility), improving searchability in PDF
files. Metrics slightly changed to address Windows clipping
problems.
* Junicode-Bold, Junicode-Regular: Small caps added for some base
letter + diacritic combos.
* Junicode-Regular: Fixups of Greek outlines. digamma, koppa, Cap
stigma added. Two more ligatures added from the Foulis-Wilson
specimen.
* Junicode-Italic: Several cap swashes added: A, J, D, Q, AE
(these are used in Hickes's Thesaurus). k_i, s_t ligatures added.
2012-04-08 Peter Baker <peter@hengest>
* Junicode-Regular: All ligatures and stylistic alternates found
in the Foulis Homer have been added in the regular face: these are
accessed via hlig and salt. It may be necessary to set the script
explicitly to Greek to access these Greek features. The style of
rho used in the Foulis Homer has been made the default.
2012-04-01 Peter Baker <peter@hengest>
* Junicode-Regular, Junicode-Italic, Junicode-Bold,
Junicode-BoldItalic: Gothic now in all four faces. Original Gothic
moved to Bold; Gothic in Regular harmonizes with small caps;
skewed versions in Italic and BoldItalic.
* Junicode.tex: revised Gothic specimen; added note on use of mgrk
to get IPA shapes of beta and theta.
2012-03-27 Peter Baker <peter@hengest>
* Junicode-Regular: Added Gothic range; added lookups ss19
(Latin-to-Gothic tranliteration) and ss20 (Gothic-to-Latin
transliteration).
2012-03-07 Peter Baker <peter@hengest>
* Junicode-Bold, Junicode-Italic, Junicode-BoldItalic: Swashes
(for Middle English) for all 4 faces
* All: Improvements for Turkish (including dotted small-cap
i). These should be automatic via locl.
* All: Improved shape of dcaron, tcaron, lcaron (with kerning) for
Eastern European languages
* Junicode-Bold: small caps for bold face
* Junicode-Bold, Junicode-BoldItalic: added capital Eszett, U+1E9E
* Junicode-Regular, Junicode-Bold: small cap Eszett when c2sc is
applied to U+1E9E
* Junicode-Regular, Junicode-Italic, Junicode-Bold: IPA shapes of
beta, theta available at U+701, U+702 (and alternative omega in
regular at U+703). Preferred method of accessing these is still
via standard beta and theta + mgrk
* All: arrows at U+2190 - U+2193; emptyset at U+2205
* All: f.alt accessible via salt
* All: kern f + exclam
* All: obsolete MUFI code points removed; these codes may be reused.
* All: minimal Panose values
* All: additional small caps for Eastern European languages
* All: additional small caps for Turkish
* Junicode-Bold, Junicode-Italic, Junicode-BoldItalic: more MUFI
characters here and there
* Junicode-Regular, Junicode-Italic: some filling in of Latin
Extended B
* Junicode-Regular, Junicode-Italic: deleted s03 lookup
* Junicode-Regular: A number of Fleurons in retired MUFI code
points in the PUA
* Junicode-Regular: continuing to add Greek historic
ligatures. Try omicron + upsilon, epsilon + iota, alpha + iota,
alpha + upsilon, with various accents.
* Junicode-Regular: reordered GPOS kern lookups to fix a problem
in Scribus
