2010-09-19 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Sinhala: Fixed one lookup table mistake, and a couple of glpyh
omissions, that Harshula pointed out.
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansBold.sfd, FreeSansBoldOblique.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd:
Sans: Applied Daniel Johnsons improvement to capital Eng to Sans, as
described in previous commits.
* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd:
Coptic: added alphabet to bold. Accent marks not working -- a mystery.
Some tweeks in medium face as well.
glyph cleanup -- points too close, some glyphs outside bounding boxes.
2010-09-17 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Sinhala: tightened up left side of na and derivatives.
tighened up left sides of u, lla, na, dha, ndha, nya, jnya
tightened up some of the vowel conjuncts, and left side of nna.
2010-09-16 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Coptic: fiddled about with letter forms, striving for a kind of
consistency.
Sinhala: Harshula noticed four incorrect combined forms. Fixed these.
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
Latin Extended-A: Applied Daniel Johnson's patch that made two versions
of capital Eng. His explanation:
'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8A
The form of capital Eng currently in all three FreeFont faces
is that used by the Sami people, resembling a capital N with a
hooked right descender.
However, the form preferred for African and Amerindian
languages resembles a tall lowercase n with a hook that almost
meets the left vertical. (See wikipedia link above for a
visual.)
Recommend moving the existing Sami-style Eng to a PUA or
non-Unicode slot, creating African-style Eng at U+014A, and
adding a LOCL table with substitution rules for
Inari Sami (ISM), Lule Sami (LSM),
Northern Sami (NSM) and Skolt Sami (SKS).
'
Latin Extended-B: Also in his patch:
added U+0220 (Latin Capital Letter N with long leg)
2010-09-15 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Latin for Sami: Daniel Johnson's patch added alternative form of Eng for
African languages and a 'local' table for the Sami form.
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Sinhala: regularized kundaliya a bit.
re-named a few more ligature glyphs, for consistency
* FreeSans.sfd:
Put stray lookup into its proper subtable.
Gurmukhi: improved some names of ligature glyphs, and found one
apparently doubled table entry (kagurmukhi_nuktagurmukhi.nukt now
gur_ka.nukt)
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Various measures to fix problems FontForge Find Problems reports under
ATT, including a mass glyph rename of Sinhala ligatures.
2010-09-15 Stevan_White

Dozens of measures to pass general validation tests, including
. cleanup of many glyphs for extrema and self-intersection problmes
. re-naming glyphs whose PS names are too long.
. removing blank glyphs
. giving Unicode points to glyphs missing them.
There are still a few lookup table issues in FreeSerif and FreeSans though.
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Re-named some of the Sinhala lookups in somewhat better way.
Control Pictures: added a bunch (but... is it worth it?)
* tools/nameBySlot.py:
Corrected output for high Unicode.
* tools/checkGlyphNumbers.py:
Made aware of special TrueType slots.
* tools/range_report.py:
Added a Private Use total and better explanation of totals generally.

2010-09-07 Stevan_White

Buginese: lookup tables and glyphs to re-order vowels, courtesy of
Mohammad Anwari.
Sinhala: complete replacement of range with glyphs extracted more
directly from Yannis Haralambous' sinha TeX font (last version was
also derived from this font, but had undergone detrimental processing).
Implements "rak" glyphs using three GSUB lookup steps.
* FreeSans.sfd:
Osmanya: courtesy of Daniel Johnson.
Note this script is slanted in every sample I've seen. That is
justification enough that the glyphs in this range look slated,
although the face isn't oblique.
UCAS Extended: by Daniel Johnson
2010-09-05 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Fix for FontForge warning (v 20090923)
"On Windows many apps will have problems with this font's kerning,
because because 58 of its glyph kern pairs cannot be mapped to
unicode-BMP kern pairs"
This was due to kern tables for the Musical Symbols range, which isn't
in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane.
Removed this lookup. Might consider another way to position these
symbols.
2010-08-30 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:

* FreeSerif.sfd:
Resolves class of validation problems in Sinhala: Bad Glyph Name.
This is a FontForge bug, that appears when certain types of problems
occur in the glyph contours. Probably an arithmetic error causes some
corruption.
Corrected missing extrema in recent Latin Extended-D range
Sinhala: re-did previous patch using a more recent one.
Un-did some other glyph changes that didn't help much anyway.

Vietnamese: Much adjustment of horn letters,
also general adjustement of marks
2010-08-02 Stevan_White

Corrected some language names
A bit o kerning
* FreeSerifBold.sfd:
Fixed problem with name. This should be the same as before the revision
except for the fix.
The KDE font installer was saying this face was incorrectly named
Free Serif Bold Italic, but this wasn't quite correct. One of the other
language names said it was named Free Serif Halvfett Kursiv, which
conflicted with that language name for the real Free Serif Bold Italic.
Regression: for some unknown reason, previous release gets built so
that my system thinks it is Free Serif Bold Italic.
This is a mystery. There is nothing about Italic in the file.

Removed TTF Names for 'sample text' and all 'license URL' except English,
1) in response to FontForge complain that large names tables conflict
with recent Windows patches

Added at 0x0000 0x0001 0x000D characters
.notdef .null nonmarkingreturn
These are NOT UNICODE they are to satisfy an essentially undocumented
"feature" of FontForge, ( in source tottf.c, AssignNotdefNull() )
And a funny strong suggestion of TrueType fonts, that they begin with
three special characters (evidently different from encoding slots)
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/recom.htm
FontForge looks for these glyphs in certain places and copies them.
Otherwise, apparently, it will find a glyph elsewhere (unclear how) and
copy it there, possibly resulting in something quite wrong
(such as a non-monospace font).
The three are copied to the end of TTF fonts (only one to the end of OTF
fonts)

quadratic.
Here, the GaspTable from that commit is preserved,
However there were evidently numerous other changes that weren't

Added GASP tables for control of hinting/smoothing (anti-alising) of
TrueType.
Now the values are better suited to the EM size of the fonts.
Further adjustment (based say on stem width) might still be profitable.

Adjusted PS Private values according to understanding of
Adobe Type 1 Font Format (Ch. 5, Private Dictionary)
Not completely clear on BlueScale, and StemSnap values are still a
mystery. (FontForge 'guess' seems to do little or nothing, and I
don't know where these values came from)
Original hope was to improve appearance of overshoot in Sans, but it
seems that my renderers ignore this information.

Kerning: Had grouped letters with round bowls on left (e,c,0,d,q)
together, but now see the original Nimbus fonts had left bounds that
vary by 10 EM or more, which is quite visible. I am correcting a
flaw in the original font in a very difficult and complex way.
It would be much better to make the bounds of these similar letters
to be equal.
To do: same for punctuation, copy to other styles of Sans.

Harshula.
The auxiliary Sinhala are all from the LKLUG font.

Copied glyphs from LKLUG font, as discussed with Harshula Jayasuriya.
http://sinhala.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sinhala/sinhala/fonts/
This font is derived from a Metafont font: This package was
originally developed by Yannis Haralambous (Yannis.Haralambous at
univ-lille1 fr), with funding from the Wellcome Institute for the
History of Medicine, 183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE, England (Contact
person: Dominik Wujastyk (D.Wujastyk at ucl ac uk)), which is using
the font in its Catalogue of Sinhala Manuscript. The original package
was available by ftp at ftp.bcc.ac.uk in:
/pub/users/ucgadkw/indology/software/sinhala1-TeX.zip
The hope is to eventually pull glyphs directly from the original MF
files.

danda and doubledanda of Devanagari I understand are to be shared among
Indic scripts. So included bng2 and dev2 in the 'aalt' table for those.
The 'init' and 'half' tables for Bengali made active for bng2.
The 'locl' table for Bengali didn't do anything I could see: It mapped
the Devanagari danda to itself, and the doubledanda to itself. Deleted.

* FreeSansOblique.sfd:
Added Armenian ligatures, lookups. Cleaned up contours.
* FreeSans.sfd:
Added 5 Armenian ligatures to U+FB13 FB17, and made corresponding
'liga' lookup. Found there one ligature u+0587 that according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_alphabet
"in new orthography the և character is not a typographical ligature anymore, and must never be treated as such. It is a distinct letter and has its place in the new alphabetic sequence."
So moved this out of the 'liga' lookup and into a new 'hlig' lookup.

* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Lots of improvements to Thai.
Completely revised letter spacing in Italic, and fiddled with combining
marks in all.
Still aren't working quite right, especially in Italic.
Still need to work over digits (in Bold they aren't even bold yet)
* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Bold Thai : added (painstakingly) constructed glyphs, lookups
roman Thai: tweeks
Italic Thai: tweeks (Note this still has multiple problems)
2008-10-25 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
WAZU says
http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Hanunoo.html
MPH 2B Damase doesn't support the consonant-vowel ligatures necessary
to render Buhid writing.
OK, so I made 'mark' lookups for combining marks and a bunch of
ligatures in an 'rlig' lookup. The latter still not working:
don't know why.
Made page to match the example of the combining forms at
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/hanunoo.htm
2008-10-24 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Removed some marks from Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Tweeked combining marks for Vietnamese. Made to satisfy
WAZU JAPAN Comprehensive Unicode Test Page for Vietnamese
http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Test_Vietnamese.html
Could still use some tweeking...
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Added marks for composition of Vietnamese
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd:
Put "below" combining mark on lots of vowels and derivatives,
for Vietnamese.
Named a bunch of composit Latin, expecting to make substitutions.
2008-10-23 Stevan_White

Cleanup of glyphs in Gujarati, Devanagari.
Note: Serious problem with Sans GPOS abvm in Devanagari
"'abvm' Above Base Mark in Devanagari subtable" "gujr-0"
But all the characters that list gujr-0 are in Gujarati.
Not sure how this got broken or how to fix it.
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Fiddled with Thai mark positioning: passes my tests now OK.
Made a few more references in Math Symbols; more regularization of
stroke.
* FreeSerif.sfd:

Added some Greek symbols in Mono and Sans to make a little more regular
and correspond better with TeX.
Tweek of serif.
* FreeSansBold.sfd:
a few more improvements.
One problem with the Mathematical Alphanumeric area is, one must
remember to change it any time another face is altered...
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansBold.sfd, FreeSansBoldOblique.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd:
Several improvements and additions to Sans faces (mostly in Greek) from
experience of pasting into FreeSerif Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols.
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Replaced most of Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols
roman italic bold (latin and greek)
gothic italic bold (latin and greek)
typewriter
and numerals
with glyphs from FreeFont. These were scaled to uniform height.

Made lots more IPA and Phonetic Extensions
Note: fontforge is reporting an error in a few glyphs made by scaling
another, that the glyphs are drawn in the wrong direction--only in
TrueType though. Suspect a FontForge bug.

of in italic.
* FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd:
More glyphs in higher Cyrillic range
* FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Same process of tightening el, em, ge (but a P.S. to previous commit:
also did ya, ze for SerifBold.)
* FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
BoldItalic: Tightened up spacing on left of el, em, ge (could go
farther, but it is partly a problem with glyph design...

2008-09-27 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Replaced Malayalam range with that from Rachana_04 found on
Swathanthra Malayalam Computing project page
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/smc/
Besides scaling and converting to cubic, performed much clean-up of
glyphs, added an r2 character, and re-named a bunch of characters.
2008-09-23 Stevan_White
* tools/ranges.py:
Corrections and additions to several ranges,
put extra row in table with character totals
2008-09-22 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Filled in as much of Phonetic Extensions as I could without artistic
abilities.
Note 1D48-9 are not references due to apparent FontForge bug, that says
scaled references go in wrong direction.
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Cleaup of some Bengali glyphs.
Note many of the ligatures remain very very messy.
* Makefile:
added more validations
made to work with GenerateOpenType
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Built two more easy Phonetic Extensions
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Built some Phonetic Extensions letters, those with middle tilde

2008-09-21 Stevan_White
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansBold.sfd, FreeSansBoldOblique.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd:
Added lots of Spacing Modifier Letters and Combining Diacritical Marks.
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd, FreeSans.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd:
Wrote script to check if glyph encodings were in stated ranges, fixed
most discrepancies.
There were a bunch of incompletely deleted characters in several faces.
Sans: found several other problems in the process
# Tamil
Four slots labelled 0BDA-D have glyphs, not in Unicode. also 0BE1
I think they are misplaced; added 0010 to each of them
# Devanagari
Slot labelled U+093B is not in Unicode--can't find glyph: deleted
likewise 094F (may have been meant to be 0954)
0955, 0973-0976
0954 should be a combining mark, but it appears on the wrong side of 0.
0971 was just wrong--made into simple dot.
0972 is also wrong--made my own Candra A.
# Gujarati
Slots labelled 0AE4-5 are not in Unicode; seem not to belong at all.
Deleted. 2800 is a dup of 2790. Deleted
Serif: phillipine_double u1736 was misplaced
A bunch of the Math Alphanumeric symbols are empty in the standard,
because they're represented elsewhere. These should be deleted
First need to make style consistent with existing symbols.
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Applied patch from Daniel J
Remedies bug
FreeSerif: Missing glyphs with palatal hook
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?24298
Adding several letters to Phoenetic Extensions range U+1D80-BF
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
Made four characters U+200C-F to be zero-width
Remedy to bug #23593: Mono 0-width chars: zero-width or space?
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?23593
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Made Mahjong tiles to take up less space using references
Cleaned up several validation problems
2008-09-20 Stevan_White
* tools/checkGlyphNumbers.py:
included other Private Use Ranges
2008-09-19 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Added several Hebrew Alphabetic Presentation Forms (some easy ones), to
make its coverage the same as Serif Bold.
* FreeSerifBold.sfd:
Re-encoded.
Deleted several glyphs in Hebrew Alphabetic Presentation Forms that
didn't correspond valid Unicode
* FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeSans.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Ran script to find mis-numbered glyphs. Several were simply typos,
some offset by one.
* FreeSansOblique.sfd:
Numerous cases of glyphs in Private Use area incorrectly assigned
Unicode numbers and names. Gave all -1 for Unicode and named like
"slot.XXXX".
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Adapted Mahjong Tiles from George Douros' Unicode Symbols font.
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Added Domino Tiles. Domino outline is copied from George Douros'
Unicode Symbols, but the rest I preferred to do with references.
2008-09-19 Stevan_White
* tools/ranges.py:
corrected and simplified calculation of whether OS/2 bit is set.
Now works mostly perfectly, except for some high Unicode ranges...
* tools/GenerateOpenType:
Made to output old-style kerning tables for Windows
(FontForge complains though)
* tools/GenerateTrueType:
Made to hint before instructing: FontForge bases TT instructions on hints
although hints are not put into TrueType fonts.
* tools/hex_range.py:
cosmetic tweek
* tools/isMonoMono.py:
re-worked to take a list of files as input
* tools/ranges.py:
re-structured code and corrected a few ranges
2008-09-18 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Adapted Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols from George Douros' Unicode
Symbols font.
* FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd:
This one got away from me--I don't know what I did.
Looks like some small contour edits.
* FreeSansBoldOblique.sfd:
Fixed one mis-numberd character in Latin Extended-B
* FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Fixed several mis-numbered characters.
* FreeSansBold.sfd:
SansBold: one Georgian letter with no name, one Zapf Dingbat was
unnumbered
ATT test shows a bunch of problems with Gurmukhi and 'blwf' table
indeed shows those letters at 0x10000+
Sans names them like uni0A30_uni0A4D.blwf: they are in range
ECC6 to ED06
I meant to move this range into Private Use in last release, and
missed it. So now it is moved, into same range as Sans.
Both Sans and SansBold in nukt table for Gurmukhi have duplicate
entries for uni0A15 uni0A3C. Deleted dups.
* FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
fixed a number of Unassigned Code Points in Greek Extended
* FreeSansOblique.sfd:
mis-numbered Combining Diacritics
* FreeSansOblique.sfd:
Several chars in Latin Extended hadn't been named.
One spurious letter in Letterlike Symbols
2008-09-16 Stevan_White
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeSans.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd:
Lots of additions: unless otherwise noted, they are from George Duros'
fonts Analecta, Music, and Unicode (haven't got final confirmation of
the eligibility of these glyphs, so this is just for testing.)
Added some combining marks, fiddled a bit. In both Serif & Mono, tried
to get a key symbol characters to fit inside the key combining mark
Serif
Got rid of ears on Upsilon
Added:
# Gothic
# Western & Byzantine Musical Symbols
# Misc Symbols, Misc Technical Symbols (drew many myself)
# Supplemental Symbols and Arrows
Mono
Added:
# lotsa Misc Technical Symbols
# OCR Symbols
# drew many Supplemental Symbols and Arrows, Misc Technical
Sans
Added # Phoenecian
Made a few Letterlike Symbols; Made Re and Im to be sans-serif.
2008-09-11 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Removed pointless entries from Latin kern table
Tidied points in Sinhala
2008-09-07 Stevan_White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Tidied up Tamil ligatures EEA8-EEAB to fix TT build warning
"MonotonicFindAlong: Never found our spline."
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeSans.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, Makefile:
Added APL characters to FreeMono (why?...)
Fixed several last-minute problems, including
Serif: Tweeked GPOS mark table for Cyrillic
Sans: Added a GPOS table for Cyrillic (but several diacritics missing)
Serif, Mono: tweeked some bugs in extensible brackets & integrals
Serif: Vietnamese o circumflex: accent was a bit high. fixed.
MonoBoldOblique OTF build
uni213b intersects self
Generation of TT fonts complains about several things to stderr,
including:
SerifBold: "There exists a 'fpgm' code that seems incompatible with FontForge's. Instructions generated will be of lower quality. If legacy hinting is to be scrapped, it is suggested to clear the `fpgm` and repeat autoinstructing. It will be then possible to append user's code to FontForge's 'fpgm', but due to possible future updates, it is extremely advised to use high numbers for user's functions."
Probably has been there since I first copied the TT instructions in.
Just repeated the copying process carefully, and the warning went away.
Serif: "FindMatchingHVEdge fell into an impossible position"
fixed a bunch of point too close
REMAINING PROBLEM in Serif TT build
"MonotonicFindAlong: Never found our spline."
fixed several bad TT matrices-- there are several more
fixed many "control points too close" no luck
2008-09-03 Stevan_White
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd:
Added/corrected some Misc. Symbols by copying from Serif.
Note this is only a stopgap solution. Want real sans-serif symbols.
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd, FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansBold.sfd, FreeSansBoldOblique.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Added minimal Miscellaneous Symbols: card suites and some musical notes.
Note not happy with shapes...some I just drew. Sans isn't really sans.
Fixed one APL symbol in Mono so it verified in OTF version
2008-08-31 Stevan_White
* FreeMono.sfd:
Built set of APL symbols.
2008-08-30 Stevan_White
* FreeSans.sfd:
Un-linked references in uni02B2 and uni02B5, because when validating the
TrueType version, FontForge gave an error "is drawn in wrong direction".
I suspect a bug in FontForge. Other similar glyphs make no errors.
Fixed missing extrema in TrueType.
These were the last cases being reported by validate in all the faces.
* FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
fixed last missing extrema in TrueType
* Makefile:
restructured validation to look in a directory
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd:
Fixed missing extrema in TrueType versions
* isMonoMono.py, validate.py:
restructured validation to look in a directory
2008-08-15 Stevan_White
* FreeSans.sfd:
Same problem with uni0A83 as with bn_llikaar. Just made zero-width.
2008-08-14 Stevan_White
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd:
Glyph bn_llikaar, U+09E3 BENGALI VOWEL SIGN VOCALIC LL,
has right bound positioned far into the negative. Causes a warning in
FontForge when opening OTF version.
Comparing with other fonts supporting Bengali, found no others that
do this.
Serif makes glyph width 0 (which sounds right according to Unicode)
and puts glyph wholly to left of 0. But, I haven't found this letter
in text anywhere. I wonder if it is really used in writing.
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Further TrueType validation fixes.
Sans still has two glyps in wrong direction.
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Fixed more TrueType problems...all missing extrema in TTF validation
2008-08-13 Stevan_White
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
fixed all the TrueType validation problems of type "intersects itself"
and all but two of the "wrong directions", as well as a lot of
"missing extrema". But there remain hundreds of missing extrema in the
TrueType version.
Also, bn_llikaar in Sans and Oblique still has a problem in OTF version.
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd, FreeSansBold.sfd, FreeSansBoldOblique.sfd:
Made .ttf files to validate. Other faces have many more problems still.
2008-08-12 Stevan_White
* FreeMonoOblique.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Continuing to make OTF versions validate.
* FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
lots of missing points at extrema
* FreeSerif.sfd:
12 wrong directions, 1 missing extrema
* FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
many missing points at extrema, 1 self-intersecting
What was wrong: in several oblique cases, an already-italic glyph was
made more italic, thereby fouling up extrema (although why it passed
validation in the SFD I don't know). Some glyphs were
overly-complicated with many near points. Cleaned up, rounded to int.
Remaining problem: OTF FreeSansOblique FreeSans. one Bengali glyph in
each whose advance width and htmx don't match.
Moral of story: validate the OTF and TTF versions too before a release.
* FreeSansOblique.sfd:
Reverse a mistake from last commit: somehow this file was converted to
quadratic, or something.
* tools/GenerateTrueType:
For TrueType, one puts in Instructions, not Hints.
This vastly improves look of TrueType fonts in Windows.
2008-08-11 Stevan_White
* FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd:
Found that SFD files that validated produced OpenType files that don't.
These represent the easy fixes. Some were result of conversion to
quadratic; some shouldn't have validated in the SFD...
* MonoBoldOblique: uni0250 missing pts at extrema [reference glyph rotated...]
* Sans: uni0AC4 wrong direction [simplified, rounded to int]
* SansOblique: uni01EA wrong direction [rounded to int]
* SerifBold: uni023f wrong direction [round to int]
* SerifBoldItalic: uni0245 missing pts at extrema [ungrouped ref, added extrema]
2008-08-06 Stevan_White
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
Re-set font metrics, which were somehow making uneven vertical spacing.
2008-06-22 Steve White
* FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd:
Made to validate
* ranges.py:
Brought more into line with OpenType
Added some ranges
Fixed bug with ranges outside of font
* CREDITS:
3 new ranges
* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Cyrillic: tweeked accents for consistency, and for readability in small
sizes.
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Thanna range: tweeking
Thaana range: Scaled up by about 15%, raised by 100EM, tightened
some of the diacritics to get inside 900 to -300 EM limits.
* FreeSans.sfd:
Added Old Persian and Ugaritic from MPH2BDamase font.
2008-06-21 Steve White
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Added Tai Le range adapted from MPH2BDamase font.
* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd:
Added some ancient Greek numerals from Tempora to high Unicode area,
(partly just to show it can now be done.)
* FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Couple of tweeks putting glyphs above -300EM.
* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Surgery to Thai letter 'tho than', u+0e10, to push it above -300 EM.
This makes Thai range completely between 900 and -300 EM.
* FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Many auxilary characters (esp. for Malayalam, Bengla, and Tamil)
representing ligatures and alternative forms without their own Unicode,
were moved from
ranges above 0xFFFF (which ought to have been slots for other defined
Unicode ranges) into the Private Use area.
In Serif, I segregated the scripts, in Sans it was hard to see where one
began and another ended, so I moved them en masse.
Note several problems with wrongly-named characters:
I already re-named glyph570 and glyph582.
But there are others with names starting with A...
* FreeSansBold.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd:
Fixed (I hope the last) problem with scripts in lookups
Find Problems -> ATT (all selected) finds multiple issues,
* FreeSansBold.sfd:

re-positioned ypogegrammani on advice of Alexey Kryukov
Put prosgegrammani beneath main letters in Mono, to make narrower glyphs
Implemented more distinction between tonos and acute.

Completed fit of Mono to 800 to -200 EM.
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
Set Metrics to recommended values
* FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
Now Mono Oblique, as well as roman and Bold, are within 800 to -200 EM.
Just BoldOblique to go.
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd:
More toward fitting to 800 to -200 EM.
Basically, reduced Georgian by 92%.
Also made an over-all offset, so Georgian is somehow centered (Bold...I
guess I already did this in roman).
Want to also do an emboldening to make stroke like rest of font, but
current FontForge has a nasty crash that loses data on this function.
* FreeMono.sfd:
In effort to make fit in 800 to -200 EM,
Scaled Georgian by 92%, centered on 600 wide box.
Next: Embolden a bit.

Fiddled globally with spacing of small letters.
Unclear on diacritics 485-6, unhappy with breve.
* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Started implementing TemporaLCGUni in Greek ranges.
Replaced 3DC-3E1 from Tempora, because I thought they looked nicer and
more like the other existing FreeFont glyphs.
Replaced 3DA-B from Tempora, because they look more like Unicode
samples, and nicer.
Added 03f3-4, 03F7-F.
Prefer my own lunate epsilon.
Replaced Phi and Omega from Tempora.
These plainly fit the other FreeFont glyphs better than the origninals.
(How did this happen?)
In bold, replaced U+03D7
Copied lbbar u+2114
Small italic greek--replaced most except phi, psi, omega
Based on new information, broke the identification of oxia with Latin
acute.

Serif: Telugu range missing many characters; many wrong
Got a copy of the original Tikkana font,
Copied in remaining consonants and vowels that I could find there.
I think one vowel 0C55 is missing according to unicode).
Strangely, the Telugu digits are alo missing.
In Tikkana, the default "checkmark" structural mark is missing from many
consonants, according to Unicode, but is a separate glyph. I put
the checkmark on.
This, and scaled up by 150% and cleaned up intersecting glyphs and
many unnecessary points.

Much fiddling with Tamil range.
First scaled to 78% (avoiding the references)
This gets it in the ballpark height-wise. [A bit taller than the Latin
letters, but the stroke is narrower, but then the glyphs are busier.]
Then had to re-align combined references, the trickiest being the
halants.

Bugfix:
Had indroduce a glyph of width other than 600, making kterminal not

More messing with accents.
Further to bug #12798, Greek glyphs with accents to side
Much messing with glyphs in Greek Extended range
2008-04-09 Steve White
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd:
Revisited Latin-1 and Latin-A accents.
Glyph B7 was called "periodcentered", but Unicode callse it Mid Dot,
and the description doesn't refer to the period. I made it like the
dot accent. throughout, and referred L-dot to it.
Also double-checked "commaaccent" characters (some in Unicode called
cedilla, but the Unicode example shows a comma...mystery)
Also the funny IPA upside-down f often had two bars, incorrectly.
To do: go through rest of Serif, and Sans
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
Completed re-structuring of stacked Latin accents in Mono.
Also: lots of associated adjustments of Greek Extended accents.
(Trying to at least center extremely wide characters on their box)
Repaired some victems of "find overlaps" sweeps
Worked on glyphs with apostrope/comma parts
Corrected a few wrong glyphs.
Trying out a "bent quotes" solution to making primes distinct from
quotes.
2008-04-08 Steve White
* FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
Toward reducing overall height
Did similar process as for Mono, fixing a few errors along the way.
Also the Greek Extended range was very messed up vertical and
horizontally.
Horizonal spacing of the heavily accented Greek is a real problem in
Mono...
To do:
revisit "commaaccent" characters in all faces: do some have
edillas?
some Hebrew glyphs are a little low
Georgian generally is way out of bounds
2008-04-07 Steve White
* INSTALL:
Various updates and corrections, tweeked formatting
* FreeMonoBold.sfd:
Tweeking of accents
2008-04-06 Steve White
* FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd:
Re-worked accents in FreeMonoBold.sfd to make Latin ranges lie between
800 and -200 EM, as with FreeMono.
* FreeMono.sfd:
Latin Extended ranges: Implemented new policy of shortening the letters
of the characters with the highest-stacked accents.
At this point all the Latin glyphs lie betweeen 800 and -200 EM.
Also checked for readability of all the Latin extended letters in xterm.
(Issue: it chops letters outside their bounding boxes; many accents had
been a bit outside. Made sure that if they were chopped, they were at
least still recognizable.)
2008-04-05 Steve White
* FreeMono.sfd:
Following exchange about Mono on freefont-bugs with Joe Wells, who
> doesn't like the curly quote marks
> wants combining diacritics to work
> wants tight line spacing
Trying to reduce font height:
> exclamdown was below -200
> Throughout Extended Greek, ypogegrammeni were too low. Shortened
glyph, and raised all references.
> Lots of messing with Latin Extended ranges to make glyphs mostly
fit into 800 height. Mostly succeeded. A couple will get chopped.
> Messed with "commaaccent" glyphs, which were very low
> Cyrillic 04B1 had a tail that was incorrectly low
> Much mucking with Georgian range. Moved up by 95 (read that Georgian
is written as though centered between two horizontal lines, rather than
as sitting on a baseline) There are still a few very high glyphs.
FontForge U+0122 called Gcommaaccent, glyph looks like that, but
Unicode says it's Gcedilla. Made the ones called cedilla by Unicode
to be cedillas
Note bug in Unicode: standard for 0122, 0123, 0136, 0137, 013B, 013C,
0145, 0146, 0156, 0157 all talk about cedilla, say to make it with
cedilla, but example shows comma.
By the way:
> Got rid of commaaccent and dotlessj in Corporate Use
> Replaced shadedark, with little squares now not overlapping.
> Corrected IPA symbol 'ts' 02A6, added 02a8, 02a9, 02aa, 02ab, 02ac,
02ad, 02ae, 02af
(so many changes...the CVS server was down...)
* FreeSerif.sfd:
Re-named arabic and hebrew characters
Big adjustment to comma-accents. Mostly effects Greek Extended.

More cleanup of Cyrillic ranges
Completely re-did horizontal spacing of SerifItalic and SerifBoldItalic.
See bug #17912, poor kerning in Cyrillic oblique...
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?17912
It looked like chaos to me.
Only so much can be done: the font is flawed.
But I think the changes make text readable in these faces.
There were dozens of incorrect glyphs in higher-numbered characters.
I deleted all those I found. No glyph is better than a wrong glyph.
Futzt with accents, shooting for consistency and readability.
A maintenance thing: making correct references (acyrillic vs a,
although they may be the same glyph) I made a lot of headway, but
it isn't finished.
Likewise, a large fraction of these are compound characters, which can
be made with references, resulting in easier maintenance, reduced
likelihood of errors, and smaller files. I replaced many.
* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Cyrillic italic
Added italic, bolditalic

* FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
Overhaul of Cyrillic
Italic, BoldItalic
added small yat for bug #22588 (note Times New Roman doesn't use
alternate form in Italic)
All forms of Serif have big problems in Cyrillic.
The ugliest is in roman. The letters, even of the Russian alphabet, are
of inconsistent height (awfully, small 0438 (ii) 0446 (tse))
and they vary from the height of Latin
and they vary from the height of italic and bold.
They are a mish-mash of letters from several fonts, of similar (but not
quite identical) weight, and similar, (but not quite identical) size.
I think the best solution would be to identify the face that best
matches Latin, and fill the range with that. I think this is possible
because the rarer letters seem to be better: the common letters are the
ones that are wrong.
For now, I just increased the sized of 0438 and 0446, and 048a, 048b,
also 0459 (lje) 045A (nje) 0464 (dje)

'half' Bengali lookup Khanda_Ta is in 'bng2'. Added bng2 to lookup
Added TtTable etc
Clean-up of Points too Close through to end of font.
This episode completes the paths/points clean-up of Serif.
But note: many ranges, esp. Ethiopic, Japanese, and Indic, have way
too many points, resulting in lumpiness.
At this point, FontForge can convert splines to quadratic, auto-hint,
and auto-instrument without segfault.
* Makefile, sfd/Makefile, tools/GenerateTrueType:
Alterations to build process: added a Makefile, and made to work
on my system. Now auto-hints before generating TrueType.

* FreeSerif.sfd:
Split lookup for ligatures in latin into two classes;
ff, ffl, fl which are appropriate for all languages,
and fi, ffi, which are not appropriate in Turkish (due to distinction
between short and long i)
Needs to be done for other faces.
Filled set of extensible brackets in Miscellaneous Technical
Think IPA is now complete.
2008-03-18 Steve White
* FreeSans.sfd:
clean-up of all path issues and points too close
2008-03-18 Steve White
* FreeSans.sfd:
Something was causing crashing effects in Windows. Cleanup of
problems eventually made it go away. Now works well.
Cleaned up many "points too close"
Cleaned up all ATT problems, of which there were many and various.
# Incorrectly labelled zero-width joiner used in a ligature
# Incorrect substitution of dotlessi and dotlessj with i and j was
somehow connected with FontForge crash. Attemts to remove the
substitution would damage a 'ccmp' table; subsequent changes would
result in FontForge crashing on save, and truncating the sfd file.
Surgically removed with vi.
# A couple of Indic lookups had incorrect script DFLT; one had 'latn'.
# Don't understand why there are scripts named
dev2 bng2 grj2 gur2 when there are already deva beng gurj guru
But anyway, lots of 'vatu' 'pres' 'haln' and 'liga' lookups contained
characters in the '2' scripts but were lablled only for the 'non-2'
ones. Added the '2' scripts to all these lookups. Suspect a mistake.
Note: several of these problems are repeated in other Sans faces.
2008-03-16 Steve White
* FreeMono.sfd:

* FreeSans.sfd:
Changed names of a bunch of glyphs with invalid
TrueType names, in range 0x1025f+ (not real Unicode).
Took pains to retain information contained in the names.
Wonder if these glyphs have ever been of any use.
CJK Punctuation: brackets were hand-drawn and very ugly. Improved.
