2023-10-21 15.1.03
* Hú YuÇn XÄ«ng æ¹ è¿æ contributed 14 glyph updates to CJK Unified
Ideographs Extension B and Extension C: U+2A6D7..U+2A6DF and
U+2B735..U+2B739.
* Boris Zhang and Yzy32767 contributed CJK Unified Ideographs
Extension I glyphs (U+2EBF0..U+2EE5D).
NOTE
Releases from 15.1 do not include Truetype format, only Opentype format
Unifont fonts, as previously announced.
As these fonts are bitmap glyphs rendered into modern font formats,
both formats should render the same glyphs.
All modern systems support both Opentype and Truetype format fonts,
so there should be few or no issues if releases provide only Opentype
format Unifont, which are less than half the file size of the Truetype
format.
A known issue with TrueType is Pango combining character rendering not
being fixed as the Pango maintainers want to support only OpenType.
If anyone encounters issues using the Opentype format Unifont,
please let us know so we can address any issues.
