Re Paul's design study: looks good! (I'm assuming that you favor the version used in the sample line, “WEIẞE … STRAẞE”.)
At the risk of pointing out the obvious: an SS-ligature would be inappropriate for a UI font. The official ISO/IEC 10646 proposal points out that “We need the capital ẞ … to retain the distinction between ‘SS’ and ‘ß’ in capital letters” (http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/N3227.pdf, page 4). An SS- ligature would blur this distinction at small text sizes. (You can test this yourself: zoom out of Paul’s document and pretty soon the SS- ligature will look like a pair of individual letters S and S, perhaps poorly kerned.) -- Expansion: 'ẞ' LATIN CAPTIAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
