Package: unifont
Version: 1:5.1.20080914-1.3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I found this under What's Next at <http://unifoundry.com/unifont.html>:
* Make some changes for errors and usage preferences requested since
the Unicode 5.1 release. Notably the line drawing set will be
half-width instead of full-width (I'll make the current full-width
set available as a separate file in case anyone wants it for CJK).
This seems to refer to the characters U+2580 through U+259F, which *do*
look rather wider than the ones I remember from DOS. And it looks
*really* bad in "xterm -fa 'unifont' -fs 15"; just try this in Python:
>>> print ''.join(map(unichr,range(0x2580, 0x25A0)))
It would probably be a good idea to check *all* the widths against the
East_Asian_Width property from <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/>.
(Presumably, the only reason it's called "east asian" is because only
East Asian character sets (and I really mean character sets here!) and
fonts actually have such a concept at this point?)
Unfortunately, the Neutral (N) and East Asian Ambiguous (A) values for
this property don't actually tell us how wide a character should be.
Neutral (N) says *nothing* about the appropriate width; for now, it's
probably best to follow Markus Kuhn's free wcwidth() implementation
<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c> and treat everything with
this value as narrow; it's kind of important to have the same idea of
character width as xterm, ncurses, etc. ...
East Asian Ambiguous (A) characters "occur in East Asian legacy
character sets as wide characters, but as narrow (i.e., normal-width)
characters in non-East Asian usage". In other words, Unicode should
probably have made compatability characters for these to preserve width
when transcoding ... and according to TR11, still *could*, but probably
won't.
These characters (including the block mentioned at the top of this
report) should indeed be Narrow in the default font; a wide variant is
likely unnecessary, though: don't existing CJK fonts already cover the
legacy encodings used with the sort of program that would need this
quite well already, and with higher quality glyphs, too? (Why would
anyone use a "CJK legacy" variant of unifont in preference to a native
CJK font, when the program in question is probably using a legacy coding
*anyway*?)

Closes: 698191 698194 727309
Changes:
unifont (1:6.3.20131215-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Switched to upstream version 6.3.20131215.
(Closes: #698191, #698194, #727309)
(LP: #1231173)
* debian/compat: now set to "9".
* debian/control:
- unifont source package now Build-Depends on debhelper (>= 9.0).
- Standards-Version updated to 3.9.5.
- Removed redundant "Section: fonts" entries.
- Added Suggests to unifont-bin for texinfo package, to run makeinfo
and texi2pdf if someone wants to change the source documents.
- Updated Description fields to reflect the installation of the
special-purpose font "Unifont Sample" alongside the standard font
"Unifont".
* debian/copyright - updated to reflect new licensing arrangements.
* debian/README.Debian - removed an extraneous "the".
* debian/rules: Now builds with "dh" instead of the old debhelper scripts.
* debian/unifont-bin.doc-base: old "unifont-intro.txt" is now "unifont.txt".
* debian/unifont-bin.docs: added new document files for binary package.
* debian/unifont-bin.info: added to support new Texinfo documentation.
* debian/unifont-bin.lintian-overrides: override a probable false positive
complaint about hardening. All binaries are built with the very same
flags, and lintian only complains about hardening in one of those programs.
* src/unihex2png: new program to convert unifont.hex to PNG image.
* src/unipng2hex: new program to convert PNG image to unifont.hex.
* src/hex2bdf:
- Added new XLFD properties for font generation for FreeType and
grub-mkfont support; includes version & copyright info.
- Fields now begin with upper-case, including "unifont"-->"Unifont".
- Changed POINT_SIZE property from 160 to 120.
- Added "Sans" style name to FONT string plus XLFD property.
- Added command line options for font name, version, & glyph height.
- Allow generation of fonts with other than 16 pixel rows/glyph, to
support new capabilities of unihex2png, unipng2hex, and hexdraw.
* src/unidup.c: now takes an optional file name on the command line.
* src/*.c: reformatted to follow GNU Coding Standards.
* man/*: Updated man pages to reflect new options, new programs,
and to reflect the GPLv2+ license now common to all programs.
* doc/: new directory with Texinfo files.
* ChangeLog: created new file.
* COPYING: created new file.
* INSTALL: file created using BUILDING section from old README file.
* LICENSE: removed; its contents are in README and COPYING now.
* NEWS: created new file.
* Makefiles: added "SHELL = /bin/sh" if not already declared.
* Makefiles (distclean): added removal of "*~" if not already declared.
* Makefile: compress text files with "gzip -f -9" during installation.
* font/Makefile: fontforge scripting updated; now adds font copyright,
license, version and other info to PCF files.
* font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex:
- Redrew several Armenian letters (U+0530..U+058F).
- Redrew Capricorn symbol (U+2651).
- Redrew CJK Radical Supplement glyphs: U+2E9F, U+2EA9, U+2EAC,
U+2EAE, U+2EC0, U+2EDE, U+2EE7, and U+2EED.
* font/ttfsrc/Makefile: fontforge scripting command changed from
"Simplify(-1,1)" to "Simplify(64,1)" to "merge lines which are
nearly parallel into one". This decreases the TrueType file size
by almost 2 Megabytes, by reducing the number of control points
for a glyph. Also add font copyright, license, version, and
other info to TTF files.
* font/ttfsrc/Makefile: now builds SBIT font unifont_sample.ttf.
* unifontall-*: renamed to "unifont_sample-*".
* *.bdf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with hex2bdf.
* *.pcf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
* *.ttf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
* font/*/unifont-*.bmp: Create chart of entire Unifont using pre-built
unifont_sample.hex rather than assembling *.hex just for this image.
* hangul/hangul-generation.html: updated to correct a typo, where
rieul was mentioned as an initial consonant instead of a final
consonant in an explanation of vertical spacing constraints.
* hangul/Makefile:
- Updated hex2bdf parameters to name generated BDF font
"Unifont Johab" rather than "unifont" and add copyright.
- Used a sed script to change BDF encoding from ISO10646 to "Johab".
- Call bdftopcf to create hangul-base.pcf, then compress with gzip.
- Add "precompiled:" target to create basic Johab font files.
