20 May 2023 Unifont 15.0.02 is now available. Although a minor release increment, there have been significant changes in the organization of font builds. Thus, users are encouraged to try out this version to identify any issues with the updated build process.
NOTE: This is the last Unifont release expected to build TrueType font versions during the default font build. These will be replaced by their OpenType equivalents, which have been built alongside the TrueType versions since the Unifont 14.0.03 release more than one year ago. In the future, it will still be possible to manually build the TrueType versions with the "make truetype" command in the "font" directory (that is implemented today, for anyone who wants to experiment). This version also adds Doxygen comments to all C source code. The base Unifont build (unifont-15.0.02.*) now includes all the Unicode Plane 2 glyphs that are in the Table of Standard Chinese Characters, plus the Plane 3 Chinese biang character. Last but not least, the double width CJK glyphs in the range U+FF00..U+FFEF were modified by request so they did not appear boldface. Many other minor changes were made, noted in the ChangeLog file.
