Viktor,
So you know, the project does not develop our own fonts. We tweak some, like
OpenSymbol to meet our needs, and we are shifting to favor open source choices
where feasible. We bundle some fonts to install with LibreOffice--but that has
been for general use. Not sure there is a lot of need to have a font dedicated
to this SMP block. It might be better if it were delivered as a LibreOffice
Extension.
Back in October I extracting and generating a font set from the Unicode 10.0
"Old Hungarian" (or Szekely-Hungarian Rovas) reference font introduced at
Unicode 8.0/ISO IEC 10646:2014 --and it came out pretty good. Unfortunately I
did not hear back from either Michael Everson or André Szabolcs Szelp with
permission to use their glyph designs drawn from the Unicode SMP pages.
So guess you will need to clean yours up to be--trouble free and well
designed--and continue, maybe László or Khaled would be able to advise.
I get the sense from looking at the history of the block at Unicode that there
is some residual politics over the final Unicode/ISO approval of the block name
and some of the glyphs. But the published Unicode/ISO block is legitimate.
Also, it looks like you probably will need to design some additional glyphs to
provide punctuation with the font [1]:
U+0021 EXCLAMATION MARK
U+002D HYPHEN - MINUS
U+002E FULL STOP
U+003A COLON
U+201F DOUBLE HIGH-REVERSED-9 QUOTATION MARK
U+204F REVERSED SEMICOLON
U+2E2E REVERSED QUESTION MARK
U+2E41 REVERSED COMMA
U+2E42 DOUBLE LOW-REVERSED-9 QUOTATION MARK
Seems like a worthwhile project, good luck with it.
Stuart
