Bug#684496: Time to upgrade this bunch of fonts

Package: ttf-ancient-fonts
Version: 2.57-1
Followup-For: Bug #684496

Update, or, a further incentive to package the updated fonts.

The packaged version of Symbola use “reserved” glyphs at to-be-encoded-in-
the-future code points. As one instance of the future is here now, this has the
unwanted side effect that the “reserved” glyph is shown instead of the
correct ones for fonts with lower priority than Symbola (e.g. the bitmap
Unifont fonts).

At least some of the affected code blocks in Symbola 6.05:

  * Cyrillic Supplement
  * Currency Symbols
  * Dingbats
  * Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows
  * Supplemental Punctuation
  * Playing Cards
  * Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs

Kind regards,
Kess

Greetings Gürkan and CC:ed font devs!

With Unicode 7.0 properly released it’s high time to update this package (and
its package name), please consider doing so.

A new font has been added:

  * Asea (at a glance, covers a great deal of ancient Greek typography)

Several fonts have had their version numbers updated, current versions as of
today:

  * Aegean 6.00 → 7.42
  * Aegyptus 3.13 → 5.03
  * Akkadian 2.56 → 7.15
  * Anatolian 3.06 → 5.02
  * Symbola 6.05 → 7.17

Other fonts have both updated version numbers and have been archived:

  * Analecta 3.06 → 4.02
  * Maya 1.06 → 4.14
  * Musica 3.06 → 3.12
  * Unidings 6.05 → 7.17

I have not checked why they are archived.

Yet other fonts have been archived, I have not checked if they are changed:

  * Alexander
  * Alfios
  * Anaktoria
  * Aroania
  * Atavyros
  * Avdira

Kind regards,
Kess

p. s. There are other fonts on the page that I have not checked, such as
Cretan.zip.

Bug#684496: Time to upgrade this bunch of fonts

2012-08-10 Thread Juhapekka Tolvanen

Package: ttf-ancient-fonts
Version: 2.57-1
Severity: normal

At last Symbola has got a new version: Its filename is Symbola605.ttf
and it probably means its version number is 6.05. When I download that
font from its homepage, it is of version 7.02.
