Debian Changelog unifont (1:5.1.20080914-1)

2008

unifont (1:5.1.20080914-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Changed unifont.ttf location in defoma-hints file. (Closes: #498874)
   * Modified src/hex2sfd to superimpose combining diacritical marks on
     top of preceding glyphs in TrueType font as per the Unicode Standard.
     (Closes: #497326)
   * Modified "cp -a" ==> "cp -p" and eliminated "install -t" in Makefiles
     for BSD Unix compatibility.
   * Renamed "combining.txt" to "combining.dat" because it is a data file.
   * Generated new font/precompiled/unifont.ttf font from the above changes.

unifont (1:5.1.20080820-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Replaced Hangul Syllables block with glyphs in unifont.bdf file
     in Debian bf-utf-source package, originally from the Debian
     xfonts-baekmuk package (Closes: #495729)
     - Avoids license ambiguity of unifont's original Hanterm fonts
     - Brings two diverging Debian copies of the unifont font closer together
   * Deleted references to and all derivative copies of any Hanterm fonts
   * Changed unifont package description in debian/control to mention
     that the package now installs /usr/share/unifont/unifont.hex and
     other files and is no longer just a metapackage (Closes: #494662)

unifont (1:5.1.20080808-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Install unifont.hex [and other files while I was at it] in
     /usr/share/unifont for GRUB (Closes: #494473)
     - unifont.hex provides glyphs with no combining circles, etc. and
       is the same file as font/compiled/unifont-5.1.20080808.hex
     - unifontfull.hex provides glyphs with combining circles, etc. and
       is the same file as font/compiled/unifontfull-5.1.20080808.hex.
       If editing hex glyphs, this file is the master version to edit;
       unifont.hex is generated from this full version -- see uniunmask(1)
       for details.
     - combining.txt lists all Unicode 5.1 code points that are combining
       glyphs, and hence should have zero-width.
     - README gives a brief description of the above three files
   * Corrected typos in the previous changelog entry.

unifont (1:5.1.20080808-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added needed Replaces, Conflicts lines in debian/control (Closes: #493711)
   * Added "Build-Depends-Indep: defoma" line in debian/control for access
     to dh_installdefoma to install TrueType font (Closes: #494245)
   * Changed ttf-unifont.defoma-hints file entry for "GeneralFamily"
     from "SansSerif" to "Typewriter" as a better match
   * Changed dh_lintian lines in debian/rules to use "( ... ) || /bin/true"
     so debuild would succeed on a generic Etch DVD installation that
     doesn't include dh_lintian in the debhelper package
   * Added updates from Ubuntu unifont package:
     - hex2bdf now uses additional BDF header lines for better font
       description
     - hex2bdf-split (originally Dave Starner's adaptation of Roman
       Czyborra's hex2bdf) renamed from hex2bdf.  Use is discouraged
       but it's still here for now for completeness; wrote man page
       & changed name of output font from "-gnu-fixed-*" to "-gnu-unifont-*"
     - Added Georgian glyphs contributed to Ubuntu's unifont package by
       Gia Shervashidze and Vladimer Sichinava
   * Merged man page & Makefile changes done by Anthony Fok from Debian
     diff file into .orig.tar.gz
   * Made minor changes to existing programs in ./src
     - unibmp2hex.c: forced double-wide glyphs where appropriate in
       U+FFxx range
     - uniunmask.c: increased buffer size & hard-coded "wide" variable
       to avoid accidentally invoking a half-implemented extended
       character widths
     - unihex2bmp.c: same changes as in uniunmask.c
   * Added to existing documentation
     - Updated "./README" to reflect changes to Makefiles and add
       more information
     - Added "./font/hexsrc/README" to describe how to use all files
       in that directory to create a font
     - Added full font embedding exception to GPL from Wen Quan Yi
   * Added improved glyphs for the U+FF00..U+FFFF block
   * Removed "./font/hexsrc/blanks-5.1.hex"; it was identical to
     "blanks.hex" in the same directory and the Makefiles never used it.
