- (The design points below are mostly the result of design reviews by Alexei
Vanyashin, Jacques Le Bailly and Stephen Nixon, in no particular order).
- Respacing of uppercase letters in the regular master and complete thin and
extra bold masters. Uppercase letters space better next to lowercase letters
now. Cyrillics are more consistently spaced.
- Tweak numerals some. Especially the "one" and fractions.
- Various tweaks to various shapes across the board, especially symbols. Braces
are curlier now. Detail tweaks to Cyrillics.
- Basic mathy symbols and currency symbols now have tabular number width. I found
no advantage to having proportional variants.
- Removed .tosf numerals. Fiddly work without clear purpose.
- Experimental alternative form of "l" without the tail, contributed by Jacques
Le Bailly. Accessible via the ss01 feature.
- Added variable font, CFF2 flavor. postscriptBlueFuzz is set to 1 explicitly
to avoid rounding issues with blue zone coverage in FreeType.
- Removed f-ligatures without their own Unicode code points, as the design doesn't
currently need them. They were mainly added to fill up the Google glyph set.
- The following glyphs now represent more than one Unicode code point to keep the
glyph view tidier. In PDFs where the generator removed the text stream, copy-paste may lead to the
others turning into the first. Meh.
- emdash: U+2014, U+2015
- emspace: U+2001, U+2003
- enspace: U+2000, U+2002
- hyphen: U+002D, U+00AD, U+2010, U+2011
- space: U+0020, U+00A0
- emdash: U+2014, U+2015
- Filled in hryvnia (U+20B4), tugrik (U+20AE) and tenge (U+20B8).
- Static fonts use same rounding method as varLib uses for the variable font.
- Fixed Ustraight-cy (U+04AE), ustraight-cy (U+04AF), Ustraightstroke-cy
(U+04B0), ustraightstroke-cy (U+04B1), they didn't have a proper production
name before and may not have been properly accessible.
- Removed some building components that made it into the final font.
- Limited anchor propagation to letters, excluding ligatures. Generate GDEF
table properly.
- Set one simple
gasp
table for hinted display for e.g. Windows.
- Removed
ccmp
from theaalt
lookup.
- The OS/2 table fsType now says that no Digital Rights Management is applied
to the fonts, the name table now says the fonts are OFL 1.1 licensed.
- Internal housekeeping: Sources are stored in the open UFO and Designspace format
now, with various cleanups like removed unused layers.
- Internal housekeeping: Removed composite diacritics that served no design purpose.
