  • (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
  • 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 the aalt 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.
