All extended fonts have been -carefully tested to cover a repertoire that includes all characters -found in ISO 6937, ISO 8859-1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,13,14,15,16, and -CP1251/1252. The non-bold/italic fonts also cover the Adobe/Microsoft -WGL4 repertoire, which includes the characters of all MS-DOS code -pages. Some fonts (6x13, 9x15, 9x18, 10x20) cover considerably more, -including the full European Unicode subset CEN MES-3B, which covers -all Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Georgian, Thai, phonetic, and -mathematical characters. - -Eight new ISO 10646-1 fonts were added, for which there was no -equivalent version in the X11R6.4 distribution before, and which -should be highly useful: - - 6x13O.bdf -Misc-Fixed-Medium-O-Semicondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1 - 7x13O.bdf -Misc-Fixed-Medium-O-Normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-ISO10646-1 - 8x13O.bdf -Misc-Fixed-Medium-O-Normal--13-120-75-75-C-80-ISO10646-1 - 9x18.bdf -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1 - 9x18B.bdf -Misc-Fixed-Bold-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1 - 12x13ja.bdf -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-ja-13-120-75-75-C-120-ISO10646-1 - 18x18ja.bdf -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-ja-18-120-100-100-C-180-ISO10646-1 - 18x18ko.bdf -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-ko-18-120-100-100-C-180-ISO10646-1 - -6x13O and 8x13O are oblique/italic fonts. 9x18 is an improved variant -of 9x15 designed to have enough space to allow the unproblematic use -of overstriking combining characters, 18x18ja and 18x18ko provide -Japanese and Korean doublewidth ideographic characters for 9x18, and -12x13ja provides Japanese and Hangul doublewidth ideographic -characters for 6x13. - -This update contains not only new ISO10646-1 fonts, but also a -collection of 8-bit fonts that were automatically generated from the -ISO10646-1 fonts. All these derived 8-bit fonts have the --REGISTRY-ENCODING part of the XLFD in the filename (e.g., -6x13-ISO8859-1.bdf). Some of these derived fonts replace old 8-bit -fonts (with some stylistic improvements and bug fixes), others provide -new urgently needed 8-bit encoding alternatives for very widely-used -font sizes. - -The ISO10646-1 fonts in this package (except for 12x13ja, 18x18ja, and -18x18ko) contain no characters above 0x31FF. This avoids the very -inefficient allocation and transmission of a >700 kB large XFontStruct -structure, which would happen if the (not very important) ligatures -and symbols above 0xf000 were present. - -Installation instructions: - - - Only the directory xc/fonts/bdf/misc/ (if you patch the X source - distribution) or /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ (if you patch a system - installation) will be affected by this update. - - - Do in xc/fonts/bdf/misc/ or /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ a - - rm 7x13euro.bdf 7x13euroB.bdf heb6x13.bdf heb8x13.bdf 7x14rk.bdf - - because these old 8-bit files are now superseeded by the new - *-ISO8859-15.bdf, *-ISO8859-8.bdf, and *-JISX0201.1976-0 files. - - - If you patch the X source tree, move from this tarball the files - - *.bdf fonts.alias Imakefile - - into xc/fonts/bdf/misc/. - - - If you patch an installed system, move instead from this package - the files - - *.pcf.gz fonts.alias - - into /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ and then call "mkfontdir" there - and also execute "xset fp rehash". - -The new *-*.bdf files will not be necessary any more as soon as the -font reencoding engine in the BDF backend is operational, because then -these encodings can be generated by the X server automatically and -on-the-fly from the ISO 10646-1 files (perhaps in XFree86 4.1?). - -The font files in this package were all automatically generated by a -few Perl scripts. Please do not edit these font files if you want to -make contributions. Instead, if you want to edit the fonts, please get -the latest original BDF files in - - http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz - -which also contains the ucs2any.pl and bdftruncate.pl scripts and the -encoding mapping files that were used to generate all the font files -found in this tarball. See also the README file in there for further -hints on how to use these fonts. - -This package is available from - - http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fixed.tar.gz - -Please send any feedback and patches related to these fonts to - - Markus.Kuhn@cl.cam.ac.uk - -or to - - fonts@xfree86.org - -Markus - --- -Markus G.
