Subject: [9fans] fixes to unicode fonts (not in the plan9 distribution)
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 17:23:31 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0307221616420.11184-100000@fbsd.cpsc.ucalgary.ca> (raw)
If you're using any of the 10646 fonts converted to plan9 recently you may
have observed that some of the characters are missing (most notably -- tilde
(~) isn't there).
this was traced to a bug in bdf2subf which caused the last glyph of any
subfont not to be displayed. corresponding man page snippet from cachechars(2):
The info array has n+1 elements, one each for characters 0 to n-1 plus
an additional entry so the size of the last character can be calculated.
Thus the width, w, of the Image associated with a Subfont s is
s->info[s->n].x.
bdf2subf wasn't creating the n-th array index.
the new, updated packages are on the web at the same place:
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/p9/fonts/
including even the 18x18ko korean glyphs we couldn't encode the last time.
I've tested all fonts to the best of my knowledge using 'unicode
0x0-0xffff'.

ps: the fonts that look the best are:
10x20 6x13 7x13 8x13 9x15 9x18
pps: i've started the efonts conversion, but that'll take a few hours. then
testing is a few more, so wait until tomorrow to download ~70mb of fonts :)
