Hungarian umlaut improvements #21

Closed Fuzzypeg closed 2 years ago

Fuzzypeg commented 2 years ago

The two strokes of the Hungarian umlaut should appear level with each other. "I am not able to use it in Hungarian, as the top of the umlaut on the “ő/Ő” and “ű/Ű” characters is not at the same height. See https://tinyurl.com/y2jtoel8 The requested font face is shown here: https://tinyurl.com/y2kszsab

Would it be possible to make such a change in the font?"

I've tried to improve this. The two strokes of the hungarian umlaut are still not exactly identical, but they are now largely level. I hope this gives the desired appearance without making them look mechanical.

Feel free to reopen or raise a new issue if these designs are still not correct.

I notice poor kerning between k and . in the italic. Italic is still very much a work in progress, and I will be working to improve both glyph designs and spacing/kerning.
