@apitta0188, could you advise on which of these symbols belong to which character group of the ones we had created? Or perhaps we need to create a few new character groups for these.
@tim-band is joining the project on our side and @peterbispham will be handing over the web development side of the project to him during March. He'll join us at our next meeting on Tuesday so you can meet him, but in the meanwhile he's trying to get more familiar with the codebase by working on some of the issues like this one.
@tim-band also mentioned there are a few characters in the range above he thinks we shouldn't include: 007F control, 00A2 cent, 00A3 pound, 00A5 Yen, 1D2B Cyrillic letter small capital al, and maybe all the Greek and Latin small capitals. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
@tim-band to add new symbols to the data fixture so they are always loaded on deployment then edit the file
compose/production/django/symbols.json
same for local and development.
@raquel-ucl we will need to take loading of this fixture away at the point where History are adding their own symbols otherwise their new symbols will be overwritten by the data fixture.
To remove the loading of the symbols on deployment we remove the line:
python manage.py loaddata compose/local/django/symbols.json
from
compose/production/django/start
(for production)
Here is a complete list of the requested characters, together with their official Unicode descriptions. I think we could do with culling a few of these: I suggest that we don't need 007F (it's a control character and Alphabetum doesn't have a glyph there), 00A2, 00A3, 00A5 (cent, pound, yen), 1B2D (Cyrillic small capital el) and the other small capitals, and potentially a load of other stuff.
Also, which ones are in which groups? Perhaps we need another "extended latin" group?

Hi @apitta0188, I'll be looking after Frrant (part time) after Peter leaves and before a new developer is appointed. I have been looking at issue #70; adding new symbols to the symbol picker. In my previous comment (https://github.com/UCL/frrant/issues/70#issuecomment-786002842) I list all the requested symbols; I have asked a couple of questions; firstly I think there are a few characters we don't want in this list. Secondly I think we probably need a separate "Extended Latin" group for these. What do you think? Thanks, -Tim
Dear Tim,
I agree with you that a few character are not needed: I am going to arrange a revised list of characters, where new labels for possible groups are suggested. I will send it to you as soon as it's ready. Thank you for your work, and very best. AP

@acholyn @apitta0188 This looks like an issue with adding Alphabetum characters to the symbol picker, so should be relatively straight forward. Perhaps it would be best to have a document explaining how to do this so that we can add them as needed, rather than try to anticipate future need.
@rmamarshall does this wiki entry help?
If I'm understanding correctly, the characters exist in the font and have codes, they just need to be added to the picker, whereas #24 is an earlier stage and those need to be added to the actual font?
closing in favour of #448 as this issue now concerns adding specific characters to the font
Antonino will send more info, but we need to add these IPA symbols:
We should show them how to add them themselves on the admin screen so they see it's possible. Not sure they have included this in the test cases.
For reference, here are the Alphabetum font's docs:
