unicode fonts #112

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
.font files are simple text files that map unicode
character range to a particular subfont bitmap.

when converting fonts from .ttf files, they usualy
dont cover the whole unicode range, so we usualy try
to fill the voids by manually adding subfont entries
in the unicode.font file that match the font proportions.

this manual labor should be automated by some awk...

right now, the unicode.12.font from dejavusans for example
uses fixed/10x20 subfonts wich are way too big.

i'm not going to fix this manually. someone write a program
that does this! (could be done in awk)
