Hi! Thanks for the comments. You'll need to explain in more detail what you mean. Which characters (Unicode code points) are these? What's your editing environment, etc. What is a "specialized unicode font"?

dantezhu commented 2 years ago

@cormullion Sorry, my English is not very good. What I mean is that for multi-byte characters, there are special localized fonts for display in general systems. For example, Mac has the font "Pingfang-Jian" for Simplified Chinese. , its display effect is more in line with localization requirements. My suggestion is not to cover these multi-byte characters in the font, and it is better to leave it to a special localized font to display.

btw, the juliamono font is very good

No problem!

By the way, if you want to remove glyphs from a font, it's quite easy - use pyftsubset from fonttools.

Thanks! I will try it.
