U+25CC for Latin Plus #10

Open thlinard opened 7 years ago

thlinard commented 7 years ago

https://github.com/google/fonts/pull/1355#issuecomment-347308709 reminds me: Microsoft recommend the inclusion of U+25CC.

For the fallback mechanism to work properly, an OTL font should contain a glyph for the dotted circle (U+25CC)

https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otfntdev/glyphs.htm

Could U+25CC be added to GF-latin-plus_unique-glyphs.nam?

Do Latin script fonts make use the the USE engine? I don't see that in MS documentation but that may not be definitive.

thlinard commented 6 years ago

@EbenSorkin Hum… You're right, Microsoft only speak of this in complex script scenarii (but I believe the distinction between simple and complex scripts isn't probably very relevant for many OpenType engines).

I guess not, but it perhaps should be added to the complex script ones (if it is not already)

However, this is complicated by unicode-range...
