Character addition request. #419

Closed bedriczwaleta closed 3 years ago

bedriczwaleta commented 3 years ago

This font does not contain Arabic (namely Pashto). The bitcoin sign is missing, ḂḃḊḋḞḟṀṁṖṗṠṡṪṫ is missing as well. No more to explain, I'm bored.

Sorry you're bored.

We already have a bug related to Arabic.

The bitcoin glyph is one I will consider adding, as are the dot above glyphs, but you can work around those for now by using the dotabove combining mark (̇, uni0307).

But 84 is not as long, and too unexplained, in its early development.

Also U+0659 is required in the future... I do think. 84 is just nothing.

aaronbell commented 3 years ago

Sorry, your comment makes no sense.

bedriczwaleta commented 3 years ago

What does that means? I plan Bitcoin, Pashto, Hebrew but not Yiddish, Thai, to make Cascadia multilingual. You think that's misinformation.

aaronbell commented 3 years ago

Thanks for helping @yg8ijvjvjv, though based on researching those specific glyphs, the request is likely more in relation to Hebrew romanization than alignment with ISO standards.

Given the above, let me rephrase the feature request:

I would like to use Cascadia Code for Arabic (Pashto) and Hebrew applications but noticed that the font doesn’t support Arabic. Could that be added? It would also be useful to add ḂḃḊḋḞḟṀṁṖṗṠṡṪṫ, as those glyphs are used for Hebrew romanization. And the Bitcoin symbol too, please. Thank you!

As I stated previously, issue #84 covers the addition of Arabic, and I will consider the other requests. Thanks for submitting an issue.

In the ISO 259 Romanization of Hebrew, the overdot is used to transcribe the dagesh: ⟨ḃ ḋ ġ ḣ ṁ ṅ ṙ ṡ ṥ ṧ ṩ ṫ⟩; ⟨ẇ⟩ transcribes the shuruk.

🤷‍♂️

bedriczwaleta commented 3 years ago

No. That is old Irish.

aaronbell commented 3 years ago

If you would like to file a bug to support ISO subset1 and 2 please do so. Thanks.

bedriczwaleta commented 3 years ago

No. Just no. This is Pashto

I have created three new issues to better track the separate character addition requests by @bedriczwaleta. As such, am closing this thread. Thanks.

If you want to know, Subset1 was made by @yg8ijvjvjv for his monospaced fonts as a requirement
