Missing Old Hungarian numbers. #32

Closed rovasiras closed 1 year ago

rovasiras commented 1 year ago

Missing Old Hungarian numbers: one, five, ten, fifty, hundred and thousend.

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Hungarian_script also lists a Old Hungarian 500, but that doesn’t seem to exist in Unicode.

Is that just an error in the Wikipedia page or is there maybe a ligature for 500?

No, it is not an error or ligature. This is deliberate misrepresentation, overriding the standard. Look at for example the form of "Old Hungarian close e".

If no such thing exists, like an Old Hungarian 500, then I think somebody should fix the Wikipedia page.

The Wikipedia pages

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Hungarian_script

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Hungarian_(Unicode_block)

do not mention the

U+10CCA OLD HUNGARIAN SMALL LETTER CLOSE E U+10C8A OLD HUNGARIAN CAPITAL LETTER CLOSE E

they display the code chart not using pictures but using the characters themselves. So how they display depends on which font is used.

When NotoSansOldHungarian-Regular.ttf (from Google) is used, it looks like:

When OldHungarian.ttf is used it looks like:

Screenshot-OldHungarian ttf

So as far as the close e is concerned, the font OldHungarian.ttf probably needs to be fixed.

Yes, but the developer won't correcting. I've already sent him an email because a member of Unicode asked me to. The developer simply won't do it.

There is an issue in github about the wrong close e: https://github.com/OldHungarian/old-hungarian-font/issues/6

mike-fabian commented 1 year ago

How do you like the way I did the numbers?
