U+214E TURNED SMALL F has no serifs #176

The letter U+214E TURNED SMALL F is sans-serif. Cf. its capital form, U+2132 TURNED CAPITAL F, which has serifs.

Hmm. I’m not sure why that is the case, but it presumably was a deliberate decision somewhere along the line. Will check with the STI Pub guys to see whether there was a preference.

Treating ‘Letterlike Symbols’ as letters and giving them casing pairs always struck me as a bad encoding.

Flagging this as tentative v2.20 item, but requesting feedback from STI Pub.

Have not received feedback from STI Pub, but decided to go ahead and make this serifed since that is how it appears in the Unicode reference charts. Updated in both Math and Text fonts.

Updated sources and fonts delivered to STI Pub for testing. Issue reopened pending public release.
