d2a749c465 Add NEWS to distfiles. 2018-04-25 22:21:54 +01:00

ae3be652a3 Bump version number to 002.000. 
I can't think of anything else I need to do for it.

581549340d Add a NEWS file. 
Now that we have incompatible changes, I want somewhere to document them.

e53f8b7c51 Remove mention of stroked fonts from Web page. 
I'm not quite confident enough in them yet.

7a136ee50a Update media type for OpenType fonts. 
application/font-sfnt has been deprecated in favour of, among others, 
font/otf.

b3b9184bed Extract @font-face rules into their own CSS file. 
This seems sensible, since the @font-face rules should be grneric to all 
uses of Bedstead in CSS.

0f9d379316 Make any rule that uses Ghostscript depend on the Fontmap. 2018-04-09 22:27:24 +01:00
Ben Harris
6932fab2b4 Correctly remove bedstead-complement.ps when making clean. 
I forgot to update the rule for the new filename.

8ff0c0634b Remove everything relating to PFA and AFM files. 
Nothing in the build system uses them now, and I'd already stopped
distributing them.

4cd84ee82c Don't include SFD files in distribution. 
They're not really finished products.  Also I don't think I should
encourage people to load random SFDs since FontForge will apparently
happily execute Python code it finds in them.

438e6cc037 Mention glyph complement on Web page. 2018-04-09 22:01:43 +01:00

f8acc16830 Rename glyph complement PDF and add it to the distribution. 
"bedstead" now appears in the name.

829128680a Slight change to U+241B SYMBOL FOR ESCAPE. 
The "C" is now more obviously a "C" and not a "(".

480682f5f8 Rationalise widths of Bedstead variants. 
They are all now sensible fractions of the standard width.

Extra Condensed has changed from 62/100 to 5/8.
Condensed has changed from 76/100 to 3/4.
Semi Condensed has changed from 88/100 to 7/8.
Extended has changed from 124/100 to 5/4.

This makes rather a lot of dimensions non-integer, but the only
significant ones are the "palt" width adjustments, and I think that's
an acceptable tradeoff for making the standard widths more sensible.

7473a75d39 Turn XPIX into a double. 2018-04-06 23:26:33 +01:00
Ben Harris
d655ebfcb1 Convert a bunch of printfs to %g. 
Along with casting arguments to (double), obviously.

b86aa20400 When printfing dimensions, cast them to the right type first. 
That way, if floating-point numbers turn up, they won't get
interpreted as ints and cause a horrid mess.

665a6dc28b Mention stroked fonts on Web page (with a sample). 2018-04-04 22:17:06 +01:00
Ben Harris
8c6f94dd3c Move .notdef to the end of the list with the other unencoded glyphs. 2018-04-04 22:16:01 +01:00
Ben Harris
1006cc012b Consistently put a blank line before each Unicode block heading. 2018-04-04 22:15:27 +01:00

df180db76b Move Shavian alphabet to its proper position in code-point order. 2018-04-04 22:14:52 +01:00
Ben Harris
463eeb6462 Add Marnanel Thurman to list of authors and update dates. 2018-04-04 22:14:31 +01:00
Marnanel Thurman
5d4e9baeec Add the Shavian alphabet to Bedstead. 2018-04-04 22:10:47 +01:00
Ben Harris
6a4238d2d2 A few more forms of transport. 
Inspired by seeing U+1F69A DELIVERY TRUCK in the subject line of an
email, here's a glyph for that and also U+1F680 ROCKET and U+1F682
STEAM LOCOMOTIVE.

0a3baad29e Another Unicode sorting fix. 2018-04-02 22:12:18 +01:00

af9e436840 Minor fix to Unicode sorting. 2018-04-02 13:17:23 +01:00

543f43a2f3 Move stroke on dotless j with stroke glyphs down by one pixel. 
This makes them match the lower-case "f" of which these characters
were originally turned versions, and also makes U+0284 LATIN SMALL
LETTER DOTLESS J WITH STROKE AND HOOK more visually distinct from
U+0192 LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK.

d73c402598 Add stroked fonts to GhostScript FontMap. 2018-03-13 18:50:52 +00:00

fcbb3c8d90 Minimally-functional code for expanding dots. 
It takes a little bit of effort to avoid segfaulting FontForge, and so
currently Bedstead Plotter Thin has dots in the middle of its dots.
These probably shouldn't stay.

12127d0a04 strokefont.py: Set SFNT "Preferred Family" 
At present, this is just the same as the family name.

dd3c9d4845 Skeleton code for adjusting dots in plotter fonts. 
In light fonts, they end up almost invisible, but I have a plan.

c19d2ab747 Start a collection of links to articles about character design. 
Happily, type designers seem to love talking about their languages'
unique letters.

04bc584c97 Slight tweak to "AE": move crossbar of "A" part down 1 pixel. 
That puts it in the same place as in the "A" proper, and aligns with
the advice here:

https://medium.com/@frodefrodefrode/designing-the-letter-%C3%A6-862cffbe22b

"The crossbars are not usually aligned in typographic typefaces ..."

6120176259 Complete the set of circled and squared plus, minus, and dot. 2017-11-26 23:33:06 +00:00

a287174507 Add a couple of upside-down characters. 2017-11-26 23:26:58 +00:00

43c895f9ac When stroking a font, adjust the BlueValues accordingly. 2017-11-26 22:53:00 +00:00
Ben Harris
049d92d5f2 Add prime and double-prime glyphs. 
Not the prettiest, but they're visually distinct from apostrophes and
accents.
 2017-11-26 16:20:14 +00:00

be454b1d55 Add gratuitous cube root and fourth root symbols. 2017-11-26 14:42:34 +00:00
Ben Harris
ee8a8325ad Add assorted mathematical vertical lines. 2017-11-26 13:54:45 +00:00

ffc5a9de9c Add mathematical ellipsis characters. 2017-11-26 13:42:13 +00:00
Ben Harris
64dd2d9a28 Two-level brace and summation characters. 
The braces are a compromise, since each glyph has to be usable as both
the top and bottom half of a brace.
 2017-11-26 12:20:11 +00:00

fe017bcbc3 Be consistent in capitalisation of block heading comments. 
I use sentence case for these where the Unicode standard uses title
case.
 2017-11-26 12:02:59 +00:00
Ben Harris
f1bac5326e Add the various long bracket components. 
All are derived simply by lengthening the vertical parts of the
standard glyphs.

efa7c75586 Correct the name of ordfeminine in df.ps as well. 2017-11-26 10:30:55 +00:00
