dfb86e3fc5 Move sample image down by one (output) pixel 
Having a 3px margin at the top and a 5px margin at the bottom was silly.

0e5c32bfb4 Parameterize sample.ps by the font size 
I want to change the font size and I don't want to change a lot of
numbers.

2ba6e6fbdd Add Cyrillic ie grave and dze (U+0400, U+0405, U+0450, U+0455) 
They're identical to Latin "e" grave and "s".

1f9ea007dd Add the Greek letter yot (U+037F, U+03F3) 
As far as I can see it's visually identical to the Latin 'j'.

d8a0fe6469 Add glyphs for a bunch of letters with dots below. 
I discovered that Ubuntu has keyboard sequences for these, and they're 
easy to draw.

15126cfddd Don't auto-hint mosaic graphics characters.

6e1e1462dd Web site colours: swap :link and :visited. 
It's conventional for :visited to be the darker shade.

0b66884f7f Reduce horizontal scrolling in Web page. 
Playing with Firefox's "Responsive Design Mode" made it clear to me
that Bedstead's Web page was not very mobile-friendly, especially in
the way that the title runs off the end of a reasonable-sized vertical
screen.  A simple CSS rule requests downscaling of images to the width
of the screen, which helps a lot.

75bd5aa376 Switch Bedstead Web page to dark-on-light. 
I recently saw Bedstead featured on a collection of programming fonts
and noticed that it was much prettier there than on its own Web page.
That's clearly wrong, and I think displaying it in a light colour on a
dark background (and with less than maximum contrast) helped.  The new
colours are based on my memory of the old Philips green-screen monitor
currently connected to my Beeb (because I'm too lazy to get out of bed
and check it).

954f60b9e1 Add 4-cell mosaic graphics. 
These follow the same approach as 6-cell graphics: the smoothing
algorithm is disabled and there's no margin between character cells.
This is necessary to ensure that "upblock" and "dnblock" harmonise
with "lfblock" and "rtblock", the latter two being unified with 6-cell
graphics and the former not.

I've filled in the rest of the 4-cell characters on the basis that an
alternate history in which Teletext used 4-cell rather than 6-cell
graphics is perfectly plausible and Bedstead may as well support it.

a37c1240db Put mosaic graphics in their new home. 
That's the U+1FB00 block.  Annoyingly, no gaps are left for the
characters unified elsewhere, so the character codes are slightly
unsystematic.
 2019-01-20 00:54:32 +00:00
Ben Harris
4e4d1a5cd5 Convert "block", "lfblock" and "rtblock" to mosaic graphics. 
In Unicode, these will be unified with 6-cell mosaic graphics, so we
need to use the mosaic graphics system for them.

6bdb83305e A few interesting characters from U+1FBxx. 
That's the forthcoming "Graphics for Legacy Computing" block that will
finally have an official encoding of teletext mosaic graphics.

c78b95f6f0 Add Cyrillic letters necessary for Serbian. 
That's dje, je, lje, nje, tshe, and dzhe.  Because I got an email from
Serbian Wikipedia.

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

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

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.

"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.

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.

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.
