Special attention -has been given to implementing accepted best practices for OpenType -fonts, such as the use of font features to access variant glyph shapes -that were previously only available via the Unicode Private Use Areas. - -The letterspacing and kerning of the text fonts have been -significantly improved. - -True small capital variants (Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek), accessible -via the OpenType font feature smcp, have been added for all text -fonts. - -Text (lowercase or oldstyle) numerals, available via the font features -pnum and onum, have been added, in addition to natural-spacing -figures. - -Alphabetic superscripts and numeric sub- and superscripts, accessible -via the subs and sups font features, have been added. - -Fractions are available via the frac feature, as well as numerators -(numr) and denominators (dnom). - -The OpenType MATH table has been completely rewritten and extended. - -Additions have been made to these Unicode blocks: - Latin-1 Supplement U+0080 - U+00FF - Latin Extended-A U+0100 - U+017F - Latin Extended Additional U+0180 - U+024F - Cyrillic U+0400 - U+04FF - Greek and Coptic U+0370 - U+03FF - IPA blocks U+0250 - U+02AF - -BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY - -Because of the scope of the changes, especially to the text fonts, -STIX Two is not a drop-in replacement for earlier versions. While we -understand and sympathize with the difficulties caused by the -incompatibilities we have introduced, we nevertheless felt they were -necessary to address some of the shortcomings of earlier versions of -the fonts and to position us to respond to the needs of modern -publishing. - -Earlier versions of the STIX fonts are deprecated and no longer -supported. We urge all users of the STIX fonts to upgrade to the new -versions as soon as possible. - -To enable the new and old versions of the fonts to coexist during the -transition phase, the fonts have been renamed as follows: - - STIX 1.1.0 STIX 2.0.0 - - STIX-Regular STIX Two Text - STIX-Italic STIX Two Text Italic - STIX-Bold STIX Two Text Bold - STIX-BoldItalic STIX Two Text Bold Italic - - STIX Math Regular STIX Two Math - -The four text fonts contain glyphs from Unicode text blocks only. For -example, all characters from the range U+2190 to U+3063 and U+E000 to -U+E368 and all plane 1 characters have been removed from the text -fonts and are now found only in STIX Two Math. Whenever possible, -characters have been removed from the Private Use Area (U+E000-U+F8FF) -and made available via font features instead. - -The STIX-General packaging of the fonts is no longer supported. |
