+2010-09-19 Stevan_White
+ * FreeSerif.sfd:
+
+ Sinhala: Fixed one lookup table mistake, and a couple of glpyh
+ omissions, that Harshula pointed out.
+
+ * FreeSans.sfd, FreeSansBold.sfd, FreeSansBoldOblique.sfd, FreeSansOblique.sfd:
+
+ Sans: Applied Daniel Johnsons improvement to capital Eng to Sans, as
+ described in previous commits.
+
+ * FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd:
+
+ Coptic: added alphabet to bold. Accent marks not working -- a mystery.
+ Some tweeks in medium face as well.
+
+ glyph cleanup -- points too close, some glyphs outside bounding boxes.
+
+2010-09-17 Stevan_White
+ * FreeSerif.sfd:
+
+ Sinhala: tightened up left side of na and derivatives.
+ tighened up left sides of u, lla, na, dha, ndha, nya, jnya
+ tightened up some of the vowel conjuncts, and left side of nna.
+
+2010-09-16 Stevan_White
+ * FreeSerif.sfd:
+
+ Coptic: fiddled about with letter forms, striving for a kind of
+ consistency.
+
+ Sinhala: Harshula noticed four incorrect combined forms. Fixed these.
+
+ * FreeMono.sfd, FreeMonoBold.sfd, FreeMonoBoldOblique.sfd, FreeMonoOblique.sfd:
+
+ Latin Extended-A: Applied Daniel Johnson's patch that made two versions
+ of capital Eng. His explanation:
+ '
+ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8A
+
+ The form of capital Eng currently in all three FreeFont faces
+ is that used by the Sami people, resembling a capital N with a
+ hooked right descender.
+ However, the form preferred for African and Amerindian
+ languages resembles a tall lowercase n with a hook that almost
+ meets the left vertical. (See wikipedia link above for a
+ visual.)
+
+ Recommend moving the existing Sami-style Eng to a PUA or
+ non-Unicode slot, creating African-style Eng at U+014A, and
+ adding a LOCL table with substitution rules for
+ Inari Sami (ISM), Lule Sami (LSM),
+ Northern Sami (NSM) and Skolt Sami (SKS).
+ '
+ Latin Extended-B: Also in his patch:
+ added U+0220 (Latin Capital Letter N with long leg)
+
+2010-09-15 Stevan_White
+ * FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifBold.sfd, FreeSerifBoldItalic.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
+
+ Latin for Sami: Daniel Johnson's patch added alternative form of Eng for
+ African languages and a 'local' table for the Sami form.
+
+ * FreeSerif.sfd:
+
+ Sinhala: regularized kundaliya a bit.
+ re-named a few more ligature glyphs, for consistency
+
+ * FreeSans.sfd:
+
+ Put stray lookup into its proper subtable.
+
+ Gurmukhi: improved some names of ligature glyphs, and found one
+ apparently doubled table entry (kagurmukhi_nuktagurmukhi.nukt now
+ gur_ka.nukt)
+
+ * FreeSans.sfd, FreeSerif.sfd, FreeSerifItalic.sfd:
+
+ Various measures to fix problems FontForge Find Problems reports under
+ ATT, including a mass glyph rename of Sinhala ligatures.

+ * FreeSerif.sfd:

+ Buginese: lookup tables and glyphs to re-order vowels, courtesy of
+ Mohammad Anwari.
+
+ Sinhala: complete replacement of range with glyphs extracted more
+ directly from Yannis Haralambous' sinha TeX font (last version was
+ also derived from this font, but had undergone detrimental processing).
+ Implements "rak" glyphs using three GSUB lookup steps.
+
+ * FreeSans.sfd:
+
+ Osmanya: courtesy of Daniel Johnson.
+
+ Note this script is slanted in every sample I've seen. That is
+ justification enough that the glyphs in this range look slated,
+ although the face isn't oblique.
+
+ UCAS Extended: by Daniel Johnson
+
+2010-09-05 Stevan_White
+ * FreeSerif.sfd:
+
+ Fix for FontForge warning (v 20090923)
+
+ "On Windows many apps will have problems with this font's kerning,
+ because because 58 of its glyph kern pairs cannot be mapped to
+ unicode-BMP kern pairs"
+
+ This was due to kern tables for the Musical Symbols range, which isn't
+ in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane.
+
+ Removed this lookup. Might consider another way to position these
+ symbols.
+
+2010-08-30 Stevan_White

+ * FreeSerif.sfd:
+
+ Resolves class of validation problems in Sinhala: Bad Glyph Name.
+
+ This is a FontForge bug, that appears when certain types of problems
+ occur in the glyph contours. Probably an arithmetic error causes some
+ corruption.
+
+ Corrected missing extrema in recent Latin Extended-D range
+
+ Sinhala: re-did previous patch using a more recent one.
+ Un-did some other glyph changes that didn't help much anyway.
+
+ * FreeMono.sfd:

+
+ * FreeSerifBold.sfd:
+
+ Fixed problem with name. This should be the same as before the revision
+ except for the fix.
+ The KDE font installer was saying this face was incorrectly named
+ Free Serif Bold Italic, but this wasn't quite correct. One of the other
+ language names said it was named Free Serif Halvfett Kursiv, which
+ conflicted with that language name for the real Free Serif Bold Italic.
+
+ Regression: for some unknown reason, previous release gets built so
+ that my system thinks it is Free Serif Bold Italic.
+ This is a mystery. There is nothing about Italic in the file.

+ http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/recom.htm
+
+ FontForge looks for these glyphs in certain places and copies them.
+ Otherwise, apparently, it will find a glyph elsewhere (unclear how) and

+ (such as a non-monospace font).
