The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * unifont 15.0.02 * unifont-viewer 15.0.02 * unifont-fonts 15.0.02 GNU Unifont is a Unicode font with a glyph for every visible Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane code point and more, with supporting utilities to modify the font. The Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane covers the first 65,536 (or 2^16) Unicode code points. NOTE As it says below in the release notes, this is the last Unifont release which will include Truetype format Unifont by default. It is the first Cygwin release which also includes Opentype format Unifont. As these fonts are bitmap glyphs rendered into modern font formats, both formats should render the same glyphs. All modern systems support both Opentype and Truetype format fonts, so there should be few or no issues if future releases provide only Opentype format Unifont, which are also less than half the file size of the Truetype format. If anyone encounters issues using the Opentype format Unifont in place of the Truetype format Unifont, please let us know before the next release, so we can address any issues, or possibly continue to also provide the Truetype format Unifont. For more information see the project home page: https://unifoundry.com/unifont/ For changes since the previous release, see below or read /usr/share/doc/unifont/NEWS after installation.

In the future, only OpenType font files will be part of the ordinary font building using the hex2otf program. TrueType fonts will have to be built manually. * Minor update to allow for separate building of TrueType and OpenType fonts. This is in preparation for the future removal of TrueType font files from default font builds, in preference for OpenType font files. That change is planned for the release of Unifont 15.1.01, which will correspond to the release of the Unicode 15.1.0 standard scheduled for September 2023. * Added Doxygen annotation to C programs and corresponding ".h" header files. Annotated output is generated in a new "doxygen" subdirectory. Doxygen output consists of a browsable set of HTML pages and a hyperlinked PDF document. * Updates to make files to fix issues with redundant building under some circumstances. * Added 196 Plane 2 and Plane 3 Chinese ideographs drawn by 湖 远星 to the basic Unifont font files for coverage of the General Standard Chinese Characters set. Also added biang glyphs drawn by Ming Fan. * Fullwidth CJK characters that appeared to be boldface in the range U+FF00..U+FFEF were updated using glyphs from Wen Quan Yi, with some modifications.
