The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:

* unifont		15.0.04
* unifont-viewer	15.0.04
* unifont-fonts		15.0.04

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 

This is the last Unifont major release which will include Truetype
format Unifont by default.
It is the first Cygwin major 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 major
release, so we can address any issues, or possibly continue to also
provide the Truetype format Unifont.
