ITP: last-resort-font

[Brian Inglis <Brian.Inglis@Shaw.ca>]

I would like to offer the following package on Cygwin:

* last-resort-font	15.100

This package is available in the Arch, Fedora, Gentoo, and OpenSUSE
distributions.

It is licensed under SIL OFL-1.1.

It was originally developed by Apple for macOS, modified to work on
non-Apple systems for Unicode.org, and is updated by Michael Everson of
Evertype and Unicode.org, and released by Unicode.org in conjunction
with the standard, which has just been updated to 15.1.

Proposed Announcement:

Unicode Last Resort fallback font

Unicode.org Last Resort font is a Unicode font designed as a
fallback with representative glyphs and labels to show a missing
glyph belongs to a specific:

* Unicode Block with common characteristics
* Private Use Area, for which no (official) agreement exists
* Unassigned Block or code point, reserved for future assignment
* Noncharacter code point.

NOTE

A High Efficiency alternative with cmap table Format 13 Many-to-One
Range Mappings subtable is included, which may not be supported by some
Adobe and Windows apps, but is only 517KB, 6% of the size of the 8MB cmap
table Format 12 Segmented Coverage subtable alternative.

Both alternatives cmap tables include Windows required Format 4 Segment
Mapping to Delta Values subtable, but that of the High Efficiency
alternative is an empty stub subtable.
