The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
* unifont 14.0.02
* unifont-fonts 14.0.02
* unifont-viewer 14.0.02
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.
