I just want to note that this has not fallen off my radar.  I have
already applied the patch in the upcoming version.

I am hoping to provide a resolution to over 40 bug reports that
someone has made against Unifont over the past few months on Savannah:

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=unifont

I hope to get through most of those over the next month, and then
provide an updated version for Debian.  I had worked through many more
for the current Unifont release.

This Debian bug was mentioned as being low priority, so I would like
to submit the next release with as many updates as possible versus a
"micro-release".

I also recently helped the HarfBuzz maintainer identify a HarfBuzz
bug.  HarfBuzz renders glyphs for Pango, which in turn renders text
for GNOME.  I was not sure if there was something deep down in
Unifont's structure that I would have to update, but that turns out
not to be the case:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787284

If anyone does need this patch applied urgently, let me know and I
will be able to fix it the following weekend.  Otherwise, I am
planning for a Unifont update with a lot of glyph fixes.

Thank you,


Paul Hardy
