Add Unicode 14.0 math script style variation selector mappings #218
Comments
Duplicate issue. Deleted. |
I think this issue was wrongly closed. Has anyone actually confirmed that this works? I did a TTX dump of STIXTwoMath-Regular: ttx ~/.fonts/s/STIXTwoMath-Regular.ttf Making sure I have the right version:
This just cannot work how you think it does. rg uvs= /home/fred/.fonts/s/STIXTwoMath-Regular.ttx |bat --language=xml Right?? Am I going nuts or are the mathematical script characters not even in the UVS cmap?? |
This was a duplicate of #187 -- but both issues are slated for the 2.20 release so no current release has these. |
why were they both closed as completed then :\ |
Very likely because they are fixed in the source files. |
i see but they require a proprietary editor to build and i lost like an hour debugging SILE before deciding to make sure the font actually works as advertised i'm not complaining, i should have verified sooner, but maybe don't mark issues closed in future if they aren't in a release or at least in master :-) |
John explained his process and rationale for closing issues that he fixed in the sources in #227. |
Hi Fred. Sorry about that. The STIX development is a little complicated because issues are collected in the public repo but STI Pub like to have delivery of beta fonts privately before releasing them into the wild. I agree that it isn’t ideal to be closing the public issues before the fixes are applied to the public release, and now regret doing that: I was not anticipating the public release being delayed so long. I’ll go back and reopen issues to ensure appropriate review when the new versions are pushed, and use labels to indicate source fixes delivered to STI Pub. [I am on sabbatical at the moment, but will be touching base with @davidmjones in September re. some math kerning testing outcomes that remain a concern.] |
Updated sources and fonts delivered to STI Pub for testing. Issue reopened pending public release. |
Unicode 14.0 defines new standardised variation selector sequences for chancery vs roundhand script styles of math alphabetics, but only for uppercase letters and only in regular weight:
For 2.20, the second (roundhand) set of these has been added to the format 14 cmap subtable. The chancery set of variation selector sequences is not needed in the STIX Two Math font because the chancery forms are default. [Note: if someone were to fork the STIX Two Math font to make a version in which the roundhand forms were default, it would be necessary to update the format 14 cmap subtable accordingly.]
The roundhand script style glyphs—including the lowercase and the bold style—are still also mapped in the Stylistic Set ss01 feature, as in v2.10
