Hi Peter and all fellow digivalists, I've got a couple of questions about Junicode, I'm posting here on DM-L as I think others might be interested in your answers. Thanks in advance.
1. I casually noticed that a new version is out AND that there is an announce mailing list: perhaps announcements of new releases could also be forwarded to dm-l? I subscribed to the announcement ml, but it could be useful for those on this list who haven't subscribed (yet).
2. Installation under Linux: the instructions are very clear, but I noticed that there is a file (/etc/defoma/hints/ttf-junicode.hints) in my installation not included in the zip archive, is this file created using the "fc-cache junicode" command? Doesn't seem the case at first look.
3. I'm very glad to see that Junicode is slowly but surely becoming a fully MUFI compliant font, but what about characters not yet in MUFI? what's the best way to ask for their inclusion? filing a feature request to MUFI first (and putting you in CC:)? or you'd be glad to consider it first?
4. I really like the (oldish) Beowulf-1 font, any plans to revamp it or include it inside Junicode's PUA (I would settle with that)? Hope this request doesn't sound too weird :)
Again on Junicode under Linux: Debian offers excellent support, the latest version is already available as a standard DEB package (unstable branch); for RPM based distros I built an RPM package which has been accepted in the Mandriva contrib repository, but it needs to be updated to the latest version (hence question n. 2).
Ciao
