History


----- 1999-10-xx Old Persian Cuneiform typeface designed.
0.900 2000-10-xx Original version (which never worked) posted. There were no math alphabets included.
----- 2001-03-04 Etruscan typeface designed.
0.910 2001-03-29 Initial working beta release. The math alphabets had been started but were quite rough.
0.911 2001-03-31 Combining diaeresis added for Gothic need. The math alphabets were slightly improved during the two day interval, but remained incomplete and rough.
0.912 2001-04-02 One incorrect glyph in the provisional Old Persian Cuneiform range was corrected. Once again, two day period wasn't sufficient to finish those math alphabets.
0.913 2001-04-20 The specification for glyph names (postscript) was revised, so Code2001 was updated accordingly. Cypriote syllabary and Aegean numbers have been added provisionally, the code points are not official. The same can be said for Ugaritic Cuneiform. Although the math alphabets were worked on during this interval, they remain incomplete and so forth.
0.914 2002-01-01 Fixing a couple of dead links in the accompanying HTML files. Also fixing the 'java related line- break' bug!!! In spite of the eight month interval, those math alphabets are still not finished. But, there was the addition of the Pollard Script in one form added to the Private Use Area of the BMP.
0.915 2002-01-10 Removing provisional scripts from Plane One. (By popular demand on the Unicode e-list.) Adding provisional scripts to Plane Fifteen. Corrected provisional Old Persian Cuneiform, Ugaritic, and Cirth to conform to latest proposals. Adding fictional scripts Tengwar and Cirth to the Private Use Area of the Basic Multilingual Plane in accordance with the ConScript Unicode Registry's proposals.
0.916 2004-09-22 Many scripts added to Unicode 4.0 had been added to the font in rough form to enable testing. Due to popular demand, this updated version is being released, although these rough glyphs really, really need to be improved.
