David,

I have replaced the existing Gothic glyphs with these. I will note the codex that you mention as their basis.

Thank you,

Paul Hardy

Yes, I overlooked that email in the Unifont 10.0.01 release, but later added it. One complication was the anonymous address it came from--I have to make sure that each person giving contributions agrees to the GPL licensing terms of the package before I can use any contributions.

(I also sent Paul suggested changes for Gothic at the same time that I suggested the changes to the Church Slavonic CJK characters. I suppose they were accidentally ignored?

The Gothic glyphs’ heights are inconsistent, ranging from 5 to 10 pixels.

Those suggested glyphs are based on the glyphs in the Codex Argenteus, of which U+10330, U+10331, U+1033A, U+1033B, and U+10342 are quite different from the current Unifont glyphs. They are all 8 pixels tall, ignoring ascenders and descenders, to match the uncial style used in the codex.
