I redrew glyphs with the changes that I intend to make.

I have redrawn the brackets to have greater consistency.

MPa looks worse with the "M" moved to the right, so I am leaving it as is.

If a glyph is in Wen Quan Yi, I do not want to change it in Unifont. U+2F80 falls into that category. I showed the glyph to Chinese people and they told me that anyone who knows Chinese will not have any problem recognizing that character; the pixel is supposed to represent a brush stroke. It might not be optimal, so if you get the change made in Wen Quan Yi, I will make it in Unifont. Wen Quan Yi is maintained by Chinese people who are able to judge what looks okay in Chinese ideographs.

The radicals you mention are positioned okay vertically. Chinese people have told me that there will be no problem for people who know Chinese to tell what they are. The vertical offsets position them in a little less extreme location within the 16 by 16 pixel cell. For the walk radicals for example, the others have more vertical detail to render, so they extend to the bottom row; there is no need to do that with the one that is raised one row.

David,

Thank you. I am creating a Unifont 10.0.06 package right now, and so am freezing any more additions until after its release.

For Chinese glyphs, I have had Chinese people review changes before using them. I will do that with these new submissions.

I still have some wrapping up to do before the Unifont 10.0.06 release. If I don't get it done this weekend, I expect to have it done next weekend.

Stay tuned!

The top of U+2E82 CJK RADICAL SECOND ONE should be at the height of the top of other radicals.

U+2ECC CJK RADICAL SIMPLIFIED WALK should be lower to match the other “walk” radicals.

The bottom two horizontal strokes of U+2F80 KANGXI RADICAL BRUSH should not be joined on the right side.

U+3012 POSTAL MARK should be lower to match the digits.

U+3018 LEFT WHITE TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET through U+301B RIGHT WHITE SQUARE BRACKET should be shifted horizontally to match the other fullwidth brackets.

U+301F LOW DOUBLE PRIME QUOTATION MARK should be more like U+301E DOUBLE PRIME QUOTATION MARK but lower.

U+3035 VERTICAL KANA REPEAT MARK LOWER HALF should reach all the way to the top of the cell to touch the top half of the repeat mark.

U+30A0 KATAKANA-HIRAGANA DOUBLE HYPHEN should be centered.

The CJK compatibility characters U+338E, U+33A9, U+33B4, U+33B8, U+33C1, U+33D0, U+33D1, U+33D3, and 33F3–33FE should be centered.

U+33AB SQUARE MPA should have a left margin.

U+33C0 SQUARE K OHM and U+33C1 SQUARE M OHM should not have serifs on the omega, to match U+03A9 GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA.

U+33D1 SQUARE LN is too short.
