Unifont 17.0.01 Released

Item posted by Paul Hardy <unifoundry> on Tue 09 Sep 2025 02:54:33 PM UTC.

9 September 2025 Unifont 17.0.01 is now available.  This is a major release to align with Unicode 17.0.0.

- Updates to synchronize Unifont with Unicode 17.0.0 release, including the addition of new script ranges Sidetic, Sharada Supplement, Tolong Siki, Beria Erfe, Miscellaneous Symbols Supplement, and Tai Yo.

- All Arabic glyphs introduced in Unicode 17.0.0.

- Updates and additions to many ideographs in the first list of the second round of simplified Chinese characters.

- Updates to many other glyphs; see ChangeLog for details.

- All C programs are now configured to compile cleanly with the GCC flags "-std=c99", "-Wall", and "-pedantic".  This should allow compilation with all versions of GCC from GCC 4.2.1 (the last version with a GPLv2 license) to the latest.  GCC 4.2.1 compiles C99 sources, but not by default and so requires the "-std=c99" flag to compile hex2otf.c.

- The unifont.info Texinfo file is now installed in $(PREFIX)/share/info compressed with "gzip -9" by default.
