🖋 FONTS / 🤡 MISRENDERS
Finally switched Khmer to serif: fixed all troubles
Osage: W10 Gadugi → Uto Franken (Noto Sans), because of one misrender (pre-reform?)

🗑️ UnicodiaFunky FONT
Fixed Gurung to Firefox that started to support U16, the first among all major software
(Garay too, but it’s a straightforward RtL, new umlauts just start working)
Removed Gurung “anusvara+vowel” ligating rules, they are wrong and misrender beyond workaround in Firefox. Use vowel+anusvara.
Made new Garay a bit bolder (still few testing characters only)
Fixups for Khmer

💾 OTHER DATA
🐛 Somehow Greek did not load my font for Coptic characters in description
🐛 Identified one of Bettencourt’s characters sets as BBC Master, made a separate old computer

🎞️ BLOCK ICONS / 🔬 HiDPI
≈40 icons changed, either HiDPI pixel-hinting, brand new character, or both
Three new engines for HiDPI hinting (incl. Latin and Cyrillic)
Box Drawing and Control Pictures are now drawn programmatically rather than scaled SVG
All changed icons now use “automatic” colour instead of explicit blue/orange/…

📚 TEXT
Wrote about principles of encoding Egyptian hieroglyphs
+1 sentence about U16, Adlam
Very sloppy Mahajani
Grammar, typos…

Created an initial task for translators

⛩ UnicodiaHan FONT
Reloaded glyphs
Handed 15 glyphs to BabelStone

🎞️ BLOCK ICONS
Math alnum: emphasized gap in 𝓠
Nandinagari: changed to basic K (probably remained from gag font in Funky)
Myanmar: same (could not make a good icon for a long time)
Odia: same (did not even change while migrating to Noto Serif)
Zanabazar: hinted by all four sides, like Kawi
Control pictures: hinted by all three sides with a special engine
(All have “automatic” colour now instead of black/orange)

⚗️ SYNTHESIZED ICONS FOR SEARCH
Tibetan: shifted up

📚 TEXT
🐛 [ja] Red links
Rewrote in advance a few articles as if U17 was out
[en] Minor typos

🐞 PROGRAM
#436 Save window’s size/position; revert to default if desktop size (DPI, screen configuration etc) changed
Though maximized window stays anyway, even on a wrong screen, even with default non-maximized size
Trivial local menu in Blocks/Library/Favourites

🌐 INTERNATIONALIZATION
Some punctuation are configurable via locale.xml

⚙ TECHNICAL
Upd OpenSsl to self-compiled unofficial version (official v1 has gone but someone is still backporting CVEs)
Added in advance 3 final icons of new U17 blocks and some data, disabled in code
Icon engine for Zanabazar/Kawi can take fractional sizes, with granularity of 0.1

🧱 BUILD PROCESS
GwLoader now better handles comments

🗑️ UnicodiaFunky FONT

Improved outline: Uruguay
Updated to higher standards, w/o actual complaints: Arab Emirates

📚 TEXT
🐛 [en] Found lots of strange heading spaces in blocks
[en] Now Punctuation — general and Punctuation — supplemental
One more sentence for Garay
[en,ru] Minor typos

🗃️ LIBRARY
Notice about Antarctica: a competitor flag exists

🎞️ BLOCK ICONS
Remade kana icons/names/rules
Extracted RtL Asian scripts to a separate colour

💾 OTHER DATA
Ethiopic font is now smaller in Abugida, and as big in Ethiopic

🐞 PROGRAM
🐛 Forgot to mention our translator to Japanese

🌐 INTERNATIONALIZATION
Japanese translation, still in beta condition
No L10n concatenations in a couple strings; harder to translate but more flexible on non-European typography
Simplified making long alphabets by splitting into sequential parts
Sticking blocks together (Greek, arrows…) and custom sorting (previously used for Ol Chiki < Ol Onal < Old Klingon, now for Japanese kanji→kana) work together
Legacy computing, variation selectors, shapes, punctuation stick together
Ct+Sh+W shows “sorting telltales” to debug localization
Slower but more reliable internationalization of numbers
Terms may be sorted by English name, primarily for complex languages like Japanese
Characters in Number Forms’ description were tofu sometimes (relied on font substitution)

⚙ TECHNICAL
SVG icons may be repainted to any colour now, that’ll allow easier reskinning. Done now in RtL Asia, new kana and four special icons. Making a new colour pair was hard, one pilot icon looked good but multiple didn’t. Did not touch PNG icons: they are really few and can be fixed afterwards.
Version may consist of 4 numbers, mostly for pre-releases

Enclosed alphanumeric: added dedicated font chain to enlarge glyphs, drew emoji over characters
Ancient Greek music: reduced window

🖼 GRAPHIC EMOJI
