I reworked both the experience report and the font that I
published on my web page at Dec 03., 2004. The new stuff
replaces the old one, it is available at:
http://www.bgaertner.gmxhome.de/Sqm17n.htm
The font is now separated from the experience report
(this will facilitate future updates of the report), but you
will need both archives.
What is new:
1. Hannes Hirtzel told me that Univers is the name of a
commercial font and that I should avoid that name.
He also wrote that we have a long-standing tradition
to use geographical names and proposed 'Sofia Unicode'
'SofiaSF', 'Sofia'. From these proposals I took "SofijaUC".
2. Some arabic and japanese glyphs of the font that I published
at Dec 03 were corrupted. This is due to a subtle bug in a
method of StrikeFont that reads *.sf2 files. That bug is
explained in the reworked experience report
Regrettably, I had to recreate the font.
(Those who downloaded it will have to download it
again; my apologies for that inconvenience, but all this
stuff is currently only for the fearless ones.)
3. As a hopefully nice add-on, I wrote a small Glyph Browser
that can be used to view the font "SofijaUC". For details
please visit the above-mentioned web page.
The experience report contains some change sets that I plan
to submit as bug fixes, but I will wait two more days for
feedback.
Greetings,
Boris
