PROGRAM
#345 “Go to Library” link in Blocks/Favourites
Favourites tab did not retranslate completely
CHARACTER DISPLAY
#320 Drew special characters framed : Dives Akuru, Gunjala, Kannada, Lanna, Sharada, Soyombo, Zanabazar etc
Drew emoji and character simultaneously for some selected VS16’s where text is more valuable than emoji
…Of course, Library never draws in such a fashion: either emoji or text
Changed dotted frame : all characters have identical thickness; lighter a bit;
? fixed HiDPI
All virtual viramas are now drawn programmatically : dotted circle is exactly the same. No prerendered like 2.5.1 Gondi, though glyph and possibility remains. Where the cross does not fit ? just move dotted circle a half-radius upwards
All characters with special properties now have pale dotted frame even in Sample
OS samples of Arabic, Kharosthi and Old Uyghur use ALM/RLM in the same fashion as Unicodia’s samples do , this is tied to script now rather than to font
Khitan: shrunk just a bit, implemented a new drawing method w/o margins
Korean as a last-resort font: shrunk just a bit to prevent jumping height (Katakana, Hiragaha, Hangul already OK)
More aggressively enforce size of “Sample” pane
SEARCH
Word LETTER has lower priority in U16 Legacy Supplement
Rewrote (and slowed down) search engine. Better search order for “Pa” and “lett”, worse for “Ukrainian”, but I really cannot tell “Phags-Pa” from “Byelorussian-Ukrainian”. Unless you write comma/parentheses, results are the same, just order changed. Hope fixed more than broke
More keywords that lower result’s priority: e.g. SIGN, PATTERN
