In hexfont: 'GNU Unifont' Hex Fonts

hexfont 0.3.1

• We update the hex font files to match GNU Unifont v15.0.01 (previously matched v14.0.01) (#3).
• unifont_combining() returns a character vector of Unicode code points that are "combining" glyphs (#4).
• The unifont()'s new argument ucp can restrict which Unicode code points are read (which can be faster than loading all of them).

hexfont 0.2.1

• We update the hex font files to match GNU Unifont v14.0.01 (previously matched v13.0.06).

Breaking Changes

• Included hex font files are now compressed by xz instead gzip and now end with a .xz instead of .gz. This reduces file sizes by about a third. Please note the function unifont() is still backwards compatible.

hexfont 0.1.1

• Initial release
• Includes all the hex font files included in the GNU Unifont source code distribution (v13.0.06). The version number is stripped from the file names in the precompiled directory and the hex fonts are all compressed by gzip but other than that the hex fonts are otherwise unchanged.
• The function unifont() loads in several GNU Unifont hex files as a single bittermelon::bm_font() object.
