Hello, Attached is a patch for adding three hexagon-like glyphs to Sans (benzene rings and 'software function'). They were based on pre-existing hexagons in Sans as well as the Unicode reference tables. Also, 'flatness' was created as a reference to 'parallelogram'. -John

Hi, This patch adds Quine corners and cropping marks to Sans. Based on the Unicode charts. This also resolves: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9547 -John

Heh, does this mean you're offering to draw the thousands of glyphs? Even if we did begin work on Japanese support (quite unlikely for now), I think more people would be annoyed than pleased, because it wouldn't be very good at first, and on systems where DejaVu is the default font, it would prevent better fonts from being used to display Japanese (without custom configuration).

DejaVu will include japanese glyphs when a glyph designer decides to contribute them to the project (same way armenian, lao, etc happened). Dejavu tries to do a good quality font - that means it does not coble together glyphs of various origin and quality to achieve the widest unicode coverage, but only merges stuff that is up to the quality level of current glyphs. OTOH unlike other font projects DejaVu is not limited to any particular region of the world. Any submission up to the font standards will be merged, even if it covers unicode blocks totally different from the ones currently worked on. One first step is to open an entry in DejaVu bugzilla to register your interest in japanese glyphs (to be honest we know people would like japanese but it's an awful lot of glyphs so just opening an entry is not likely to lead to quick japanese support) What could lead to quick japanese support is if you could ask some japanese designers to contribute to the project (we do prefer internationnal glyphs to be done by local people that know local style/typographical conventions). They do not need to be professionnal designers BTW - dejavu tooling is 100% FLOSS and available in major distribution so anyone with some art sense and free time can contribute new glyphs (art/CS students, etc). Some of the major DejaVu contributors(Continue reading)

I just have two questions/requests: Shouldn't hexagons in U+232C, U+23e3 be as thick as U+2394 and U+2B21? I'd also prefer bolder glyphs in Bold fonts. I personally think it makes more sense than having the exact same glyphs for symbols in all font variants. Cheers, Denis Moyogo Jacquerye

Most importantly the DV 'oblique' a is one-storey, but also the serifs are different.

Well, the lettershapes are the same for Sans and Mono. Only Serif has real italic glyphs, but it's called Oblique because that hasn't always been the case. First versions of Serif Oblique didn't have special glyphs. As the project went on some letters were changed. If people agree that we should call our Serif "Italic" instead of "Oblique", we could do that easily. I don't think it would break documents that use the font. greetings Ben
