Unicode.org Last Resort font is a Unicode font designed as a
fallback with representative glyphs and labels to show a missing
glyph belongs to a specific:
- Unicode Block with common characteristics
- Private Use Area, for which no (official) agreement exists
- Unassigned Block or code point, reserved for future assignment
- Noncharacter code point.

NOTES:
- A High Efficiency alternative with cmap table Format 13 Many-to-One
Range Mappings subtable is included, which may not be supported by
some Adobe and Windows apps, but is only 517KB, 6% of the size of the
8MB cmap table Format 12 Segmented Coverage subtable alternative.
- Both alternatives' cmap tables include Windows required Format 4
Segment Mapping to Delta Values subtable, but that of the High
Efficiency alternative is an empty stub subtable.
- Sources and build scripts are not packaged as they require Java, which
Cygwin does not support.
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
- last-resort-font 17.000
