GNU Unifont is a Unicode font collection with glyphs for all
visible Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (the first 64K)
character code points and many more, with supporting utilities
to view, define, modify, and convert fonts.

For more information see the project home page:

	https://unifoundry.com/unifont/

NOTE: Releases from 15.1 do not include Truetype format, only Opentype
format Unifont fonts, as previously announced.
As these fonts are bitmap glyphs rendered into modern font formats,
both formats should render the same glyphs.
All modern systems support both Opentype and Truetype format fonts,
so there should be few or no issues if releases provide only Opentype
format Unifont, which are less than half the file size of the Truetype
format.
A known issue with TrueType is Pango combining character rendering not
being fixed as the Pango maintainers want to support only OpenType.
If anyone encounters issues using the Opentype format Unifont,
please let us know so we can address any issues.

The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:

- unifont-fonts		17.0.05
- unifont-viewer	17.0.05
- unifont		17.0.05

2026-06-28	17.0.05

From the previous release, 28,000 Unicode Standard T-source Chinese
glyphs are available in the unifont_t font files, as an alternative to
the G-source (mainland China) glyphs in the other files.
These are provided as the official PRC Chinese glyphs are not available
under a free license.

- plane00-nonprinting.hex:
  - fixed the "N" in the glyph for U+FEFF.

- font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
  - Adjusted U+0E1A and U+0E1B to prevent their looking like other
    letters in the same script.
  - improved the Bopomofo Extension glyphs (U+31A0..U+31BF) to match the
    style of the previous change to Bopomofo basic block.
  - redrew Syriac Supplement glyphs U+0860..U+0865 and U+0867..U+086A.
  - redrew Syriac Supplement glyph U+0866.
  - adjusted U+9FA9 to make the right column empty.

- font/plane00/wqy.hex:
  - redrew U+3D07 to add a missing pixel and to avoid a collision with
    the third 水 (water) component.
  - adjusted U+56B9, U+74D2, U+9FA7, and U+9FAA so the rightmost column
    would be empty, conforming to the rest of the Chinese glyphs.

- font/plane01/plane01.hex:
  - added Tangut Components glyphs U+18800..U+188FF.

- font/plane02/zh-plane02.hex:

    glyph for U+24259.

    U+2795B..U+27BAA.
  - also added the 172 missing glyphs in the range U+27900–U+27BFF:
    U+27900..U+2790E, U+27910..U+27916, U+27918..U+27943,
    U+27945..U+2795A, U+27BAB..U+27BC5, and U+27BC7..U+27BFF.
  - added these 53 glyphs: U+20800..U+20802, U+20804..U+20806, U+20808,

  - modified U+2012F, U+20176, U+201EB, U+2020A, U+20223, U+20228,
    U+202ED, U+24AC9, U+25562, U+2648D, and U+29BDD to make the right
    column empty.
  - adjusted U+201A2 to make the right column empty.
