[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#709805: Bug#709805: Bug#709805: task-chinese-t: missing glyphs in font set(s)



And—it seems the not too distant future is already here, partly.

ㆺ of the extended Bopomofo range was already added in a new version of
fonts-hanazono (20130222-1).

Hello Toni (et al.),

𠀀 is available in, at least, the font HanaMinA [1] and
𠀅 is available in, at least, fonts such as HanaMinB [1] and IPAmjMincho [2].

[1] fonts-hanazono
[2] fonts-ipamj-mincho

As for the three characters in the “Bopomofo extended” range, they were added
in Unicode version 6.0, and support for them will probably come in the not too
distant future. Lately we have had extremely good CJK coverage, rather fast.

Kind regards,
Kess

Dear Toni and others,

there are 75 thousand Chinese characters in Unicode, hence one ttf file which has a limit of 256x256 glyphs can not contain all Chinese characters, at least two ttf font files are required. Some packages contain 2 ttf files often labelled A and B one from Chinese characters in the BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane) and another for those in SIP (Supplementary Ideographic Plane) . The example above is from SIP.


Regards
John

Dear Maintainer,

this bug report may be relevant to antother font packages, but I don't
know which one. Please reassign as you deem appropriate.

In the Chinese font packages, some glyphs seem to be missing. You can
see the problem on this web page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuyin

For me, these characters don't display:

1. In the table "Rhymes & Medials", there is this text:

   "From the obsolete character 𠀀 hē, ..."

   You can see that the glyph for the character after "character" is
   missing.

   Three rows down, the same problem occurs in this text:

   "From 𠀅 hài, bronze form of 亥"

2. Further down, just above the "See also" section, there is a table
titled "Bopomofo Extended", where the last three glyphs are missing.


I have these fonts installed:
