This resulted in the currency script returning a new version, while also
being inconsistent (the title says 1.2.0, but we're offering 1.1.0 for
download)
TTF-and-OTF-fonts - make CJK fonts a section2 so that it is
slightly bigger than the other items. Everything after it, either
re languages or specific fonts, is logically part of CJK fonts.
No change in indexing (i.e. CJK fonts itself is not indexed).
I reworked the paragraph about Unicode coverage, but left the
original in place while working on it, and then forgot to remove
it, causing an almost duplicate paragraph.
Explain that some recent fonts have TTF files with hinting, and
OTF files without. Expand the comment in TTF-and-OTF-fonts to
explain why OTF should be preferred, and link to previous page
for why hinting can be undesirable or unusable.
Rework second fc-match example:
'fcmatch -a TYPE | less' is useless: -a functions similarly to
fc-list, any following parameter is ignored. So the example listed
all installed font-style-weight combinations for all three TYPEs.
Replace by plain fc-match TYPE.
Remove TYPE specification from introductory paragraph, it is only
used for the replacement command here. Use the same markup for the
command and in the explanations, so that a capital TYPE in the
explanations is replaced by a smaller slanted TYPE.
The command after this shows a fuller variant with the type, lang
and weight being specified.
Typos, rewordings, put the conf file edits in <screen> blocks to
stand out, add details re GNOME Tweaks and Thunderbird.
I think I made a slight change to one of the wordings, but I now
forget which.
Outstanding item: 'fc-match -a Type | less' wording made me unsure
of exactly which variants of Sans Sasn-serif would be accepted.
Trying to test this (I have far too many fonts on current system)
appeared to act as if hte Type was being ignored. Need to think
about this.
Note that at this time, it's backend is still considered experimental.
It also requires Google's shader compiler to build, which is available
from https://github.com/google/shaderc/blob/main/downloads.md. This is
also known as 'glslc'.
We use <application> in the markup for all package names. Do that
consistently for rendered text on these pages, except when referring
to a version of a package.
Italic is a style, not a face - make the fontconfg page match
the TTF-and-OTF-fonts page.
Do not use caps for 'variable', it is not a proper noun.
Typos.
Change one or two 'normal' to other words: too many uses of normal
throughout the page. Mozilla's CSS doc describes weight 400 as
'Normal (Regular)', so for weights normal is the correct word
(Regular only applies to non-book non-oblique non-slant styles).
Rework GNU Freefonts text, Noto 'Latin' fonts include all recent
latin and cyrillic glyphs, the Freefonts only have minority glyphs
which were in Unicode in 2012. Noto is now preferred, so can
provide thos uncommon glyphs if it has been installed.
tuning-fontconfig - link directly to the Samples PDFs of my website
for viewing the aliases, as was already done under the Liberation
fonts in the TTF-and-OTF page.
Remove infromation about hinting from TTF-and-OTF-fonts page,
adding a comment to clarify that infromation about fontconfig
is on the previous page (in case anyone decides to install a
font and lands on the TTF-and-~OTF page).
