unifont: update to 9.0.03
21 October 2016 Release (Unifont 9.0.03): This release updates some glyphs and \
adds these ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR) scripts:
U+E8E0..U+E8F4 Tonal System, a base 16 system for counting, weights, and \
measures invented by John William Nystrom, a 19th-century civil engineer. Drawn \
by Paul Hardy.
U+F8C8 Aiha, by Ursula K. Le Guin, added the Aiha double combining glyph. \
This was omitted in the original CSUR Aiha description. Drawn by Paul Hardy.
U+0F0E70..U+0F11E7 Pikto, a pictographic Constructed Language \
("ConLang") created by John E. Williams in the 1950s.
The addition of the Pikto script is the main change in this version. Andrew \
Miller scanned the Pikto pictographs from John Williams' Pikto book. Paul Hardy \
and Johnnie Weaver drew the Unifont Pikto glyphs. A detailed chart of these \
glyphs and their meanings is on the (very large, about 1 Mbyte!) Pikto page.
The Tonal System is a comprehensive base 16 counting and measuring system \
devised during the nascense of the international effort to standardize on a \
decimal system of measurement. A Tonal System overview appears on this Tonal \
page.
The large bitmap linked at the top of this page now includes the Plane 0 CSUR glyphs.
