** Description changed: - Ubuntu 10.10 dev, ttf-ubuntu-font-family 0.68+ufl-0ubuntu1. + The German glyph LATIN CAPTIAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) is not currently + in the 0.68 version of the Ubuntu Font Family. Other free fonts + frequently used in open-source contexts like DejaVu or Linux Libertine + as well as the fonts of other recent operating systems have it, so it + would be nice if the Ubuntu fonts have this character eventually. - The german glyph LATIN CAPTIAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) is missing from - the font. + Unicode separates the characters into blocks, (covering Cyrillic, + covering Devanagari and splitting Latin up into the Basics, Supplements, + Latin Extended A, Latin Extended, B Extended, C ..., D..., and Extended + Additional. These are the same cake splices that are being used to split + up work on the Ubuntu Font Family. 'ẞ' lives in the Latin Extended + Additional block, and at the moment work is focusing on Arabic and + Hebrew (fonts take a _long_ time to develop and it's not possible to do + everything at once at the beginning, so the build-out will be gradual). - Other free fonts frequently used in open-source contexts like DejaVu or - Linux Libertine as well as the fonts of other recent operating systems - have it, so it would be nice if the Ubuntu fonts had it too. + Please could you get anyone who needs this glyph to click the "Affects + me" button at the top, as this will help to gauge what priority to focus + on for each block/script/language to do next.
