  • Make sure to pick TrueType when downloading. Even though the math does work out with an em size of 2000, the em square size and glyph positions are kinda bugged in OTF downloads.

@Meek Can support for Unicode 17 be added to the fontStructor?

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 7th october 2025

Note: The Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Serbian Cyrillic texts doesn't appear correctly due to FontStruct's lack of locl OpenType feature.

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 9th october 2025

@Meek Some Unicode blocks still appear to be missing in the block list.

I wonder where Miscellaneous Symbols Supplement is? It should be between Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement and Znamenny Musical Notation.

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 21st october 2025

Already two months of waiting for Unicode 17 support to be added since its release on September 9, 2025…

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 13th november 2025

When support for OpenType features arrive, I'm definitely adding them to the font.

Impressive work. How do you know so much about Unicode? 10/10

Comment by Frodo7 3rd december 2025

@Frodo7 Thanks!

For the characters that display on my system, I built those characters, then I compared them with the code charts on Unicode's website and made adjustments as necessary.

For the characters that don't display on my system (mainly the scripts introduced in Unicode 16 and 17, Kaktovik numerals, and Symbols for Legacy Comuting (+Supplement)), I used the code charts on Unicode's website to have built said characters from.

This Wikipedia page has a list of scripts in both ISO 15924 and Unicode, which the names in the ISO 15924 column appear in the sample above.

Whats with all the g's looking funky

Comment by j_ggug 4th december 2025

So I surpassed the Staff Pick with most glyphs when adding various arrows, playing cards, dominoes, and mahjong tiles; and in less time than said staff pick itself…

Anyways, If anyone has ideas to make the CJK characters in the mahjong tiles more readable, I'm all ears as many of them aren't very legible right now… (preferably at a 7x9 size so they fit)

P.S. when installing new versions of the font, make sure to uninstall any old versions of the font before doing so.

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 11th december 2025

Thank you for your elaborate answer. The links are very helpful.

What is your quest? Do you want to recreate all assigned characters of Unicode 17.0, including the tens of thousands of CJK characters? That is 159,866 characters at present, and the number may increase with each new version of Unicode. I'm just curious.

Comment by Frodo7 12th december 2025

@Frodo7 The glyph limit of 65,535 already prevents that from happening in a single font file.

I don't have plans on doing the scripts that require OpenType features to get working correctly and/or requires the use of combining characters (Arabic, Devanagari, Bengali, etc.), or CJK because too many characters, or Cuneiform or Hieroglyphs because too detailed and too many characters.

So most likely the remaining symbols, mathematical operators, arrows, and dingbats in Unicode.

P.S. You can find symbols for square roots with 0-9 in the Private Use Area so you can make stuff like ¹²√(7¹⁹) look more nice

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 12th december 2025

10k glyphs?! how are you that fast lol

anyway, do you plan to add southeast asian scripts? (such as thai, khmer, etc.)

Comment by Unevensett2K26 (dhdhdhdhdhdhhdhddh) 17th december 2025

Thai and Khmer fall under the category of scripts that require OpenType features to get working correctly and/or requires the use of combining characters, so I don't think I can do either here.

But I do have plans on making expansions to the enclosed alphanumerics in the Private Use Area.

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 17th december 2025

this looks like similar to pixicraft because some glyphs are similar to it

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 19th december 2025

The background in the above sample is a sample of glyphs from the font in random sizes, colors, and orientations.

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 19th december 2025

the fact that there are >39 in the same orientation and in white is improbable...

Comment by lvqille Sat, 20th december

i will give this font a 10/10, but the only problem here is this font doesn’t support combining characters

Comment by Unevensett2K26 (dhdhdhdhdhdhhdhddh) Sat, 20th december

@lvqille That text is not part of the background in the sample.

@dhdhdh FontStruct doesn't support the mark/mkmk features, so text with combining marks might look a bit off in some software.

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) Sat, 20th december

since this font has almost 13,000+ glyphs, will you try to surpass pixel sans?

Comment by Unevensett2K26 (dhdhdhdhdhdhhdhddh) Sun, 21st december

Darn. That's crazy! Wish mine could compare.

Comment by Maxi (Maxi_K) Sun, 21st december

@BWM i know, i said it as a joke

Comment by lvqille Sun, 21st december

when will you update this font?

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) Wed, 31st december

Can you add Vai

Comment by ctcg_ Sat, 3rd january

when will you update this font? you haven’t completed yi syllables yet

Comment by Unevensett2K26 (dhdhdhdhdhdhhdhddh) Wed, 25th february

request: unified canadian aboriginal syllabics

Comment by Unevensett2K26 (dhdhdhdhdhdhhdhddh) Tue, 3rd march

can you do tolong siki? it does not require combining characters nor opentype features.

Comment by Unevensett2K26 (dhdhdhdhdhdhhdhddh) Thu, 12th march

can you add unifon? i’m pretty sad because this font doesn’t update frequently unlike before...

Comment by Bargewaxen2K26 (Unevensett-backup) Wed, 1st april

Unifon is not fully encoded in Unicode.

Development of another font outside FontStruct kind of slowed things down here.

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) Thu, 2nd april

nope, too late: it says "today, 3:47 am" (i am in CEST timezone)

Mekig? Try 7 : 12 Serif

Comment by Miguel Pereira Gil (Miguel Gil) Thu, 14th may
