[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#775141: fonts-wqy-microhei: a few missing / incorrectly drawn glyphs

[James Cowgill]

Package: fonts-wqy-microhei
Version: 0.2.0-beta-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

While doing some rendering of Shift-JIS portion of this entire font, I
found a few characters which are missing but probably should exist (so
it can be used to view Shift-JIS files). I also found a few characters
which are obviously wrong.

There's probably more than this, but here's what I found:

Missing
==
U+203E OVERLINE
U+2103 DEGREE CELSIUS
U+2119 DEGREE FARENHEIT
U+212B ANGSTROM SIGN
U+2164 ROMAN NUMERAL FIVE
U+2169 ROMAN NUMERAL TEN

Interestingly, all of these characters are actually valid blank glyphs
in the font file (rather than producing a question mark).

Incorrectly Drawn
===
U+00BD VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF
U+00BD VULGAR FRACTION THREE QUARTERS
U+215C VULGAR FRACTION THREE EIGHTHS

Thanks,
James
