Add missing hieroglyph u16

[nataliakeniganti]

[Mercury13]

The author of request PROMISED TO release his font. I don’t see it for now, so draw for yourself if you want.

1. Size — any but consistent.
2. Source — always specified, whether you drew it for yourself or took elsewhere.

[nataliakeniganti]

Working commit Fonts/UnicodiaHiero.ttf and Fonts-source/Egyptian/UnicodiaHiero.ttf

[Mercury13]

Yes, I WAS working on transferring at least something into Unicode.
Not 4000, but 2900, from JSesh.
Stumbled on real problems: IDK how to auto-check correctness.
Need boolean operations with curves ELSEWHERE: FontForge constantly confuses direction.

[nataliakeniganti]

Correct new gardiner next version 2.10
Add label new unicode.

[Mercury13]

Correct new gardiner next version 2.10 Add label new unicode.

We call it “divide bear’s pelt before killing”. Or “cook a hare before catching” in English.
NewGardiner WAS my backup font when dozens of characters were wrong.
All work on Noto to bring U15.1 was MINE: I drew, Daniel Werning checked.

[Mercury13]

I periodically check if someone releases those 4 thousand. No fools :(

[Mercury13]

Calm down, lady! They are absent EVERYWHERE!

[nataliakeniganti]

start in november 12 and december-2024

[Mercury13]

Calm down! It’s better to check: how to import e.g. JSesh.

[nataliakeniganti]

Unicode block is not done

[nataliakeniganti]

Add invalid label

[Mercury13]

Natalia, I’m thinking what to do, but 2900 random characters (out of 4000) is not what we expect from Unicodia.
All Egyptian fonts have murky licensing rules.

[Mercury13]

Tried to auto-fix 100 SVGs.
14 of them the machinery is unable to fix, reasons are.
Curves touch in one point due to sloppy editing: 2
Curves form a negative angle, and the system is unable to fix it due to roundoff errors: 4
Curves touch in one point intentionally:
… eye: 3
…flat object + smth else: 3
Unclassified artifacts (unintended intersections, round-off errors, etc): 3
(one SVG falls into two categories simultaneously)
So from 3000 SVGs I’ll probably need 450 hand-edited.

[Mercury13]

Cache contains 63 files. It means: out of 100, my software helped with 49 and failed with 14.
I managed to remove unclassified artifacts in one SVG, leaving negative angle only.

[Mercury13]

More work, 11 left
Curves unintentionally touch in one point due to sloppy editing: 2 (UNFIXABLE with machinery)
Curves form a negative angle, and the system is unable to fix it due to roundoff errors: 1 (maybe fixable)
Curves intentionally touch in one point:
…eye: 3 (IDK how to auto-fix)
…flat object + smth else: 3 (same)
Big self-intersection machinery unable to erase: 1 (UNFIXABLE with machinery)
Intersection between two curves so small that Inkscape sees nothing, and FontForge’s UI glitches: 1 (UNFIXABLE with machinery)

[Mercury13]

Again, ≈330 glyphs is still much

[nataliakeniganti]

Started hieroglyphs

[Mercury13]

Ran script on the entire directory. Actually 226 hieroglyphs are left for hand-editing.

[Mercury13]

Just a few hand-edited out of 200. 1070 tofu.

[nataliakeniganti]

Replace wontfix label to new unicode.

[nataliakeniganti]

Add missing 44 tofu glyphs

[Mercury13]

Where to find them?
I repeat, there’ll be 1070 tofu out of 3995.

[Mercury13]

Want to help? Have Inkscape skills?
Download Unikemet base and JSesh, and start modifying.
If a character in Unikemet has a JSesh ID → IT’S ALREADY PRESENT, but you may take it as a base for other chars.
Work only on characters WITHOUT JSesh ID.
Sizes don’t matter, font’s quality is initially sloppy.
Meanwhile I’ll address all issues of my automation, and turn Tulu demo font to working.

[nataliakeniganti]

Do 1070 tofu hieros

[Mercury13]

My log now shows 134 problem SVGs. 90 are fixed by hand now.

[Mercury13]

The most common problems that need human’s intervention:
• curves marginally intersect, so Inkscape does not register intersection, and FontForge does
• curves intentionally touch. Not really a problem but FontForge raises an alarm
• curves form a very acute negative angle (−5…0°), so Inkscape sees intersection, but my script fails to fix
• misc. glitches, probably by FontForge’s Simplify: e.g. saw two straights turned to wild curves

Fix hand drawn 1070 tofu glyphs

[Mercury13]

@nataliakeniganti Calm down, lady! Before 1070 totally missing, I need to fix 230 glitchy. Then turn demo Tulu font to working (open Noto Sans Tai Tham with editor, I’ll do roughly the same).
To make 1070 glyphs, I need to TECHNOLOGIZE them: ≈70% are people. I need a construction kit that quickly makes a hieroglyph. Maybe you’ll help instead of hurrying?

[nataliakeniganti]

Add missing 1070 tofu glyphs

[Mercury13]

At least sucked all data I have.

[Mercury13]

Four nights of hard work. JSesh sucked, no major tech problems, but only partly checked.
Hieroglyphica stores data in local FireBird DB, ad IDK how to even check it. I suspect hieroglyphs are in bitmap format (Hieroglyphica is from Novosibirsk, and Delphi was highly popular in xUSSR, and FireBird is theirs going open-source).
I don’t even know who performs centreline bitmap tracing (rather than traditional outline).
The first glyph, 13460=A1F, even has no links to external bases.
Maybe I’ll draw seven hieros above the fold and switch to Tulu?

[Mercury13]

I’ll make seven hieros “above the fold” (1 found at JSesh, 4 done, 3 to go), and stop.

[nataliakeniganti]

I’ll make seven hieros “above the fold” (1 found at JSesh, 4 done, 3 to go), and stop.

do 1066 tofu hieroglyphs

[Mercury13]

@nataliakeniganti
I use a button for selected item in table, mostly for the lack of anything better.

Please make a screenshot of table…

Probably that’s the cause of #414, but you refuse to work together.

[nataliakeniganti]

Add more 1060 hieros

[Mercury13]

Sorry, NO. I’ll do ≈10/week, but PLEASE READ what YOU can do for me.

[nataliakeniganti]

Calm down lady wait the 1060 hieros
