New in Quivira 4.0 (Dec 14, 2013)

  • Changes:
  • From now on, Quivira is provided as an OpenType font instead of TrueType. There should be no obvious changes when you use Quivira¹, but the OpenType format provides more possibilities and is needed for the new features (which were not possible in a TrueType font).
  • Combining Diacritical Marks are now placed correctly on many base letters in the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic script and in the IPA.
  • In the four Philippine scripts Tagalog, Hanunoo, Buhit and Tagbanwa the combinations of base consonants and vowel sign now all work correctly.
  • Several fixes and improvements on existing characters (thanks to Rainer Seitel for pointing them out).
  • New characters:
  • Currency Symbols: 1 new character (Turkish Lira Sign)
  • CJK Symbols and Punctuation: 8 new characters
  • Enclosed CJK Letters and Months: 1 new character (Korean Standard Symbol)
  • Private Use Area: Alphanumeric Supplement: 38 new characters
  • Private Use Area: Partially Enclosed Alphanumerics-A and -B: 261 new characters (some of them for elliptical international vehicle registration codes, proposed by Daniel Buncic)
  • Private Use Area: Control Pictures Supplement: 5 new characters
  • Specials: 3 new characters
  • Miscellanous Symbols and Pictographs: 2 new characters (thumbs up and thumbs down)
