If you have already downloaded a tarball version of the fonts and only want to upgrade to a newer release, you can use xdelta to apply binary patches.
Xdeltas of the fonts are in http://debian.linux.org.tw/pub/3Anoppix/people/arne/xdeltas/
- For upgrading between releases download the xdelta file from the corresponding subdirectory. (Example: 0.0.20041031-1_0.0.20041205-1/)
Windows users can visit http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~ejones/software/xdelta-win32.html
Then put your tar.gz pagage of the old font and the downloaded xdelta file into a temporary directory and use:
xdelta patch
(without the <> of course).
These pdf files show which glyphs are already encoded (Size: 35 MB each):
Xdelta files are in http://debian.linux.org.tw/pub/3Anoppix/people/arne/xdeltas/pdf/The font packages contain two variants of the font, which only differ in the Bopomofo Extended glyphs. These glyphs are mainly used in Taiwan for teaching Taiwanese and Hakka. There exist two varaints of those glyphs, one according to the Unicode standard and one, called Modern Bopomofo Extensions (MBE), which has been developed by Mr. Yang Qing-Chu (楊青矗). The MBE variants are considered easier to read and write.
To get a picture how those glyphs differ:
- Bopomofo Extensions according to Unicode 4.0
- Modern Bopomofo Extensions according to Mr. Yang Qing-Chu (楊青矗)
The TTF in the font packages contains both variants already, the Unicode variant is the default. The MBE variant is encoded seperately as stylistic alternative to the Unicode variant. If your application supports this, you can choose which variant you want to see there.
If your applications don't support the stylistic alternatives feature, you can patch the TTF file with the xdelta file included in the tarball. To do this, copy the TTF file and the xdelta file into a temporary directory and use the xdelta command like shown above. You can also install both variants in parallel.
