nasin-nanpa-3 0 0

This wave of changes started when jan Sonja approached me about using nasin nanpa for su. She had a list of changes in mind for su's version of nasin nanpa, but I happen to like most of them, so I'm putting them in the main version of nasin nanpa as well. Here are (most of) the changes from Sonja:

  • Cartouches are now slightly rounder
  • sama is now a bit smaller
  • awen now has flat feet
  • supa's vertical lines are now farther apart
  • kasi now has ~~character~~ (is asymmetrical)
  • 4-legged akesi is now default; 6-legged is alternative 1
  • taso's stem is now straight and centered
  • alt lanpan is now the main one (old main is now the alt)
  • added support for owe glyph
  • added support alt mute glyph
  • made pini a bit narrower
  • jaki is now based off of pu jaki
  • supa now better vertically aligned
  • waso's left eye is now lined up with the vertical line
  • loje is now disconnected, like in pu
  • added support for su glyph
  • added support for lipamanka name glyph

After I had made most of Sonja's changes, I did something I've been wanting to do for a while now: fix the FontForge glyph slot alignment mess that nasin nanpa had become. To do this I dug into the FontForge .sfd file and used TONS of macros to lighten my very tedious work. The result however, was worth it:

  • all combo glyphs now work in cartouches and ligatures (and most look at least somewhat ok)
    Also, every glyph that can be is now a reference, so I'll have an easier time editing glyphs in the future.

lipamanka also gave me some notes that made it into this release (but not su, sadly):

  • kulupu kasi's outdated system glyph has been removed
  • musi is no longer based off of mu
  • kasi got a bit smaller
  • the uta radical in kalama is now smaller and more proportional
  • sona's box is now a bit rectangular (because its a lipu radical)
  • sama got a bit smaller
  • wile is now more circular (more based on pu, less on linja lipamanka)
  • jo got a bit thinner
  • all 4 suno lines are now visible in jelo
  • sewi got a bit shorter and more proportionally aesthetic
  • soweli's top body line doesn't go quite as far back as before

Big thanks to jan Juwan for being a 2nd pair of eyes for me while I made lots of these changes. They also had a few changes of their own that implemented:

  • laso's triangle now matches jelo and loje's
  • the half circle in uta is now smaller
  • the half circle in epiku is now smaller

Somewhere in there moku also got the updated uta radical size.

There are probably a few more changes I forgot to list here, but all in all this is a huge update, and I'm really excited to share it with everyone! Please do let me know if you find any bugs with this release (I'm etbcor everywhere -- discord is a good place to reach me). o pona!
