Summary: Request Double-Hyphen Sign
Product: DejaVu
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: General
AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: marvin.hankley at googlemail.com
Hi!
I'm in the middle of working on a digitisation project of some German texts
and I've noticed that the double hyphen glyph (U+2E17) is not included in
the DejaVu fonts. Would it be possible to include such a glyph?
The double hyphen is similar to an equals sign, basically two hyphens above
each other. In order to distinguish it from an equals sign, it is often
slanted upwards to the right. Wikipedia has a page on it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_hyphen
It could probably be added quite quickly for someone familiar with font
tools (unfortunately, I'm not) by copying the equal sign then shearing the
glyph slightly upwards to the right.
Kind thanks,
Marvin Hankley
