For those of you in need of a BDF font containing glyphs useful for Unicode
text, for X11 or something else, version 1.5 of the ClearyU font is now
available.

  o This is a 12 point, 100dpi, proportional font.

  o Does not contain glyphs for Han, Hangul, Tibetan, or any of the Indic
     scripts.

  o Contains all the glyphs needed to minimally support the Arabic portions
     of Unicode. Does not contain the ARABIC PRESENTATION FORMS-A range
     (U+FB50-U+FDFF).

     NOTE: The Arabic glyphs are being replaced soon, so effort spent cleaning
     them up or changing them might be wasted.

  o Consists of 4120 glyphs at the moment.

This version has numerous improvements in spacing, some minor glyph shape
modifications (mostly fixing the Greek glyphs), and the addition of a small
handful of glyphs. Samples of text displayed using this font will appear on
some Web page, someday.

Any improvements or changes you wish to make are welcome, just let me know
about them!
