Report on all the glyphs with multiple unicode encodings
Description of problem:
There are several glyphs which are mapped to more than one Unicode encoding at
the same time. These glyphs inhibit automated subsetting because it is not easy
to delete just one encoding slot without deleting both (as they share the same
glyph object). See the attachment for a listing of these glyphs.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liberation-fonts-2.00.0
Expected results:
Ideally these cases should use a glyph reference where stroke information must
be shared.
Additional info:
These glyphs are identified by looking at the alternate unicode encodings
property of the glyphs. If using the Python scripting to FontForge, look at the
'altuni' member of the glyph. Also each glyph object for each encoding slot
should be a separate object. For example in the regular serif font:
>> font = fontforge.open('LiberationSerif-Regular.sfd')
>> font[0xfb01]
<fontforge.glyph object at 0x7fdf4387d688>
>> font[0xf001]
<fontforge.glyph object at
0x7fdf4387d688>
Notice how the glyph object id is identical for both U+FB01 and U+F001.
