[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#709805: Bug#709805: Bug#709805: task-chinese-t: missing glyphs in font set(s)

[Kess Vargavind]

Hello Toni (et al.),

𠀀 is available in, at least, the font HanaMinA [1] and
𠀅 is available in, at least, fonts such as HanaMinB [1] and IPAmjMincho
[2].

[1] fonts-hanazono
[2] fonts-ipamj-mincho

As for the three characters in the “Bopomofo extended” range, they were
added
in Unicode version 6.0, and support for them will probably come in the not
too
distant future. Lately we have had extremely good CJK coverage, rather fast.

Kind regards,
Kess
