v2.3.12
This is a patch release in the 2.3.x release line that improves the bundled fonts and fixes an issue we thought we had licked, but came back from the dead.
The key fix of this release is to, once and for all, fix the creeping margin on pages in the index when media=prepress. If the index term fell right on a page boundary, the indentation would get reset at the page transition, which would cause the margin to shift to the left by the same amount. The indentation is now preserved so that this doesn't happen.
This release also adds the most commonly used combining characters to the bundled prose fonts, which can be used to support characters written using the decomposed normalized form (NFD) of Unicode. Most notably, this includes smallcaps letters that have a diacritical mark, such as an accent. (Note that support for the smallcaps transformation on lowercase letters containing a diacritical mark (e.g., é) will be deferred until the next major release for compatibility reasons).
