Describe your bug report or feature request here
I am making a translation of Aseprite but it seems that the default font does not have the following characters: ċ, Ċ, Ġ, ġ, Ħ, ħ, ż, Ż

Aseprite and System version

Any

Can you please add these 8 characters?

Thanks!

[DimensionalSpace]

Is the lack of Cyrillic in Aseprite's font considered a bug?

[dacap]

I have an extended version of the font with Cyrillic characters, but still a lot of Unicode chars to fix (or support for non-continuous range of Unicode chars must be added for the sprite sheet fonts). Something I have to work on in a near future.

[DimensionalSpace]

So when will they be added?

@dacap
Can I do it? I know how to use fontforge, I just need the directory of the file.

@dacap and… Should we expect this in 1.3.0?

Hi there! This issue is always in my mind, recently I opened the font to continue working but wasn't able to make big progress. I'll try to make some progress today and tomorrow which was casually my plan.

@dacap it seems to me that the Cyrillic alphabet looks unfinished in places, as an example, extra spaces, characters that are lower than others.

Hi @ElderlyGlek, the font is not yet finished and it will be a work-in-progress for some time, it'll take some iterations to do the adjustments. For other issues you find w/the font I'd highly recommend you to create a new issue specifically with all the problems.

About that some characters that look lower than others, it's because the 7px of height is not enough to fit, in your case, the alternative could be this:

If it looks good enough, I can update the font for the next release.

Anyway I recommend you to create a new issue if you find a set of problems with the font.

@dacap editing the font turned out to be easy, so I can offer my own version of the corrected characters to make your work easier.
