Variant request swash for bdhkpr, mirror ear/tail of i, j, no ear capital J, no-descender Q with straight leg, M and W with strokes meeting baseline/capital line respectively, zZ with horizontal dash

[pagerc]

Variety of variant requests.

Swash tails (maybe ears too?) for bdhkpr:

We have swash tails for i, j, q, u, and y so this is extending the supported characters with lower-case swash tails.

Mirror ear/tail of i and j:

No ear capital on J:

No-descender Q with straight leg:

Provides the option to have all capitals with no-descenders.

M and W with interior strokes meeting baseline and capital line respectively:

Horizontal dash on lower/capital zZ:

Option to set variants for z and Z to same symbol used for; U+01B5 Ƶ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH STROKE and U+01B6 ƶ LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH STROKE.
ƶƵ
Per this discussion:
#595

Bonus (D with dash (requested elsewhere, included here for completeness of unicode variant for ASCII subset)

Option to set variant for D to same symbol used for; U+0110 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH STROKE.
Đ

Bonus (two-more 4 variants):

---

Justification:
The swash options are for stylistic choices by users.
The no-descender Q resolves an inconsistency amongst the current capital letters.
Design option for M/W to be full height across body.
Horizontal dash is preferred over slanted mark
Bonus requests!

I'd like to reject the following requests:

• Swashes
• D as Đ
• Mirrored i/j.

Swashes are very uncommon in programming / technical fonts, and I do not see any other coding font that is not casual styled contain swashes. The Mirrored i/j also falls into this category.
“D as Đ” will create too many confusions, since it is the capital form of three different letters (ð, đ and ɖ).

OK, all justified variants are added. Closing this.
