Gen Interface JP v0.6.0 focuses on vertical writing. It fixes the visible baseline mismatch between Japanese and Latin text in vertical composition, and removes excess top / bottom space around Japanese glyphs that came from the scaling pipeline.

Vertical writing

  • Fixes baseline alignment between Japanese and Latin text in vertical writing.
  • Removes unnecessary top / bottom space from Japanese glyphs after 92.5% scaling, so vertical text uses the intended body size.
  • Applies the vertical metric fixes across both Gen Interface JP and Gen Interface JP Display, including merged glyphs that are renamed during collision handling.
  • Rebuilds with ofl-font-baker>=0.4.6, which fixes OpenType layout-table scaling for the 2048 UPM output used by the final fonts.
  • Keeps the existing ss09 yakumono support for vertical writing that was introduced in v0.5.0.

Spacing and weights

  • Updates Gen Interface JP's normal-family kana and Japanese punctuation tracking from +40 to +45 at 1000 UPM.
  • Adjusts the ExtraLight Japanese source axis to better match the Latin weight.
  • Keeps Gen Interface JP Display tracking unchanged.
