We need to create a new version of Ahem font
I’m happy to do this. I can probably have it done pretty soon, too.
Wonderful!
I think the glyphs we need are:
1. Copy the 'X' glyph (1em black square) to the following characters:
一二三四五六七八九十〇囗火水木金土
U+4E00 U+4E8C U+4E09 U+56DB U+4E94 U+516D U+4E03 U+516B U+4E5D
U+5341 U+3007 U+56D7 U+706B U+6C34 U+6728 U+91D1 U+571F
This will allow for basic tests to be constructed with upright CJK codepoints.
(We could probably get away with just 水 and 囗, but I figure we may as well
go with all the digits, a square-like glyph, and the five elements.)
2. Create a glyph that is a 20% centered vertical stripe and another that's a
20% centered horizontal stripe, both within a 1em square advance.
Assign the horizontal stripe to
'Χ' U+03A7
'横' U+6A2A
and the vertical one to
'Υ' U+03A5
'纵' U+7EB5
This will make it easy to create CSS tests for upright/sideways orientation.
(The comprehensive testing of TR50 data would need to be done with a much
bigger font, one with a different design than Ahem. But this will help us
for the CSS aspects of orientation.)
