OpenType, the current font standard, was developed in 1996 _and has a hard limit of 64k glyphs_. Way to future-proof, guys.
@nothings But that's just _another_ mistake, right... it's like compounding failure with more failure.

@cmuratori No, it's not a compounding. You can say *Unicode* was foolish and wrong and I have no problem with that.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori But given Unicode being 64K chars, no point to supporting >64K chars in a font if there's no way to express more than 64K chars. -
@nothings Why does Unicode have anything to do with it? A font file is just a collection of glyphs. You should even support multiple maps. - Show replies
