Re: [Freefont-bugs] Math Script normal/bold

[Steve White]

Hi Scletec,

In the previous release (2012) instead of bold handrwiting letters in
U+1D14D0-503, I put calligraphic letters.
It wasn't an accident -- I didn't have bold handwriting glyphs, but I
did have calligraphic letters, and nowhere to put them, because the
standard deoesn't supply a range.

In the current SVN, this is handled in a different way, and the
letters in U+1D14D0-503 are bold handwriting letters.

Thanks!
