Files
-----
font.kicad_sym        - main glyph library in KiCAD library format
symbol.kicad_sym      - glyph library for most math, tech and other symbols
CJK_symbol.kicad_sym  - CJK symbols
CJK_wide.kicad_sym    - CKJ characters
katakana.kicad_sym    - Japanese script
hiragana.kicad_sym    - Japanese script
half_full.kicad_sym   - U+FF00 half- and full-width forms
charlist.txt          - unicode glyph map list
fontconv.py           - 'compiling' .kicad_sym files to C source used by KiCAD
../../common/newstroke_font.cpp
                      - C source with the font, generated by fontconv.py

Other Files
-----------
old/*.lib             - the fonts that were originally used to generate .kicad_sym files

Python 3.10 or newer - for font generation

Usage
-----
* Edit glyps with KiCAD 6 or newer EESchema library editor.
* Add/modify Unicode positions to charlist.
* Generate font using following command line:
