First a thank-you to all the people who have given me feedback on the preview #6 release of my Envy Code R font.

There were some reported problems which are now fixed:

• Unreadable mess in Java apps (Font2DTest, NetBeans). Removed unused bitmaps.
• Missing ]}) symbols in Java apps (NetBeans). Decomposed composite x-flipped glyphs for these only.
• Lack of variant choices or always bold (Windows, Mac, TextMate). Added missing style names.

I can understand the style choice, that was a simple oversight on my part, but why the Java renderer is attempting to use the bitmaps even in anti-aliased scenarios I just don't understand. The fact it doesn't like to render characters that are simply a flip of another one is also odd and while I have fixed it for ]}) by decomposing them there are many others which I have not. They are a real time-saver during the design phase and so I will leave the others as-is for now.

There are no design changes or new glyphs in this update but the next release should include more Greek characters and box-symbols (CP 437).
