The Chess Merida Unicode TrueType font

47 | 48 | 49 | 50 |

Introduction

51 | 52 | 53 |

Chess Merida Unicode is a TrueType font that was first designed by Armando Hernandez Marroquin in February 5, 1998. This package 54 | contains a new version of that font, with the major difference that the glyphs are now mapped to Unicode to allow portable usage in 55 | HTML. Actually I created this version so that it can be used along with the HTMLTTChess 56 | script, a javascript I wrote to ease writing of chessboard positions in HTML.

57 |

The font is renamed to Chess Merida Unicode in order to avoid confusion with the previous versions since the mapping Unicode is 58 | not compatible with the previous versions.

59 | 60 | 61 |

Using the Chess Merida Unicode font with HTMLTTChess

62 | 63 | 64 |

It is critical to use the version provided here to view chessboards generated by 65 | HTMLTTChess. Besides being remapped to Unicode, this version contains 66 | additional glyphs needed for the rendering of color chessboards. For this, either the font must be installed on the client, or 67 | delivered to the font via CSS webfonts.

History and license information

71 | 72 | 73 |

Armando Hernandez Marroquin released the font as freeware, so obviously this new version is freeware as well. 74 | I hope you'll find this version useful.

Of course, all credits 76 | related to the beauty of the fonts should go to Armando Hernandez Marroquin. If interested, 77 | you can find other fonts from him here.

Keymap

152 | 153 | 154 |

This is the complete keymap for the Chess Merida Unicode font. The coding conventions for the keymap are:

155 |
    156 |
  • Mapping to existing Unicode character whenever possible (Chess symbol, full block...)
    157 | Exception for the Full Block character that is not correctly renderered in IE5.x and IE6.x.
    • 158 |
  • Mapping to Private Use Area (End User Subarea) otherwise: 159 |
      160 |
    • xE000-xE0FF board symbols on light square (for B&W and color rendering).
      161 | This section is empty in this version since all symbols are mapped to existing Unicode character.
      • 162 |
    • xE100-xE1FF board symbols on dark square (for B&W rendering).
      • 163 |
    • xE200-xE2FF enveloppe of board symbols (for color rendering).
      • 164 |
    • xE300-xE3FF Border drawing (for B&W rendering).
      • 165 |
    • xE400-xE4FF Other symbols.
      • 166 |
    167 |
    • 168 |
169 |

Highlighted glyphs are new in the last version.
