Code2000

Code2000 is a <a href="/facts/Serif_font/Ef9KtHfp">serif</a> and pan-<a href="/facts/Unicode_typefaces/Br34KXKc">Unicode digital font</a>, which includes <a href="/facts/Grapheme/uzXGIsAr">characters</a> and symbols from a very large range of <a href="/facts/Writing_system/ABG251A0">writing systems</a>. As of the current version 1.176 released in 2023, Code2000 is designed and implemented by James Kass to include as much of the <a href="/facts/Unicode/DDu3MfPV">Unicode 15.1 standard</a> as practical (with 15.1 being the currently-released version), and to support <a href="/facts/OpenType/u0BfkC5I">OpenType</a> digital typography features. Code2000 supports the <a href="/facts/Basic_Multilingual_Plane/TATj3rUP">Basic Multilingual Plane</a>. Code2001 was designed to support the <a href="/facts/Supplementary_Multilingual_Plane/TATj3rUP">Supplementary Multilingual Plane</a>, with <a href="/facts/ISO_8859-1/xPNVSEE6">ISO 8859-1</a> characters shared with Code2000 for compatibility. A third font, Code2002, was left substantially unfinished and never officially released.
Code2000 was released as <a href="/facts/Shareware/TAhIvJXt">shareware</a>/<a href="/facts/Donationware/um78Gk98">donationware</a>, with the licensing fee set at $5.00. Code2001 was released under a <a href="/facts/Free_software_license/BACv1rju">free software license</a> that prohibited most <a href="/facts/Derivative_work/nuXSQKLp">derivative works</a> but otherwise allowed free use, redistribution and <a href="/facts/Font_embedding/CpMx3JQ8">embedding</a>. The project was discontinued in 2008, with its web domain name later taken by an Australian <a href="/facts/Computer_programming/QmSsFnu0">programming</a> site.
On September 13, 2023, after 15 years of inactivity, Kass relaunched the project and began work on updating the fonts.
