[mpeg-OTspec] AHG on Open Font Format kick-off

[Sairus Patel]

Greetings.

 

A revised version of the LTR and RTL proposal for OT 1.6 has been
uploaded:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpeg-OTspec/files/ltr_rtl_ProposalFor
OFF_rev2.doc

 

This differs from version 1 (i.e. the version incorporated into the
current draft text) only in that the OMPL.txt file is not needed -- the
text layout engine simply refers to Unicode's Bidi Mirroring Glyph
Property instead of the OMPL.txt file.

 

(The OMPL.txt is identical to Unicode 5.1's Bidi Mirroring Glyph
Property.) 

 

We shall be discussing this Monday next week (Vladimir has sent out the
details on how to participate.)

 

Best,

Sairus

Subject: [mpeg-OTspec] AHG on Open Font Format kick-off

 

Dear all,

 

I just uploaded the draft text of FCD of the ISO/IEC 14496-22 (2nd
edition) "Open Font Format" specification, and would like to announce
the official kick-off of the AHG OFF. The AHG will remain active until
87th meeting of SC29/WG11 in January 2009.

 

The AHG mandate is as follows:

1.	To review the new features and corrections proposed in the
ballot comments and make sure that the proposed changes made in the text
of the 2nd edition of ISO/EC 14496-22/FCD can be implemented without an
adverse effect on backward compatibility.
2.	To review the text of ISO/IEC 14496-22/FCD (2nd edition), make
sure that all the new functionality is properly documented, and to
provide recommendations if new changes in the text and any additional
clarifications are necessary.

I would like to ask you to review the draft text and to provide your
comments you find that changes ("Track Changes" is on) made in the text
of the specification may in any way affect existing fonts and/or font
rendering and text layout implementations. Any suggestions that are
editorial in nature and would improve the readability and clarity of the
specification are welcome and very much appreciated. 

 

Technical comments (if any) can be discussed on the email reflector;
however, I would like to propose to have a conference call on September
8 to discuss all changes and proposed clarifications (Please note - the
deadline for submission of this document is September 12, 2008). I will
send you the detailed conference call information in a separate email.

 

The draft can be accessed using the following link:

Thank you and best regards,

Vladimir
