[mpeg-OTspec] regarding Adobe document "Unicode and,Glyph Names"

[Levantovsky, Vladimir]

Thank you Bob!
All, if I don’t receive any objections to this proposal, I will update the Bibliography reference to include the link to sourceforge.net (Open @ Adobe project) reference in the next revision of the working draft.

Also, please note that the current plan is to finalize the working draft and promote it to the next Committee Draft stage at the next MPEG meeting in the end of July, so we have only about four weeks left to make changes and corrections. Further changes will be possible via National Body ballot comments.

Regards,
Vlad

Subject: [mpeg-OTspec] regarding Adobe document "Unicode and,Glyph Names"



In Section 7 "Recommendations for OFF fonts", of ISO/IEC 14496-22 (2009, which I think is the latest), I read:
'post' table
All information required, although the VM Usage fields may be set to zero. OFF fonts containing CFF outlines
use only format 3.0 of the 'post' table. Glyph names are described in the Adobe document "Unicode and
Glyph Names" in the informative reference 3 in the bibliography,...

Reference 3 in the bibliography says:

[3] Adobe Glyph List - http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/opentype/glyphlist.txt

which (a) is not the expected Adobe document "Unicode and Glyph Names" and worse (b) is a link to a file which is NOT the recommended glyph naming set for new fonts.

Searching Adobe site for an article called "Unicode and Glyph Names", I find one in the archives:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/opentype/archives/glyph.html
and a very similar one, perhaps identical except for title, at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyph.html#6

I note that both of these are redirects which include "archive" in their URL, so unlikely to be current.

I believe that, via the Open @ Adobe project, the desired document and the subsidiary AGL and AGLFN glyph lists are now maintained on sourceforge, specifically at:
http://sourceforge.net/adobe/aglfn/wiki/AGL%20Specification/

Can we get the reference updated, please?

Regards,
Bob Hallissy
