[mpeg-OTspec] script tags update

[Peter Constable]

Windows 10 is not yet aware of the Unicode 8 or 9 script tags (Unicode 8 since Windows 10 shipped just before Unicode 8 was released). Of course, there will be updates, though I can’t yet comment on timeframes.

Peter,
Is USE under Windows 10 already aware of these new script tags? If not, is there a plan for an update?
Thanks,

Kamal

Vlad, and others:

In anticipation of Unicode 9, we’ve updated the table of script tags in the OpenType Layout tag registry with Unicode 9 additions. Also, somehow we had overlooked updating that page last year for Unicode 8, so those additional script tags got added as well. The page is now completely up to date for Unicode 9.

https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/scripttags.htm

It would be good to have these reflected in the next update to 14496-22. I wouldn’t expect any inconsistencies between this and what is currently in 14496-22, but please take a look and let me know if you see any issues.


Thanks
Peter
