[mpeg-OTspec] OFF Font variations Working Draft for review

[David Lemon]

As a former newspaper man I was raised on the Chicago Manual of Style, so no surprise there.
Thanks,

Re this:

“Clause 5.2.7.3: … And while there, you can put spaces around the en dash.”

David Lemon pointed out to me offline that recommended typographic conventions do not put spaces around en dash. Chicago Manual of Style provides corroborating support for that. But MS Word has for eons been autoformatting “ -- ” as en dash. In this case, I’m willing to follow the advice of COM and David Lemon.

A few comments:

Clause 4.5: “OFF fonts containing CFF or CFF2 data should use the tag 'OTTO' for sfntVersion number.” Delete “number”.

Clause 5.2.7.3: “Only values from 1–999 are valid.” Make the range 1 to 1000. And while there, you can put spaces around the en dash.

Clause 5.2.9.4: “The version makes it possible…” Change to “This version makes it possible…”

Clause 5.3.3.1.2:
“The bit WE_HAVE_A_TWO_BY_TWO allows for linear transformation of the X and Y coordinates by specifying a 2 × 2 matrix. This could be used for 90-degree rotations of the glyph components, for example.”

Change the start of the second sentence: “This could be used for scaling and 90-degree rotations…”

Dear AHG members,

Thank you and best regards,

Dear AHG members,

Please see attached the Working Draft of the 4th edition ISO/IEC 14496-22. This draft incorporates all the changes introduced by prior amendments to 3rd edition text, and also includes the changes proposed and discussed at the last MPEG meeting in Chengdu.

My apologies for the delay in publishing the document for your review. Apparently, MS Word doesn’t like editing 700+ page document while tracking significant number of changes at the same time, and it crashed at some point of editing process. As a result, I ended up with a corrupt Word file and had to revert to one of the earlier stable versions, accepted the changes I already made, and started with a clean document to make and track additional changes. This is why you will find three files included as part of the attached zip file:

-          w16427-14496-22_WD1-redline1 – includes all tracked changes made prior to crash;

-          w16427-14496-22_WD1-redline2 – includes all tracked changes post-crash, and

-          w16427-14496-22_WD1-clean is a final result of the editing process and includes the complete clean text of the OFF 4th edition WD.

Please review the documents and provide your comments. If there are any corrections we need to make or if there are additional changes to consider, please submit them for discussion on this list and as input contributions for the next MPEG meeting in January 2017. The deadline for submitting an input contribution is Jan. 10, 2017.

Thank you and Happy Holidays!
Vladimir
