[MPEG-OTSPEC] Meeting report, new mandates and documents for review

[Vladimir Levantovsky]

Dear all,

 

The text of the new, 5th edition Working Draft of ISO/IEC 14496-22 "Open
Font Format" is now available for public review. You can download it using
the following link:
https://www.mpeg.org/wp-content/uploads/mpeg_meetings/137_OnLine/w21212.zip

This document contains all changes implemented by two prior amendments
(ISO/IEC 14496-22_AMD1:2020, and changes that are being implemented by
ISO/IEC 14496-22_DAM2, currently under ballot), and proposed CFF2 updates. I
encourage you to review the document and prepare input contributions to
suggest further changes, if any.

 

Thank you,

Vladimir

Subject: Meeting report, new mandates and documents for review

 

Dear AHG members,

 

Our mandates, established at the last SC29/WG3 (MPEG Systems) meeting
<https://www.mpegstandards.org/wp-content/uploads/mpeg_meetings/137_OnLine/w
21352.zip>  are as follows:

1. Review the text of ISO/IEC CD 14496-22 Draft International Standards
amendment 2 and submit ballot comments, if applicable.

2. Review publicly available WG3 output documents and propose additional
changes and updates.

3. Explore potential future changes and updates, and propose new items (if
applicable) for consideration in the 5th edition of the OFF specification.

 

Please note:

1. The text of the 2nd amendment has been published under ballot after it
was promoted to the Draft International Standard stage [in October 2021],
and the ballot is still open (until April 8, 2022). Both editorial changes
and minor technical corrections can still be introduced as ballot comments,
which you can submit for discussion in this AHG or submit them directly to
ISO Secretariat via your National Body.

 

2. At the last meeting, the proposed CFF2 updates were discussed and
approved, and following this group's recommendation, the WG3 has approved
the creation and publication of the new, 5th edition Working Draft of
ISO/IEC 14496-22 OFF. The full version of the WD won't be available for some
time since it requires merging of the 4th edition text with two prior
amendments; however, the text of the proposed CFF2 updates has been made
available for public review as a standalone document "Technology under
consideration for OFF" and can be downloaded from public MPEG website:
https://www.mpegstandards.org/wp-content/uploads/mpeg_meetings/137_OnLine/w2
1213.zip. (All publicly available documents, including the 5th edition WD,
will be posted there as well:
https://www.mpegstandards.org/meetings/mpeg-137/.)

 

3. Our third mandate remains unchanged. The 5th edition WD offers an
opportunity to conduct a full review of the OFF text and introduce both
technical and editorial changes following the established ISO process. There
is no urgency in finalizing the 5th edition text - we are encouraged to
explore potential future changes and updates and submit them for discussion
both in this AHG and in the future WG3 meetings.

 

Thank you,

Vladimir
