<p class=MsoNormal>Dear fellow AHG members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am pleased to announce that the “Call for Proposals”
[1] and “Requirements and Use cases for Composite Font Standard” [2]
have been approved by the ISO SC29/WG11 (MPEG) and are now published.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The AHG has a mandate to evaluate the submissions and
prepare a report. The submissions in response to the Call for Proposals (CFP) should
be made no later than October 6, 2010. Those who plan to make a submission
should consider the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Reponses to the Call for Proposals will be reviewed
upon submission by this AHG, and are expected to be presented to the general
audience at the AHG meeting on Sunday, October 10, 2010 (the day before the start
of the next MPEG meeting, which will be held October 11-15, 2010);<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>The next MPEG meeting will be held in Guangzhou, China.
Travel to China requires valid Chinese Visa – the meeting organizers will
provide an invitation letter for those individuals who need to obtain the visa.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>At the last MPEG meeting, the input contribution m17712 on
Apple’s Spliced Font Format was presented (see attachments to the AHG Report
[3]). The representative from Apple indicated that this contribution will be
used as the basis for their response to the Call for Proposals. During the AHG
exploration activities some AHG members proposed various extensions to Apple’s
Spliced Font Format. Since the responses to the CFP [1] can address all or any
subset of the requirements [2], the members of the AHG and general public may
wish to submit the Response to the CFP outlining their proposed extensions to
the format described in m17712. Please remember that those responding to the
Call for Proposals may be required to contribute a reference source code implementation
if the proposed technology is selected as part of the CFS development.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>According to the project timeline proposed in the AHG Report
[3], the Working Draft of the future Composite Font Standard is expected to be
prepared and finalized by the end of the next MPEG meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vladimir<o:p></o:p></p>
