<p class=MsoNormal>Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The purpose of this email is to kick off the activity of the
ad-hoc group and to update you on the results of the last MPEG meeting. As you
know, we had a Call for Proposals issued for Composite Font standard, and two
proposals were submitted for consideration by the MPEG Committee at the last
meeting on October 10-15. Both proposals (one from Apple inc. based on the
Apple Spliced Font Format, and the joint proposal from Apple and Adobe with
Spliced Font Format extensions) were accepted, and the Working Draft of the
future standard was prepared. One of the requirements of the Call for Proposals
was to provide the full description of the proposed technology – this requirement
was partially satisfied by the proposal submissions; however, the original
proposers have agreed to provide the needed additional information if the
proposals are accepted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The mandate of this AHG is to finalize the Working Draft of
the Composite Font Representation document before the next MPEG meeting in
January 2011. I uploaded the working draft to the AHG file repository, and the
document can be downloaded using the following URL:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would like to ask all group members and the original contributors
of the proposed technical solutions to review the prepared Working Draft and to
provide the missing details. If necessary, the conference call can be scheduled
to discuss the technical and editorial work items.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you and best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
