<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As a follow-up to my previous message (below), I have uploaded the first working draft text of the new, 3<sup>rd</sup> edition of the ISO/IEC 14496-22 “Open Font Format”. This text is based on the 2<sup>nd</sup>
edition text and includes all changes that were introduced by corrigendum and two amendments since the 2nf edition (ISO/IEC 14496-22:2009) was published. Please note that this is a red-line version of the working draft, with tracking changes “on”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I also made the changes related to Panose field of the OS/2 table (that we recently agreed on) removing the list of Panose property names and leaving only the reference to the Panose spec as the source for field
definition. The question to the group: should this change also trigger the change in OS/2 version number? My opinion is that it should not, since neither the actual format of the OS/2 data nor the semantics of the data encoded in the Panose field would be
affected by removing the explicit value definitions, especially taking into consideration that the majority of fonts out in the field have already set Panose values according to Panose 1.5. Would you agree? Comments?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would like to ask you to review the first draft text (which can be downloaded using this link:

also note that any future discussions and proposed changes/clarifications should be based on this working draft text. I would also like to encourage you to review the proposals that have already been submitted (which are summarized below) and voice your opinions

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear AHG members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With this kick-off message, I would like to announce the start of the new work on the 3<sup>rd</sup> edition of the ISO/IEC 14496-22 “Open Font Format” that was approved at the MPEG meeting last week. I will create a new working draft merging
the base document (previous 2<sup>nd</sup> edition version from 2009) with all changes that were introduced by amendments and corrigendum and will make the new text available for you to review and comment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would also like to ask you to start thinking about new features, functionality and clarifications that you would like to propose to improve the text of the standard. In particular, I would like us to review the proposals that have already
been submitted to this AHG in recent couple of years and discuss whether it would be reasonable and useful to incorporate them into the current working draft text. For this purpose, I have collected the references to member posts outlining newly proposed items
(my apologies if I missed any, please review and contribute your ideas):<o:p></o:p></p>
