26 Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega
|
Chris@909
|
27 typesetting system, <http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au/>. Omega is an
|
Chris@909
|
28 extension of TeX. Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's
|
Chris@909
|
29 multilingual abilities. In Omega all characters and pointers into
|
Chris@909
|
30 data-structures are 16-bit wide, instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating
|
Chris@909
|
31 many of the trivial limitations of TeX. Omega also allows multiple
|
Chris@909
|
32 input and output character sets, and uses programmable filters to
|
Chris@909
|
33 translate from one encoding to another, to perform contextual
|
Chris@909
|
34 analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode
|
Chris@909
|
35 standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not
|
Chris@909
|
36 only make it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or
|
Chris@909
|
37 complex languages, like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or
|
Chris@909
|
38 Korean, in one document, but will also form the basis for future
|
Chris@909
|
39 developments in other areas, such as native color support and
|
Chris@909
|
40 hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family) and UT2 (omah
|
Chris@909
|
41 family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript format
|
Chris@909
|
42 and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families. (from the

Chris@909
|
71 a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
|
Chris@909
|
72 Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are

Chris@909
|
73 written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into

Chris@909

74 Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji

Chris@909
|
86 Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols
|
Chris@909
|
87 designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the
|
Chris@909
|
88 documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The
|
Chris@909
|
89 Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts
|
Chris@909
|
90 for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,
|
Chris@909
|
91 etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX
|
Chris@909
|
92 fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times
|
Chris@909
|
93 fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of
|
Chris@909
|
94 that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."

308

Chris@909

309 Vyacheslav Dikonov made a braille unicode font that could be merged

Chris@909
|
310 with the UCS fonts to fill the 2800-28FF range completely. (uniform
|
Chris@909
|
311 scaling is possible to adapt it to any cell size). He also contributed
|
Chris@909
|
312 a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed
|
Chris@909
|
313 from the "Carlo Ator" font freely downloadable from
|
Chris@909
|
314 <http://www.aacf.asso.fr/>. Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing
|
Chris@909
|
315 spots in the U+2000-U+27FF area, e.g. the box drawing section, sets of
|
Chris@909
