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

|
|
|
66 |
|
|
|
67 |
Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together
|
|
|
68 |
a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
|
|
|
69 |
Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are
|
|
|
70 |
written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into
|
|
|
71 |
Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
|
|
|
72 |
Comittee has later been dismissed, and the resulting files can be now
|
|
|
73 |
found on the FTP server of the Depertment of Mathematical Engineering

* Young U. Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu>
|
|
|
82 |
|
|
|
83 |
Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols
|
|
|
84 |
designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the
|
|
|
85 |
documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The
|
|
|
86 |
Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts
|
|
|
87 |
for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,
|
|
|
88 |
etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX
|
|
|
89 |
fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times
|
|
|
90 |
fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of
|
|
|
91 |
that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."
|
|
|
92 |
TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license (GPL).

Jeroen Hellingman created a set of Malayalam metafonts in 1994, and a

modulated stroke. From private communication: "It is my intention to

In 2002, Maxim Iorsh started the Culmus project, aiming at providing
|
|
|
294 |
Hebrew-speaking Linux and Unix community with a basic collection of
|
|
|
295 |
Hebrew fonts for X Windows. The fonts are visually compatible with
|
|
|
296 |
URW++ Century Schoolbook L, URW++ Nimbus Sans L and URW++ Nimbus Mono
|
|
|
297 |
L families, respectively, and are released under GNU GPL license. See

Vyacheslav Dikonov made a Braille unicode font that could be merged
|
|
|
314 |
with the UCS fonts to fill the 2800-28FF range completely. (uniform
|
|
|
315 |
scaling is possible to adapt it to any cell size). He also contributed
|
|
|
316 |
a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed
|
|
|
317 |
from the "Carlo Ator" font freely downloadable from
|
|
|
318 |
<http://www.aacf.asso.fr/>. Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing
|
|
|
319 |
