According to 香港資訊科技署 ITSD (Information Technology Services Department), the current font provided maps to Big5's EUDC (End-users Definition Characters) or Unicode's PUA (Private User's Area). BTW, The HKSCS (1999) / HKSCS:2001 standard defines over 4000 characters. In the new standard, most characters have been moved from PUA to CJK Ext B, but there are still about 100 characters that remain in PUA. One challenge to full support for the new version of HKSCS is that Unicode codepoints above U+20000 in CJK Extension Area B are used, but there are still a few major parts of the system like XFree86 and Qt that do not yet support anything beyond U+FFFF. So yes, that will be a bit of a challenge. :-) > You can use pfaedit to merge that font with Arphic's TTF.

Not sure, although I recall Roger So saying that a Big5 *.ttf font can be used in tandom with a HKSCS *.tte font. Not sure. We'll see. :-) 春節快樂，馬到功成！ :-) Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling ThizLinux Laboratory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.thizlinux.com/ Debian Chinese Project <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.org/intl/zh/ Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp! http://www.olvc.ab.ca/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
