Hey Michael,
For a big european platform i have a multilanguage application that has 11
languages in it now.
English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portugees, Italian, Polish,
Swedish, Denish and for Norway.
I remember collecting info from sites like listed below:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/csettables.html
http://www.biega.com/special-char.html
http://www.tony-franks.co.uk/UTF-8.htm
In flash 7 (was big project.. so mutch work to turn to flash cs :-D ) .. i'm
using the following sets:
-Uppercase
-Lowercase
-Numerals
-Punctuation
-Basic Latin
-Latin I
-Latin Extended A
-Latin Extended Add'l
Mind that i'm not using the > -Latin Extended B.
So far we had no complaints with that not being enough characters..
Some fonts we had to extend though.. you got small programs for that.. easy
enough to extend the special fonts you'r using.
Don't remember if we had to extend Arial though.. i believe it pretty mutch
covered everything.
Don't know about Greek either though..
Hope this helps you along..
With kind regards,
Dennis
I Sioux

By the lack of feedback do I take it that no one is knowledgeable on this
topic???
Any help would be appreciated or pointers to some information on this. I
can't believe I am the only person on this list that has had to make an
application for Europe!
I have searched myself but with no luck.
Cheers
M

Subject: [Flashcoders] Language expert on embedding fonts for different
language sets
I am implementing a multilingual site for all the European countries and I
am creating separate font libraries for which I will just load the right
one
based on the locale. From what I can gather there are four main ones which
is Latin, Armenian, Cyrillic and Greek. The question I am asking is what
font sets do you embed for the particular language set. I am using the
Arial
font as that tends to have all the necessary glyphs and have embedded the
characters as shown below. Now this works but I feel I am using a sledge
hammer to crack a nut as I am not sure what languages use which and
therefore I am embedding the latin into the other character sets which I
am
assuming is not needed. Any help, advice or pointers to information
regarding this would be fantastic.
The font sets I am embedding are as follows - are these right, wrong or
just
plain ridiculous??##!!
Latin language settings
-Uppercase
-Lowercase
-Numerals
-Punctuation
-Basic Latin
-Latin I
-Latin Extended A
-Latin Extended B
-Latin Extended Add'l
Armenian language settings
-Uppercase
-Lowercase
-Numerals
-Punctuation
-Basic Latin
-Latin I
-Latin Extended A
-Latin Extended B
-Latin Extended Add'l
-Armenian
Cyrillic language settings
-Uppercase
-Lowercase
-Numerals
-Punctuation
-Basic Latin
-Latin I
-Latin Extended A
-Latin Extended B
-Latin Extended Add'l
-Cyrillic
Greek language settings
-Uppercase
-Lowercase
-Numerals
-Punctuation
-Basic Latin
-Latin I
-Latin Extended A
-Latin Extended B
-Latin Extended Add'l
-Greek
Thanks in advance :)
Michael
