> This extension came from the After-XTT people from Japan. I thought of this extension from a argument with Jamus Su. It seems that there were some discussion on some mail lists of supporting non BMP glyphs. For example, http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2000-12/index.html Re: X font aliases and UTF-8 xterm, Ienup Sung Re: X font aliases and UTF-8 xterm, Robert Brady Re: X font aliases and UTF-8 xterm, Roman Czyborra But I like no proposals in them which cause confusion obviously. Therefore I think that we actually cannot but extend Encoding Field. The extension of X-TT 1.4 does not have any problems about compatibility, so I implemented this extention to X-TT without many discussion. Even if this extension is not accepted, there is no necessity of deleting this extension. In Japan, there are the "GT fonts" which includes 66773 glyphs. To use "GT fonts", I implemented this extention. It is also one of the reasons. I use them like: gt200001.ttf -gt-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gt.2000-0.1 gt200002.ttf -gt-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gt.2000-0.2 gt200003.ttf -gt-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gt.2000-0.3 : : The code range of "gt" is the same of that of "jisx0208". ------------------------------------------------------------ Chisato Yamauchi After X-TT Project _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
