Q1. Pls route us to documentation about the efforts needed to introduce UNICODE fonts? Or better said, Unicode-compliant fonts? A font indeed is never used in isolation: it is one of the components used in text rendering systems. Therefore, it is not strictly meaningful to ask if a font is Unicode-compliant; this question is more pertinent for the rendering system as a whole. Q2. Are Unicode fonts available for all standard typefaces? Q3. What about custom fonts? Q4. Is a transition to Unicode fonts paired with another font naming in the applications? Q5. Do the Unicode fonts also exist as outline fonts? Q6. Do conversion routines exist from custom bitmap fonts to outline fonts? Q7. If conversions in applications have to be undertaken from the Unicode perspective, is it worthwile/advized to consider the transition to outline fonts simultaneously? Or is this a too big overhead? Q8. Is there some listserver about fonts & printing?
As you can see, beginners questions of HOWTO tackle this Unicode font journey.
