I have been looking into the standards behind i18n on Linux (I'm
interested in writing a Unicode terminal emulator implementing
ECMA-48/ISO-6429, and also being backward compatible with current
emulations). From what I can see, there are several standards which
must be at least partially implemented underneath/alongside ISO-10646:
ISO-646 (ECMA-6)
ISO-2022 (ECMA-35)
ISO-4873 (ECMA-43)
ISO-6429 (ECMA-48)
which I have obtained from ECMA as PDFs. There are also
ISO-1745 - basic mode control procedures
ISO-2375 - registration of escape sequences (required for exit to
UTF-8 mode with no return); the registrations are available
online, but each must be obtained separately
ISO-7350 - registration of graphic characters
ISO-10367 - standard 8-bit graphics character sets
ISO-10538 - control functions for text communications
and probably others I haven't realised I need yet. To obtain these
through the ISO (or BSI) would amount to a lot of money (several
hundreds of GBP), which I can't afford since I work on GNU/Linux in my
spare time. Is anyone aware of any other bodies which publish these,
or any other way of obtaining copies? (The local libraries don't
stock them, and the British Library didn't have them on its catalogue
either.)
Thanks,
Roger
