AFII used to be the registrar for ISO 10036, but in 1998 decided to get out of this business, since the last request for glyph registration had been the 'euro' symbol in 1997, and that was a singly glyph. AFII wound down its business and was dissolved in 2000, not having received a single request for additional glyph registration.Rick McGowan wrote:What is the relationship between AFII and ISO/IEC 10036 (Information technology -- Font information interchange -- Procedures for registration of font-related identifiers)?The AFII standard is not only obsolete, there isn't even any publicly available reference for the numbers.
Yuchi Komachi, one of AFII's board members, and active in SC34, engineered the transfer of registration authority to GLOCOM in 2001, with particular emphasis on wanting to support the registration of some of the other entities, beyond glyph identifiers, that are described in 10036.
At the moment, the GLOCOM site publishes identifiers for some of the ideographs. I did not see a way to get the identifiers for any other glyphs from their site, nor have I seen evidence of registration of additional glyphs or additional types of entities.
