The issue is that it covers only basic letters. So, we can use the glyphs for basic letters and other marks (if you can cut/paste them from the pdf file). But it completely misses all the mathras (half-consonants) and we would need to illustrate them in the handbook. cheers, Nagarajan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

No single font will have all the glyphs anyway. The question is: are there any copyright issues wrt to the pdf? http://www.unicode.org/copyright.html says, 7. Modification is not permitted with respect to this document. All copies of this document must be verbatim. I'm not very sure if the permissions are there, although it does seem absurd not to be able to use the charts. |

Krishna, Does it miss Mathras!! Did you look at the complete chart or am I missing your question completely? Check for Unicode 093C to 0954. -Ajay --- Krishnamurthy Nagarajan <kn...@ya...> wrote: > > --- Ajay Guleria <aja...@ya...> wrote: > > > > is interested in granting permission to use their > > font glyphs for the > > > handbook, please let us know. > > > > You can also refer to them at > > http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0900.pdf > > Well, this is an obvious answer for all of us.

Dear Ajay, The signs in the range 093C-0954 are dependent vowel signs, not the half-consonant signs. The very purpose of the handbook is to get the developers properly educated in the Indian language/scripts details in the context of computerization. btw, pls address me by my first name (Nagarajan) Nagarajan --- Ajay Guleria <aja...@ya...> wrote: > Krishna, > > Does it miss Mathras!!

How about using the chart/glyphs from TDIL document? There should not be any problem, I guess. -Pavanaja > >> You can also refer to them at > >> http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0900.pdf > > > > All possible sources, including the ones on the chart would still be worth > using.

Unicode is not supposed to talk about glyphs. It is only a character encoding. It is left to the induvidual to have any combination of glyphs for the display. -Pavanaja > --- Ajay Guleria <aja...@ya...> wrote: > > > > is interested in granting permission to use their > > font glyphs for the > > > handbook, please let us know. > > > > You can also refer to them at > > http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0900.pdf > > Well, this is an obvious answer for all of us.

That's precisely my point - Unicode is only for char. encoding and we should look elsewhere for all the glyphs of a given 'script' - preferably standard text books on the subject. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
