Twenty-third Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC23)
Unicode, Internationalization, the Web: The Global Connection
Week of March 24-28, 2003
Prague, Czech Republic
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Send in your submission now!
><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Submissions due: November 15, 2002
Notification date: November 29, 2002

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Just 4 weeks to go! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The Internationalization & Unicode Conference is the premier technical
conference worldwide for both software and Web internationalization.
The
conference (renamed from "Unicode Conference" to more accurately
reflect
its content) features tutorials, lectures, and panel discussions that
provide coverage of standards, best practices, and recent advances in
the globalization of software and the Internet. Attendees benefit from
the wide range of basic to advanced topics and the opportunities for
dialog and idea exchange with experts in the field. The conference
runs
multiple sessions simultaneously to maximize the value provided.
New technologies, innovative Internet applications, and the evolving
Unicode Standard bring new challenges along with their new
capabilities.
This technical conference will explore the opportunities created by
the
latest advances and how to leverage them for global users, as well as
potential pitfalls to be aware of, and problem areas that need further
research. There will also be demonstrations of best practices for
designing applications that can accommodate any language.
We invite you to submit papers that relate to Unicode or any aspect of
software and Web Internationalization. You can view the programs of
previous conferences at:
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/conference/about-conf.html
CONFERENCE ATTENDEES
Conference attendees are generally involved in either the development
and deployment of Unicode software, or the globalization of software
and
the Internet. They include managers, software engineers, systems
analysts, font designers, graphic designers, content developers, web

- Migrating legacy applications
- Cross platform issues
- Printing and imaging
- Operating systems
- Databases
- Large scale networks
- Government applications
- Testing applications
- Business models for software development (e.g. Open source)
We invite you to submit papers which define tomorrow's computing,
demonstrate best practices in computing today, or articulate problems
that must be solved before further advances can occur.
SESSIONS
The Conference Program will provide a wide range of sessions
including:
- Keynote presentations
- Workshops/Tutorials
- Technical presentations
- Panel sessions
All sessions except the Workshops/Tutorials will be of 40 minute
duration. In some cases, two consecutive 40 minute program slots may
be
devoted to a single session.
The Workshops/Tutorials will each last approximately three hours.
They
should be designed to stimulate discussion and participation, using
slides and demonstrations.

THE UNICODE CONSORTIUM
The Unicode Consortium was founded as a non-profit organization in
1991.
It is dedicated to the development, maintenance and promotion of The
Unicode Standard, a worldwide character encoding. The Unicode
Standard
encodes the characters of the world's principal scripts and languages,
and is code-for-code identical to the international standard ISO/IEC
10646. In addition to cooperating with ISO on the future development
of
ISO/IEC 10646, the Consortium is responsible for providing character
properties and algorithms for use in implementations. Today the
membership base of the Unicode Consortium includes major computer
corporations, software producers, database vendors, research
institutions, international agencies and various user groups.
For further information on the Unicode Standard, visit the Unicode Web
site at http://www.unicode.org or e-mail <in...@un...>

Infact PfaEdit can use for making working OpenType font for any indian language, but now it will not assign the standared features for indian languages (registred by Microsoft). So after making a rough OTF font by using PfaEdit, you can manually edit the tables after dumping the font to XML by using TTX. (I mentioned about these things in a prvious mail, please look into that) I suggest all of you to use free tools for making free fonts. and never use any propriatery softwares.

PfaEdit cant do all tables. Malayalam OTF was built using PfaEdit alone. In Malayalam the first req was to substitute a unicode stream with a single glyph. For this please see the Ligature field in Char Info menu. (Try Ctrl+i in selecting a glyph) In the ligature field you have to give the name of chars from which ligature is formed, seperated by space. (GSUB entries will be created) |

The Unicode standard only defines the base characters and for yuktakshars you need to add open type tables (ie, convert the fonts into OTF) for OTF creation, you would need M$ Volt (does any Free alternative exist??) At the very basic level, the Open Type tables let you specify a particular series of of characters, for which a single glyph is displayed - and in this way you can display yuktakshars. eg. k+halant+k -> kk This is a very basic level thingy, and you can refer to the Microsoft OTF specs at http://www.microsoft.com/typography/specs/default.htm And for Devanagari fonts, take a look at http://www.microsoft.com/typography/developers/volt/devanagari.htm > > We are using pfaedit for modifying the font can we use the blank > positions ( marked with a black sqare and a '?' sign embeded in it ) > for these extra glyphs. > those are reserved spaces -hth- sdg |

Hi all, I can use the ttf fonts in the Redhat 8.0. Here I added the font path to /etc/X11/XF86Config. To make the fonts available in KOffice, I run xfstt. If not the font is available only in OpenOffice. Is it necessary or is there some other way to get the fonts in KOffice ? How unicode values are handled in RedHat 8.0. How the characters are stored in a file. What I need is, we are having the mo files for KDE, which are working for RH 7.3. How can I make use of them to Redhat 8.0 ? Thanks in Advance with Regards Vivek |

Wonder what's the scene for India? FN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Some interesting KDE statistics: the KDE CVS source code repository consists of about 2.6 million lines of code (LOC) (for comparison, the GNU/Linux kernel version 2.5.29 consists of about 3.1 million lines of code). The KDE Project consists of hundreds of active contributors, with 300 of them translating KDE into over 70 languages (KDE 3.0.4 shipped in 51 languages). In May 2002 over 11,014 CVS commits were executed. The KDE website has 24 official mirrors in 16 countries and the KDE FTP site has 71 official mirrors in 30 countries. |

If yes, from where? alvida, Alok HOWTO: Enabling Indian languages in Windows XP ============================================== 1. Goto Control Panel. 2. Open "Regional and Language Options". 3. On the "Languages" tab check on "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages (including Thai)". 4. Click Apply or OK. This will enable Indian languages. To install the keyboard drivers (IMEs) follow these steps: a) Open the "Regional and Language Options" from Control Panel. b) On the "Languages" tab click on "Details" button. c) Under "Installed Services" click on "Add" button. d) Select the language and the IME (Hindi, Kannada, etc.).

You need to have all the characters required as per Unicode chart for that specific language. Beyond that, you can have any number of glyphs without any Unicode value assigned to them. Put all the glyphs in any order. Import it to VOLT and then give them names using the glyph editor. Make glyph groups like full, half, vowels, matras, etc. Add the language, feature, lookups, etc. You can use Mangal.Volt.TTF which comes along with VOLT as reference. -Rgds, Pavanaja > > Your mail did not go through, so I am forwarding the mail to the list. > > Nagarjuna > > > On Thu, Oct 17, 2002 at 02:26:39PM +0530, Shashank Ashtikar wrote: > > Hi, > > We are working on linux localisation in HBCSE under guidance > of Mr. > Nagarjuna.

Does the Hindi lang pack not come along with the oem package? Do I need to install something extra? If yes, from where? alvida, Alok ===== à¤à¥à¤¸à¥ रहà¥?
