Merged unicode-support back into trunk.
Now all GUI/visible strings should be unicode.
Internal strings unchanged.
Remember to use a font that actually has the desired codepoints.
Current default unicode policiy is 'ignore'.

10 URW++ donated a set of 35 core PostScript Type 1 fonts to the | |
11 Ghostscript project <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/>, to be available | |
12 under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL). | |

23 * Yannis Haralambous <yannis.haralambous AT enst-bretagne.fr> and John | |
24 Plaice <plaice AT omega.cse.unsw.edu.au> | |
25 | |
26 Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega typesetting | |
27 system, <http://omega.enstb.org/>. Omega is an extension of TeX. | |
28 Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's multilingual abilities. | |
29 In Omega all characters and pointers into data-structures are 16-bit wide, | |
30 instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating many of the trivial limitations of TeX. | |
31 Omega also allows multiple input and output character sets, and uses | |
32 programmable filters to translate from one encoding to another, to perform | |
33 contextual analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode | |
34 standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not only make | |
35 it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or complex languages, | |
36 like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or Korean, in one document, but | |
37 will also form the basis for future developments in other areas, such as | |
38 native color support and hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family) | |
39 and UT2 (omah family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript | |
40 format and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families. | |
41 Omega fonts are available subject to GPL | |

65 * Wadalab Kanji Comittee | |
66 | |
67 Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together | |
68 a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms: | |
69 Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are | |
70 written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into | |
71 Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji | |
72 Comittee has later been dismissed, and the resulting files can be now | |
73 found on the FTP server of the Depertment of Mathematical Engineering | |
74 and Information Physics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo | |

81 * Young U. Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu> | |
82 | |
83 Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols | |
84 designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the | |
85 documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The | |
86 Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts | |
87 for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < , | |
88 etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX | |
89 fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times | |
90 fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of | |
91 that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts." | |
92 TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license (GPL). | |

316 a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed | |
317 from the "Carlo Ator" font freely downloadable from | |
318 <http://www.aacf.asso.fr/>. Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing | |

384 | |
385 `Rachana' in Malayalam means `to write', `to create'. Rachana Akshara Vedi, | |
386 a team of socially committed information technology professionals and | |
387 philologists, has applied developments in computer technology and desktop | |
388 publishing to resurrect the Malayalam language from the disorder, | |
389 fragmentation and degeneration it had suffered since the attempt to adapt | |
390 the Malayalam script for using with a regular mechanical typewriter, which | |
391 took place in 1967-69. K.H. Hussein at the Kerala Forest Research Institute | |
392 has released "Rachana Normal" fonts with approximately 900 glyphs required | |
393 to typeset traditional Malayalam. R. Chitrajan apparently encoded the | |
394 glyphs in the OpenType table. | |
395 | |
396 In 2008, the Malayalam ranges in FreeSerif were updated under the advise | |
397 and supervision of Hiran Venugopalan of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing, | |
398 to reflect the revised edition Rachana_04. | |
