PDF2 unicode range definition   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #11064 of 16205 |

Hi all,

Does anyone know where the Unicode definition is for the “default” range?

 

It seems to me that the Chinese and Japanese define their own ranges in their specific I18N files, but I am wondering where the “default” Unicode range is defined and what ranges it includes mostly because I am not sure if it includes all of the ranges that I need for each of my new languages that also use the latin alphabet or a variation of it.

Thanks for your help,

Jen

... Hi Jen, According to the source in fo/src/com/idiominc/ws/opentopic/fo/i18n, the default is empty. That means that characters not in the i18n lists (such...

There are attempts to develop full Unicode fonts: e.g., http://www.code2000.net/ Do you mean plane 1 for "default" range? My understanding is that you can...

Hi Jen, ... There is no "default". XSL-FO has no requirement about "scripts" (what you are calling "unicode set"). It will happily use one font for a...

Thank you very much Deborah. That explanation makes things so much more clear. Ok, so on that note, I have one more follow up question. We produce multilingual...
