Originally presented at the International Unicode Conference in October 2007, this talk will be updated to include the latest news on Adobe-Japan IVS registration.
Ideograph Variation Sequences (IVSes) allow glyph distinctions to be made at the "plain text" level, through the use of the Variation Selectors (VSes) in Plane 14. This presentation thoroughly describes the implementation details for supporting IVSes in the context of OpenType fonts.
In addition to the implementation details for IVSes, the experience of registering the glyphs for the Adobe-Japan1-6 ideographs will be covered during this presentation. Proper handling of IVSes and VSes, from a text-engine perspective, along with real-world application of the IVD and IVSes, are part of the overall picture that is painstakingly painted.
Ken Lunde is a Senior Computer Scientist in CJKV Type Development at Adobe Systems Incorporated, headquartered in San Jose, California. He has been with Adobe for over sixteen years. He is also the author of "CJKV Information Processing" (O'Reilly, 1999), and is currently working on writing the Second Edition.
