|

+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. |

|
| 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 |

|
| 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). |
