Short: Glyphs for use by Ucode - Set 4 Author: shillito@tpg.com.au (Ken Shillito) Uploader: shillito tpg com au (Ken Shillito) Type: text/show Architecture: generic UcodeGlyphs4 Version 1.00 April 2002 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ You must already have my Ucode distribution installed, before you can install UcodeGlyphs4. (i.e. Ucode.lha in text/show) UcodeGlyphs4 contains glyphs for all Unicodes from 5800 - 63FF for the principal nominal heights, i.e.: 5 tiny 8 small 11 normal 14 H1 17 H2 20 H3 23 H4 26 H5 29 H6 and the following other attributes: width descriptor NM normal style descriptor SS sans serif weight descriptor 1 lightest The glyphs 4E00 - 9FFF make up the entire set of CJK glyphs. You can find the CJK glyphs of the principal nominal heights in these glyph packs: UcodeGlyphs3 4E00 - 57FF UcodeGlyphs4 5800 - 63FF UcodeGlyphs5 6400 - 6FFF UcodeGlyphs6 7000 - 7BFF UcodeGlyphs7 7C00 - 87FF UcodeGlyphs8 8800 - 93FF UcodeGlyphs9 9400 - 9FFF So, in Ucode glyph packs 3 to 9, you have all the basic CJK glyphs in all the principal nominal heights. Notes ~~~~~ 1. Most CJK glyphs are unreadable in sizes 5 and 8. 2. Although I describe size 11 as "normal", CJK characters are hard to read at that size, and in practice you would want to use larger sizes to display CJK text. 3. For size 29, I have rather poor glyphs for some of the less-used glyphs. But all the glyphs in Big5, Shift-JIS and KSX5601 are of good quality. 4. The glyphs in these glyph packs are optimised for Chinese. I will distribute in further glyph packs optimised for Japanese Shift-JIS characters. 5. The glyphs are in traditional style, optimised for readability rather than beauty. They look more like the sample glyphs in Version 2 of the Unicode than those in version 3. 6. I have made the glyphs all of fixed width in accord with usual CJK text layout. 7. The license in my Ucode distribution applies also to this glyph pack. *** Watch in the Aminet for more Ucode glyph packs ***
