| Nosaukums | <p>ISO/IEC 14496-22:2007, "Open Font Format Specification", defines the extensible font data format representation for interchange of digital font information in different multimedia applications.</p> <p>Historically, scalable digital fonts have come in two basic flavours: PostScript (registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated) Type 1 and TrueType (trademark of Apple Computer Incorporated). Both of them are multi-platform outline font standards. OpenType (registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation) is the unification of these two most powerful and widely used font formats, PostScript and TrueType, into a single font format. Designed to handle languages with complex typographic requirements, such as Arabic, it supports alternate glyphs and contextual ligature substitution.</p> <p>ISO/IEC 14496-22:2007 defines the data format for scalable digital fonts that is based on the OpenType specification, version 1.4.</p> <p>ISO/IEC 14496-22 addresses the following goals:</p> <ul> <li>high-quality scaling of glyphs, based on the advanced TrueType hinting capabilities;</li> <li>broader multi-platform support;</li> <li>better support for international character sets and the Unicode standard;</li> <li>better protection for font data using digital signatures in font files;</li> <li>smaller file sizes to make font distribution more efficient;</li> <li>broader support for advanced typographic features and text layout.</li> </ul> |
