UNICODE TYPEFACES

(Redirected from Unicode fonts)
'Unicode typefaces' (also known as 'UCS fonts' and 'Unicode fonts') are typefaces containing a wide range of characters, letters, digits, glyphs, symbols, ideograms, logograms, etc., which are collectively mapped into the standard Universal Character Set, derived from many different languages and scripts from around the world. Unlike most conventional computer fonts, which are specific to a particular language or legacy character set and contain only a small subset of the UCS characters, these fonts attempt to include many thousands of possible glyphs, so that they can be used as a single typeface across multi-lingual documents.
The Unicode standard does not specify the typeface (a collection of graphical shapes called glyphs) itself, but rather instead, it defines the abstract characters as a specific number (known as a ''codepoint'') and also defines the required changes of shape depending on the context the glyph is used in (e.g., Combining characters, precomposed characters and letter-diacritic combinations). The choice of font, which governs how the abstract UCS characters are converted into a bitmap or vector output that can be viewed on a screen or printed, is left up to the user. If a font is chosen which does not contain a glyph for a codepoint used in the document, typically a question mark ("?"), a box, or some other Substitute character is displayed.
Currently (''July, 2006''), no single "Unicode font" includes all the characters defined in the present revision of the ISO 10646 (Unicode) standard. Many are continually updated to incorporate characters which were previously omitted or which were added in a newer version of the standard. Additionally, fonts may be updated to correct errors in past versions.
The UCS has over 1.1 million code points, but only the first 65,536 (the Plane 0: Basic Multilingual Plane, or BMP) had entered into common use before 2000. (See the Mapping of Unicode characters article for more information on other planes, including Plane 1: SMP, Plane 2: SIP, Plane 14: SSP, Plane 15 and 16: reserved for PUA.)
The first Unicode font (with very large character set, and supporting many Unicode blocks) was Lucida Sans Unicode, it was developed by Charles Bigelow & Kris Holmes' in March, 1993 (Shipped with Windows NT 3.1). Second was Unihan font, developed by Ross Paterson in 1993. Third was Everson Mono Unicode font, released in 1995, developed by Michael Everson.

Issues


There are typographical ambiguities in Unicode, so that some of the unified Chinese characters will be typographically different in different regions. For example, Unicode point U+9AA8 (骨) is typographically different between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese. This has implications for the idea that a single typeface can satisfy the needs of all locales.[1]

Application of Unicode typefaces


Beside all the issues, Unicode is now the base character set for many new standards and protocols, and is built into the architecture of operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and many versions of Unix), programming languages (Ada, Perl, Python, Java, Common LISP, APL), and libraries (IBM International Components for Unicode (ICU) along with the Pango, Graphite, Scribe, Uniscribe, and ATSUI rendering engines), font formats (TrueType and OpenType) and so on. Many other standards are also getting upgraded to Unicode compliance, day by day.

Utility software


Utility software can be used to see exactly which characters are included inside a font file:

★ Character Map applet included with Windows 2000/XP

★ Font Book application included with Mac OS X

★ gucharmap for GNOME

★ kcharmap for KDE

★ MainType (by HighLogic, commercial)

★ BabelMap (by Andrew West, free, donation-ware)

★ Unicode Font Viewer (by Mike Lischke, freeware)

★ Quick Key (by Nathanael Jones, opensource, free)

; Note
: OTF+TTO: OpenType font with TrueType outlines.
: OpenType fonts sometimes don't contain a one-by-one Kernpair table but a kern-by-classes table where groups of similar characters are seen as one kern group. I.e. have V and W nearly the same left and right geometry. So “0” doesn't mean that no kerning is supported!

Comparison of fonts


Number of characters included by the 'above version of fonts', for different Unicode blocks (or, ranges), are listed below.
