National bodies

11、 that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other int

12、ernational organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISOAEC Directives, Part 3 In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint t

13、echnical committee, ISOAEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibil

O ISOAEC 2001 -All rights reserved . 111 ISO/IEC 9541 -1 :1991/Amd.l:2001(E) In t rod uct ion The Annex A of ISOAEC 9541 -1 :I 991 should be replaced with the revised Annex A specified by this amendment. The Annex A is n

16、ormative and defines a typeface design grouping scheme to provide values for the mandatory DESIGNGROUP property in clause 8.6.1 5. iv O ISOAEC 2001 -All rights reserved ISO/IEC 9541 -1 :1991/Amd.l:2001(E) Information technology - Font information interchange - Part 1: Architecture AMENDMENT 1 : Type

17、face design grouping Page 55 Annex A Replace Annex A of ISOIIEC 9541-1:1991 wifh fhe following annex: Annex A ( no rm a t ive) Type design grouping 2) This annex defines a typeface design grouping scheme whose purpose is to provide values for the mandatory DSNGROUP property defined in clause 8.6.1 5

18、. This grouping scheme consists of a three-level hierarchical structure. The highest (most general) level of the hierarchy is the IS0 Class, the second level of the hierarchy is the IS0 Subclass, and the third (most specific) level of the hierarchy is the IS0 Specific Group. Typeface examples for ea

19、ch Specific Group are shown and named wherever possible. These illustrations are intended to serve only as informative examples, not as a comprehensive catalog. Typefaces which are similar in appearance or which have characteristics that would allow them to be reasonably substituted for each other,

20、are grouped together. Some type designs could be associated with more than one design group, but it is the responsibility of the type designer or font resource generator to choose the most appropriate group. This typeface grouping scheme has the following intended purposes: - To aid both people and

21、software applications in initial selection of typefaces, either in their system or on remove font servers, which closely resemble a specified style which is not available. - To provide information that will enable identification of fonts for different international scripts (such as Kanji and Latin)

22、that will harmonize well when used on a page of a multi-script document (assuming the weights are matched). Assignment of suitable representations of different scripts to existing classes is encouraged to support this purpose. - To help software applications do font substitution, based on style char

23、acteristics, when a font referenced in a document is not available on a users system. Font substitution based on style alone can cause a document to be reformatted since the metrics are likely to be different. However, this may be adequate for some applications. The classification information contai

24、ned in this document can also be useful for systems capable of more advanced forms of substitution. 2) Copyright release: The content of this annex is free from ISOAEC copyright protection. O ISOAEC 2001 -All rights reserved 1 ISO/IEC 9541-1:1991/Amd.l:2001(E) When using this grouping scheme, it may

25、 be necessary to consider properties additional to those described in clause 8 when selecting substitution fonts. Since the grouping value specifies only the style and appearance of a font, additional properties such as NOMCAPSTEMWIDTH, LCHEIGHT, and metrics can prove useful in matching the layout a

26、nd typographic color of a page, and in achieving the best overall match. NOTE 42 Throughout this grouping scheme, the term “serif“ is used to denote both the traditional concept of the serifs of Roman typefaces, as well as any style of non-plain strokeending used in a non-Latin typeface. Although no

27、n-Latin typefaces with non-plain stem endings are included in groups with “serif“ in their names, it may generally be improper to refer to them as “serif“ typefaces. The term “sans serif is used to denote a plain, unembellished stroke ending. 1.0.0 Uncials class Typefaces in this class use as a sour
