19、C (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with p
20、articular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have e
21、stablished a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint te
22、chnical 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 possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO

24、 the general title Information technology Font information interchange: Part 1: Architecture Part 2: Interchange format Part 3: Glyph shape representation Part 4: Harmonization to Open Font Format BS ISO/IEC 9541-4:2009ISO/IEC 9541-4:2009(E) ISO/IEC 2010 All rights reserved vIntroduction ISO/IEC 954
25、1 is a font information interchange standard and is designed to be independent of any concrete font file format. The Open Font Format (ISO/IEC 14496-22) is a font file format specification that is based on the TrueType font file format. With regard to the handling and utilization of the typographic
26、properties stored in OFF file, ISO/IEC 14496-22 describes the implementations on Microsoft Windows or IBM OS/2 only. Therefore, ISO/IEC 14496-22 does not specify the method for defining a font resource in ISO/IEC 9541 architectures from a given OFF file, because it is out of the scope. ISO/IEC 9541-
27、4 fills the gap between OFF file and font resource in ISO/IEC 9541. BS ISO/IEC 9541-4:2009INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 9541-4:2009(E) ISO/IEC 2010 All rights reserved 1Information technology Font information interchange Part 4: Harmonization to Open Font Format 1 Scope ISO/IEC 9541 specifies the a
28、rchitecture of font resources, as well as the formats for font interchange among information processing systems. It also specifies the architecture and formats that can be used to construct font references in general electronic document interchange. This part of ISO/IEC 9541 specifies the correspond
29、ences between ISO/IEC 9541 font resource and ISO/IEC 14496-22 Open Font Format file (OFF), to define ISO/IEC 9541 font resource from a given OFF file. The classification (required or optional), syntax, and possible values of the properties are defined in ISO/IEC 9541-1 and ISO/IEC 9541-2. The glyph
30、shape representation and its interpretation are defined in ISO/IEC 9541-3. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

34、ocument, the terms and definitions given in ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2, ISO/IEC 9541-3, ISO/IEC 14496-22 and the following apply. NOTE The definitions given in 3.1 and 3.2 take precedence over the definitions of the same terms given in ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2, ISO/IEC 9541-3 and ISO/IEC 1
35、4496-22. 3.1 AFII glyph name glyph name defined by the Association for Font Information Interchange (AFII) 3.2 italic script typeface NOTE 1 In ISO/IEC 9541, “italic” does not refer to the oblique typeface that makes the upright typeface slanted. NOTE 2 In ISO/IEC 14496-22, “italic” means both the s
36、cript typeface and the oblique typeface synthesized from the normal typeface. 4 Harmonization to Open Font Format 4.1 Harmonization of the elements in OFF “head” table 4.1.1 “Table version number” element ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange th
37、is value which describes the concrete file structure. 4.1.2 “fontRevision” element This element is used to define ISO/IEC 9541-1 DATAVERSION. 4.1.3 “checkSumAdjustment” element ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange this value which is used by th
38、e checksum calculation. 4.1.4 “magicNumber” element ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange this value because it is constant and specific to OFF file. 4.1.5 “flags” element The flags element is 16 bit value to describe the feature of the OFF file
39、. The font file of OFF stores this element in big endian and the bit0 means its LSB, bit15 means its MSB. The bit5-10 are used by TrueType fonts designed for Apple Macintosh font manager, but their specification is out of OFF. a) bit0 Bit0 shows Boolean flag if Baseline is set to y=0 line. ISO/IEC 9
40、541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 do not have per-font Boolean flag for the position of Baseline. BS ISO/IEC 9541-4:2009ISO/IEC 9541-4:2009(E) ISO/IEC 2010 All rights reserved 3b) bit1 Bit1 shows Boolean flag if LeftSideBearing is set to x=0 line. ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 95
41、41-3 do not have per-font Boolean flag for the position of LeftSideBearing. c) bit2 Bit2 shows Boolean flag if sfnt TrueType glyph procedure depends on pointsize. ISO/IEC 9541-1 and ISO/IEC 9541-2 have no per-font boolean flag for specific glyph shape representation. d) bit3 Bit3 shows Boolean flag
42、if PPEM is integer. ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange this value which depends on glyph shape representation and the glyph shape procedure interpreter. e) bit4 Bit4 shows Boolean flag if Microsoft instruction to change character width is use
43、d. ISO/IEC 9541-1 and ISO/IEC 9541-2 have no per-font Boolean flag for specific glyph shape representation. f) bit11 Bit11 shows Boolean flag if this OFF file is Agfa MicroType font. ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange this value because this
44、value declares the font file compression technology defined in ISO/IEC 14496-18 and has no effects on font properties. g) bit12 Bit12 shows Boolean flag if this OFF file is converted file. ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange this value because
45、 this value declares the source of font file and has no effects on font properties. h) bit13 Bit13 shows Boolean flag if this OFF file is designed for Microsoft ClearType rasterizer. ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange this value because it is
46、 used by specific implementation. 4.1.6 “unitPerEm” element This element is used to define ISO/IEC 9541-1 RELUNITS. 4.1.7 “created” element This element is used to define ISO/IEC 9541-1 DATAVERSION. 4.1.8 “modified” element This element is used to define ISO/IEC 9541-1 DATAVERSION. 4.1.9 “xMin” elem
47、ent This element is used to define minx in ISO/IEC 9541-1 MAXFONTEXT. 4.1.10 “yMin” element This element is used to define miny in ISO/IEC 9541-1 MAXFONTEXT. BS ISO/IEC 9541-4:2009ISO/IEC 9541-4:2009(E) 4 ISO/IEC 2010 All rights reserved4.1.11 “xMax” element This element is used to define maxx in IS
48、O/IEC 9541-1 MAXFONTEXT. 4.1.12 “yMax” element This element is used to define maxy in ISO/IEC 9541-1 MAXFONTEXT. 4.1.13 “macStyle” element The font file of OFF stores this element in big endian and the bit0 means its LSB, bit15 means its MSB. ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no
49、 predefined property to interchange this value. This element is used by Apple Macintosh to declare an OFF file as an embolden typeface of another typeface. In the matching, the combination of FamilyName and macStyle is used. ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 do not provide such mechanism to relate a typeface to another typeface. a) bit0 Bit0 shows Boolean flag if the glyph in this OFF file is already emboldened. This element is used to define ISO/IEC 9541-1 WEIGHT. b) bit1 Bit1 s
