What is the Unicode Standard?
The Unicode™ Standard is an industry-standard, worldwide character set specification designed to allow for the global interchange of multilingual digital information. The inventors of the standard had the goal of supporting all the world’s scripts while accommodating existing national and international character sets. The Unicode Standard has been endorsed by all major hardware and software companies in addition to the International Organization for Standardization. In fact, the Unicode Standard and the international standard ISO 10646 have been in tandem for several years. Since both standards support the same character repertoire, companies can confidently embrace the Unicode Standard without worrying about competing specifications.
Monotype Imaging Multilingual Solutions
Monotype Imaging world language font collection represents one of the most comprehensive TrueType®-based multilingual font libraries. Unicode compliant fonts may be grouped into useful modules to cover the customer’s required language support. For example, if a customer needs to publish a report in the major languages of Northern India, the main scripts of that region would be gathered into a font module: Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati and Gurmukhi. The customer would then have access to all the necessary languages: Assamese, Bengali, Bihari, Gujarati, Hindi, Kashmiri, Marathi and Panjabi. If the customer required support for all Slavic languages in one simple package, a font module could be composed that includes Cyrillic and Latin scripts (East European subset). With this module, customers could write in all of the following languages: Belorussian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Macedonian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene, Sorbian and Ukrainian.
