The Translation Tables
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<!
|
|
----------------------
|
|

|
|
|
|
These translation tables are used to translate the Type 1 fonts between
|
|
different encodings of the same language.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The file names are supposed to have the suffix <tt>.tbl</tt>. Each file
|
|
describes one encoding, and all the tables for a given language
|
|
are stored in the same directory.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The file format is quite simple: just a sequence of rows in
|
|
format
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<tt>
|
|
<name> <decimal code>
|
|
</tt>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The names do not have to conform to any standard, just the same
|
|
glyph must have the same name in all the files for a given language.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Not all the codes need to be described in the tables, the codes that
|
|
are not mentioned in the tables are left untranslated. So a file
|
|
of zero length may be used in case when no translation is neccessary.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The translation changes only the encoding table of the font and does not
|
|
rename the glyphs in the font file.

The directory `russian' contains the tables for some encodings of the
|
|
Russian language: KOI-8, IBM CP-866, IBM CP-1251 and just for fun
|
|
ISO-8859/5 (nobody uses it anyways). The tables describe both russian
|
|
letters and table graphics characters (except for CP-1251 for which
|
|
the table graphics is not defined, so the table graphics portion for
|
|
it is just copied from KOI-8).
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The file for ISO-8859/1 is just a copy of file for KOI-8. It is neccessary
|
|
because Netscape has rather weird ideas about the documents in
|
|
KOI-8 encoding. The common way to fool Netscape is to set the KOI-8
|
|
fonts for the ISO-8859/1 encoding and set the default encoding
|
|
in Netscape to 8859/1.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The directory `latin1' contains an empty table for ISO-8859/1
|
|
because it does not need any translation.
