Topic: Windows Glyph List 4


  
  Character sets and codepages
Windows is able to retrieve the appropriate glyphs by using mapping information about the keyboard, the language system in use, and the glyphs associated with each character.
Glyphs can also represent combinations of characters and alternate forms of characters: there is not a strict one-to-one correspondence between glyphs and characters.
Windows 95 will also enable font developers to create fonts for large character sets other than WGL4, and users will be able to access all the glyphs as long as the associated characters exist in codepages supported by Windows 95.

 Windows Glyph List 4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windows Glyph List 4, or more commonly WGL4 for short, also known as the Pan-European character set, is a character repertoire comprising 652 Unicode characters.
As of 2004, WGL4 characters are the only ones guaranteed to display correctly on recent versions of all major platforms.
Some Unicode characters may be missing from default installations of Windows 9x (such as Armenian and Georgian), of Linux (such as Devanagari) or of Windows XP (such as Ethiopian and Runic), but WGL4 glyphs are found on all major platforms.

 TrueType in Windows 95
Windows 95 uses TrueType embedded bitmaps to render small glyphs in its Kanji and Lucida Console fonts and for selected glyphs in its core fonts, such as shade characters.
Windows 95 uses a scale of five gray values to generate a gray scale glyph: fl, white, and three intermediate grays.
WGL4 fonts will be released on the CD ROM version of Windows 95, and released for "Pan-European" countries, but will not be available on floppy disk versions of Windows 95 that are released domestically.

AFII) in charge of numbering glyphs long ago but the AFII glyph registry is far less complete and global in scope than Unicode character set.
More intelligent techniques to derive some glyphs algorithmically from decomposition tables or mappings from existing fonts may speed things up a bit but will not be available for a large portion of the repertoire.
Note that the final fullwidth glyph is easily distinguished from the halfwidth glyphs as its bit pattern is twice as long (64 hexdigits).

 Unicode fonts and tools for X11
The classic X Window System bitmap fonts are now available in an ISO 10646-1/Unicode extension.
Sometimes, different glyphs have to be used depending on the character appearing at the beginning, middle, or end of a word, and often certain entire sequences of characters have to be represented by a special ligature glyph.
Therefore, an Indic font is always a proprietary non-standardized collection of glyphs together with a mapping table that defines, how sequences of standard Unicode characters have to be transformed into sequences of non-standard Indic glyphs from this particular font, before the text can be displayed.

 How to find an &#number; notation for a character
The reason for suggesting a look at these list is the same as the reason why entity names have been defined for them: the characters that they denote are used relatively often.
However only part of the characters have glyphs there, and the official name and the glyph might not be sufficient information for identifying the character, so you might still need to do some additional checking, as suggested below.
You can then click on a glyph to get a separate page containing the glyph in larger size as well as your browser's attempt to present the character, and the Unicode name and some formal properties of the character.

 Adobe Glyph List - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Adobe Glyph List (AGL) is a mapping of 4,281 glyph names to one or more Unicode characters.
Its purpose is to provide an implementation guideline for consumers of fonts (mainly software applications); it lists a variety of standard names that are given to glyphs that correspond to certain Unicode character sequences.
For producers of fonts, Adobe suggests a more limited set of names, the Adobe Glyph List for New Fonts (AGLFN), based on an earlier version of the AGL.
