ΩTimes and ΩHelvetica Fonts Under Development: Step One
نویسندگان
چکیده
ΩTimes and ΩHelvetica will be public domain virtual Timesand Helvetica-like fonts based upon real PostScript fonts, which we call “Glyph Containers”. They will contain all necessary characters for typesetting efficiently (that is, with TEX quality) in all languages and systems using the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew and Tifinagh alphabets and their derivatives. All Unicode characters will be covered, although the set of glyphs of our Ω fonts will not be limited to these; after all, our goal is highquality typography, which requires more glyphs than would be required for mere information interchange. Other alphabets will follow (the obvious first candidates are Coptic, Armenian and Georgian) as well as mathematical symbols, dingbats, etc.
