Typesetting CJK Languages with Omega
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes how to typeset Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages with Omega, a 16-bit extension of Donald Knuth’s TEX. In principle, Omega has no difficulty in typesetting those East Asian languages because of its internal representation using 16-bit Unicode. However, people have not kept an eye on Omega because of the difficulties in adapting it to CJK typesetting rules and fonts, which we will discuss in the paper.

متن کاملThe Encoding and Processing of Indian Languages - an Alternative Approach
CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) language systems are using multi-byte coding, while encoding of existing Indian languages is based on single-byte coding scheme. Due to the special characteristics of Indian languages, it is advantageous to consider multi-byte encoding for computer processing of Indian languages. In this paper, we discuss a model of encoding and processing Indian languages in ...
