WorldType fonts are TrueType and OpenType fonts
that are supplied in a Microsoft Unicode
format. The WorldType fonts include these typefaces:
Unicode rangesThe WorldType fonts are organized
by subsets and grouped by character blocks as defined by Unicode.
These subsets do not fully support all glyphs in every character block
and might contain glyphs from other characters blocks:
LocalizationsThe Complete Glyph List is available with Han localizations for Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. There is a 64K glyph limit in the TrueType and OpenType font architecture that limits the amount of support that can be provided with a single font. This limitation requires a different font to be selected to properly represent each locale. The set of Han glyphs is not fully localized for all four locales. Each of the localizations support the Windows 98 glyph set for a particular locale. The Simplified Chinese locale is the only uniform designed glyph set. There are fallback glyphs in the other locales for those not supported. For example, if a glyph is specified that is not part of the Windows 98 Japanese glyph set, the Simplified Chinese glyph is used for that particular glyph. Embedded bitmapsThe Complete Glyph List is available with embedded bitmaps. The embedded bitmaps are provided for many of the Han, Hiragana, and Katakana glyphs. These bitmaps improve the quality of the glyph at screen resolutions. The level of embedded bitmap support is based upon the Windows 95 glyph set. There are six bitmap sizes included in the fonts. Each bitmap size is designed to represent the locale and the type style, except for the smallest bitmap, which is too small to distinguish the difference. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
