Some Char. to Glyph Statistics, Pan/Single Font

The problem with your glyph statistics is that they are based on mould counts employed by the Monotype hot metal typesetters. The Monotype system was capable of extensive kerning, and therefore many glyphs were constructed from the elements provided by the moulds at the time of composition.

Hi. Well, it can be said to be above the minimum :-) depending on how you look at things. If you're a developer of embedded device with a really stringent requirement in memory footprint (for font and others), you may just go with 1:1 ratios for all three groups of Jamos

Thursday, May 31, 2001 My goal was never to give a specific number of glyphs needed to display a particular Indian or other script. As others have pointed out, this depends among other things, on the particular display device and its font processing
