ATypI Font Technology Forum 2001
Radisson SAS Falconer Hotel & Conference Center
Falkoner Alle 9, DK-2000 Frederiksberg
Copenhagen, Denmark
Thursday September 20, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (coffee from 8:30 am)
Following the success of last year's font technology forum in Leipzig, the
event has been brought under the umbrella of the Association Typographique
Internationale, and this year's forum is being organised as an initiative
of the newly resurrected ATypI Technology Committee (co-chairs John Hudson
and Wm Ross Mills). The focus of this year's forum is 'Building
International Fonts', but the presentations will provide much of interest
to all font developers, regardless of their involvement with multilingual
typography and software internationalisation. Topics and speakers include:
Unicode for Font Developers.

Briefing: Unicode in OSX.
Peter Lofting, Apple
Briefing: Unicode in Windows Xp.

The presentations will end with with an interim report on the ATypI
Technology Committee initiative to develop, in partnership with font
technology and tool developers, an industry recommendation for XML-based
representation of font data. The forum will conclude with a Q&A panel session.
Registration for the forum is 45 GBP and includes a light lunch. To
