The PDF version of the Compelling Unicode Example has been updated. http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/unicodeexample.pdf
This collection of celebrity names and countries from around the world, written in their native languages using Unicode, is useful for explaining to businesspeople and senior managers the benefits and applications of Unicode. (As names and countries would be used in business applications for customers, employees, vendors, etc.) The pdf version was created for salespeople and others who are not technical and didn't want to go thru any configuration pains (such as downloading fonts) to be able to reference the web page. Feedback I have gotten from a people is that the demonstration is very helpful in explaining and promoting Unicode internally and externally. The pdf had an unexpected benefit in that I have gotten a few reports from people saying their browser results of the html are different from the pdf. (Ignoring changes in introductory text and just looking at the examples.) http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode-example.html For example, the Mac seems to do better with Tibetan and Khmer. I would be glad to get other reports comparing browsers and platforms, and the pdf. If it doesn't become too burdensom I will publish the information I get. This version of the pdf file fixes a few reported problems. RTL languages were corrected. Katakana names now use middledot separator. A couple other fine points. Known problems- Khmer has a dotted circle. Tibetan not being kerned properly. In general the problems are not noticed by the target audience but font typographers and/or encoding experts catch them. This version was produced with IE 6.0 and Adobe Acrobat on Windows XP, using Code2000 (James Kass) and Arial Unicode MS fonts for the most part. I would be glad for comments on or off list. tex -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Tex Texin cell: +1 781 789 1898 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Xen Master http://www.i18nGuy.com XenCraft http://www.XenCraft.com Making e-Business Work Around the World -------------------------------------------------------------
