| PROJECT EDITOR: | Y. Komachi |
| STATUS: |
In accordance with the Recommendation 8 (JTC 1/WG4 N1972) of the Meeting of ISO/IEC JTC1/WG4 Paris, 15 May 1998: According to the previously approved Disposition of Comments (WG8 N1885) and Editing Instructions (WG8 N1886) WG4 instructs the editor to prepare the final text of AM1/9541-1, Typeface Design Grouping, and transmit it to the JTC1 Secretariat for publication by the ITTF. To support this publication, WG4 requests Prof. Archie Provan to provide examples of typefaces to the project editor.Project editor tried to get clean copies of typefaces. As for Chinese typefaces, there have been obtained no appropriate examples for ISO publication in spite of Editor's efforts. Considering that it is more important for this Amendment to be published timely, SC34/WG2 revises slightly the disposition of comments on ISO/IEC 9541-1/DAM1 and editing instruction. |
