Requirements for Amendment to ISO/IEC 9541-3: Glyph Shape Representation

Existiong ISO/IEC 9541-3 specifies Type 1 format as a font shape representation for font resource interchange. In industries, however, not only the Type 1 but other formats are actually employed.

Considering the fact, SC34/WG2 should start to create Amendment 1 to ISO/IEC 9541-3, which should include today's major shape representation formats under the agreements with copyright holders for publication of the formats.
