With a focus on the Unicode Worldwide Character Standard and various font management systems, this book provides a thorough understanding of the complex data behind each character. The author delves into topics such as normalization, bidirectional algorithms, and East Asian characters, before moving on to discuss font management for different operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS, and Unix.
