IBM Licenses WorldType from Monotype.
Date: Friday, August 1, 1997
Source: PR Newswire
ELK GROVE, Ill., July 31 /PRNewswire/ via Individual Inc. -- Monotype(R) Typography announced today that IBM(R) (NYSE: IBM) has licensed Monotype's WorldType(TM) font solution for inclusion across a variety of IBM hardware and software products, including use with OS/2(R) Warp products.
WorldType is a font set which conforms to Unicode(R) standards and provides worldwide language support. WorldType is designed to be a flexible font solution that will fit the needs of a variety of users, particularly software developers and publishing professionals.
Monotype has developed an extensive library of Latin, non-Latin and extended-Latin fonts over its 100 year history in the publishing industry. Utilizing the strength of Monotype's non-Latin library, WorldType was developed to support the world's languages and scripts in a single font, or set of fonts, conforming to Unicode standards. Monotype provides WorldType to each of its customer by working closely with each of them to implement their required language support.
Monotype typically provides WorldType with a base level of language support and provides additional complementary Unicode font modules which support a specific set of languages as necessary. The base-level WorldType font supports the following scripts and languages: Pan-European Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic. Monotype can supply additional script modules to support all of the world's scripts.
IBM required a font that contained one graphic representation for each Unicode character that they support for Pan-European Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Indic, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean and extended symbols that are present in their legacy systems. Monotype provided IBM with a single font that contains the characters necessary to support all of these scripts and languages.
"As we investigated the options for offering Unicode compliant language support for our products it became obvious that Monotype could offer us the best solution," said Jeff Engelman, Product Manager at IBM, "Monotype provides unparalleled language support, high quality fonts, and an extensive knowledge of the languages and scripts."
Monotype has provided Latin, non-Latin and specialty-Latin fonts for all of the major operating systems and can offer true cross-platform compatibility. In addition to licensing the fonts for use with IBM OS/2 Warp products, Monotype licenses the core fonts to Microsoft for Windows, as well as to Sun for their Solaris operating system and to Apple for several of their language kits.
For further information, including detailed linguistic, geographic, and character-set coverage of each font module, contact Steve Kuhlman at 847-718-0400 ext. 109 or e-mail stevek@monotypeusa.com.

Phoenix OS/2 Society general meeting: putting together an OS/2 system.
If you run OS/2, one predictable concern is "What hardware should I get?" Every OS/2 user wants to know what equipment is best for the operating system, and, possibly more importantly, what hardware to avoid. The August meeting of the Phoenix OS/2 Society, on Tuesday, August 12, will address this topic in detail. Our guest will be Ken Espiau, operations manager of Computer Central in Sedona. Computer Central sells OS/2 pre-installed on computer systems, to individuals and companies of every size. Because Ken's company has sold and supported OS/2 on such a wide variety of systems and for every kind of computer user, he's best suited to talk about making the best hardware choices. Ken has even figured out how to preload IBM Aptivas with OS/2 Warp. About Computer Central Computer Central, located on Coffee Pot Drive in Sedona, is a full service computer center. The company offers IBM, HP, and Compaq computers and servers, laptop computers, a variety of printers, and a comprehensive range of software -- including a section devoted to OS/2 applications. The company is a Premier BESTeam member, and has on staff a Novell CNE, IBM Certified OS/2 Warp Server Engineer, a Certified OS/2 Warp Server Engineer, and a Compaq Accredited Systems Engineer. They also offer training classes.
When and where:
The general meeting will be held at 7:00pm on Tuesday, August 12, at the Mountain Preserve Reception Center (1431 E Dunlap). The Q&A session begins at 6:30pm; we're certain to convene at Coyote Springs afterwards. More information about the Phoenix OS/2 Society is available at http://www.possi.org, where you can also learn about the Society's award-winning print magazine, _extended attributes_.
