  • The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters
    The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters Version 2.06, October 31, 2014 Pim Rietbroek Preamble Few typefaces – if any – allow the user to access every Latin character, every IPA character, every diacritic, and to have these combine in a typographically satisfactory manner, in a range of styles (roman, italic, and more); even fewer add full support for Greek, both modern and ancient, with specialised characters that papyrologists and epigraphers need; not to mention coverage of the Slavic languages in the Cyrillic range. The Brill typeface aims to do just that, and to be a tool for all scholars in the humanities; for Brill’s authors and editors; for Brill’s staff and service providers; and finally, for anyone in need of this tool, as long as it is not used for any commercial gain.* There are several fonts in different styles, each of which has the same set of characters as all the others. The Unicode Standard is rigorously adhered to: there is no dependence on the Private Use Area (PUA), as it happens frequently in other fonts with regard to characters carrying rare diacritics or combinations of diacritics. Instead, all alphabetic characters can carry any diacritic or combination of diacritics, even stacked, with automatic correct positioning. This is made possible by the inclusion of all of Unicode’s combining characters and by the application of extensive OpenType Glyph Positioning programming. Credits The Brill fonts are an original design by John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks. Alice Savoie contributed to Brill bold and bold italic. The black-letter (‘Fraktur’) range of characters was made by Karsten Lücke.

  • The Degenerate Crossing Number and Higher-Genus Embeddings
    The Degenerate Crossing Number and Higher-Genus Embeddings Marcus Schaefer1 and Daniel Stefankoviˇcˇ 4 1 DePaul University, Chicago, IL 60604, USA, [email protected] 2 University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627, USA [email protected] Abstract. If a graph embeds in a surface with k crosscaps, does it al- ways have an embedding in the same surface in which every edge passes through each crosscap at most once? This well-known open problem can be restated using crossing numbers: the degenerate crossing number, dcr(G), of G equals the smallest number k so that G has an embed- ding in a surface with k crosscaps in which every edge passes through each crosscap at most once. The genus crossing number, gcr(G), of G equals the smallest number k so that G has an embedding in a surface with k crosscaps. The question then becomes whether dcr(G) = gcr(G), and it is in this form that it was first asked by Mohar. We show that dcr(G) ≤ 6 gcr(G), and dcr(G) = gcr(G) as long as dcr(G) ≤ 3. We can separate dcr and gcr for (single-vertex) graphs with embedding schemes, but it is not clear whether the separating exam- ple can be extended into separations on simple graphs. Finally, we show that if a graph can be embedded in a surface with crosscaps, then it has an embedding in that surface in which every edge passes through each crosscap at most twice. This implies that dcr is NP-complete. Keywords: degenerate crossing number, non-orientable genus, genus crossing number.

    Fraser’s Lisu orthography WG2/N3326 L2/07-294 ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set Title: Fraser’s Lisu orthography: Research notes toward a Unicode encoding Doc Type: Working Group Document Author: Richard Cook Status: Expert Contribution Action: For consideration by UTC and JTC1/SC2/WG2 Date: 2007-09-15 This document examines questions relating to the encoding of elements of Fraser’s (unicameral) Lisu writing system, weighing the benefits of two possible encoding methods, one involving unification with (bicameral) Latin Script, and the other involving disunification. After examining the repertory and considering it in relation to encoded (Unicode 5.0, and Charts Amendment 3 WG2/N3263 [2007-04-27]) characters and case mappings, unification with Latin Script is proposed as the preferred encoding method. Unification of Fraser with Latin Script requires that only 10 characters (out of ~48) be proposed for future encoding.
