In Japan, most of operating systems on PC clients support JIS 83 ordered Shift<br />

JIS code set (IBM-943) to implement Japanese. <strong>AIX</strong> has supported JIS 78<br />

ordered Shift JIS code (IBM-932) since <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>Version</strong> 3. This was one of the<br />

advantages in enabling a UNIX-PC mixed environment. Recently, most Japanese<br />

PCs use JIS 83 ordered Shift JIS code set as the default, and this causes a data<br />

incompatibility between PC and <strong>AIX</strong> environments.<br />

<strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>.2 supports the IBM-943 code set that is needed for PC interoperability.<br />

The code page 943 supports interoperability with Microsoft Windows clients in<br />

Japan and makes <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>Version</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>.2 the preferred release for Japan.<br />

The difference between IBM-932 in previous <strong>AIX</strong> versions and IBM-943 is as<br />

follows:<br />

• New JIS sequence ('83 ordered).<br />

• NEC selected characters (83) are added.<br />

• NEC's IBM selected characters (374) are added.<br />

• Two new characters are added (defined by JIS90).<br />

Ja_JP is used for a short locale name of the IBM-943 locale. The short locale<br />

name of IBM-932 is no longer supported.<br />

If you want to use IBM-932 rather than IBM-943, you can use the IBM-932 by<br />

specifying the long locale name Ja_JP.IBM-932.<br />

10.6.4.1 Installation and Packaging<br />

Following list describes the installation and packaging of IBM-943 locale:<br />

• The IBM-943 locale is selectable for installation from SMIT.<br />

• Any locale support that is common to all Japanese locales are packaged and<br />

shipped in the existing fileset bos.loc.com.JP.<br />

• The IBM-943 locale is packaged in bos.loc.pc.Ja_JP. This fileset contains both<br />

IBM-932 and IBM-943 locales.<br />

• The IBM-943 locale-specific X11 resource is shared with the IBM-932 X11<br />

resource.<br />

10.6.5 Korean TrueType Font (<strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>.2)<br />

TrueType is the scalable font technology built into Windows and Macintosh<br />

workstations. <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>.2 now supports Korean TrueType fonts in the <strong>AIX</strong><br />

X-environment.<br />

A TrueType rasterizer is available in the <strong>AIX</strong>windows environment in <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>. All<br />

scalable font systems need a rasterizer to convert their glyph outlines into<br />

bitmaps suitable for direct copying to the screen.<br />

The TrueType rasterizer in <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>.2 supports TrueType 1.0 Font Files and most<br />

of the character sets currently defined in the Unicode 2.0 specification.<br />
