There are three kinds of extensions for the font file:<br />

TTF The recommended file extension for TrueType font files.<br />

TTC TrueType Collection file. A scheme where multiple TrueType fonts can<br />

be stored in a single file, typically used when only a subset of glyphs<br />

changes among different designs. They are used in Japanese fonts,<br />

where the Kana glyphs change but the Kanji remain the same.<br />

OTF The recommended file extension for the Type 1 font (not for<br />

TrueType).<br />

Changes to existing TTF rasterizer is described as follows:<br />

• Korean support added<br />

• Font types added: Batang, Dotum, and Sammul<br />

• Font sizes supported: 9, 10, 12, 18, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 72<br />

• Application support: X-window application, Netscape, and dtterm<br />

<strong>AIX</strong> has two locales related with Korean: ko_KR (IBM-eucKR) and KO_KR<br />

(Unicode). In <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>.2, Korean TrueType font rasterizer works only on ko_KR<br />

locale based on ksc5601.<br />

The TrueType rasterizer is available in the <strong>AIX</strong>windows font library, which is<br />

shipped with both the <strong>AIX</strong>windows Font Server and X server.<br />

The Korean TrueType font file supplied in <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>.2 is a TrueType collection file<br />

that has two TrueType Korean font sets. One is proportional, and the other is<br />

monospaced. The font file name is hmfmm.ttc. This font file is packaged in the<br />

X11.fnt.ksc5601.ttf fileset. It is installed in the /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType<br />

directory.<br />

10.6.5.1 Standards<br />

The <strong>AIX</strong>windows Font server supports the X window System Font Protocol<br />

<strong>Version</strong> 2.0 and X <strong>Version</strong> 1.1 Release 6.1.<br />

The TrueType rasterizer supports TrueType 1.0 font files.<br />

The name of the <strong>AIX</strong> windows Font server in <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong> is changed from fs to xfs.<br />

Also, the font server's port number is changed from 7500 to 7100. These changes<br />

between X11R5 and X11R6 were made by the X consortium, suppliers of the X<br />

Window System technology.<br />

10.6.5.2 Installation and Packaging<br />

The TrueType rasterizer is automatically installed as part of the <strong>AIX</strong> window X<br />

server and font server.<br />
