Processing Unicode Complex Text PSF for z/OS: User's Guide S550-0435-04 |
|
Processing Unicode Complex TextPSF supports input data sets that contain complex text, which is Unicode-encoded text that cannot be translated with the traditional one-code-point to one-glyph method; for example, bidirectional Arabic text or combined Hindi characters. Complex text requires:
Font layout tables contain script-specific information about glyph substitution, glyph positioning, justification, and baseline positioning, all of which are used by the layout engine to translate complex text. For PSF to correctly process GLC control sequences, the TrueType and OpenType fonts that are used must be placed inline in the print data set. PSF looks in the inline resource group for the font referenced in the Map Data Resources (MDR) structured field. If PSF cannot find the font inline, the complex text is not processed. |
