basic knowledge of font formats and technical issues.familiarity with the type design process.a clear understanding of the artistic aspects of letter design.a thorough knowledge of basic type design tools (Fontographer, in particular).The next achievement level-Apprentice-is awarded to the student who has demonstrated: At that point the candidate is automatically given the rank of Novice. To become a candidate for an SIL Type Design Apprenticeship, the person must have an interest in type design, a good eye for type/calligraphy, the motivation to follow through with an apprenticeship plan and demonstrate a significant time commitment to this course of study. This allows prospective apprentices a summary of what they would learn and how much of a time commitment each level requires. We are now in the midst of our first such program with Karen Block (MSEAG) as our first apprentice.Before the apprenceship began we planned out a general set of achievement levels intended to reflect a possible grouping of skills and accomplishments in the training of a Type Designer. Last fall we announced our intention to formalize our existing type designer training into a Type Design Apprenticeship program. One of the NRSI’s strategies for meeting non-Roman computing needs is to identify and train personnel in specific tasks that could be used in a field setting. Look for more information on this in the future. We have not yet had a chance to consider the implications of this use of LANGIDs, and I think this needs to be given further consideration before we get very far along in developing a lot of keyboards with various custom LANGIDs assigned.
Marc has had in mind that people developing Keyman keyboard layouts would register custom LANGIDs with him.
#MICROSOFT WORD UNICODE CONVERTER UCSC SOFTWARE#
The concern with LANGIDs is that there are only so many available: 512 are reserved for assignment by Microsoft (a number of which have already been allocated) another 512 are available for custom use, though Microsoft and commercial software will not recognise these custom IDs. In making use of multilingual support features in Windows, Keyman makes use of LANGIDs, a language identification parameter used within Windows. There is one aspect to the implementation of version 4.0 that is an area of concern for us. We anticipate on-going cooperation with Marc in further development of Keyman. Marc is very interested in responding to our keyboarding needs, and we have begun discussing our requirements document with him. Since the release of version 4.0, we have had some discussion with Marc regarding future enhancements. If you have questions regarding licensing issues, please contact us at Contact Form.

An announcement with registration details will be forthcoming in NOC. SIL has a corporate license, so the program is available to SIL personnel without charge. This version also makes use of compiled keyboards, so existing KBD files need to be converted to the new, compiled KMX files (not a difficult process) before they can be used.Īnother change in version 4.0 is that it is now shareware, and requires a registration key.

The most significant changes in version 4.0 are that it now works on Windows NT 4.0 and makes use of new multilingual support features introduced in Windows 95.

This has led to the recent release of version 4.0, with plans for a version 4.1 update in the near future, and a Unicode-capable version after that. However, Marc’s situation has now changed considerably and he has decided to retain ownership of Keyman and to continue development. In anticipation of the purchase of Keyman being finalised, the Software Development Management Team allocated personnel for work on keyboarding enhancements (Darrell Zook), and work began on a requirements document. Darrel Eppler of IPub began negotiations with Marc, a funding proposal was prepared, and the Language Software Board gave prioritisation to work on keyboarding enhancements.
At that time, Marc decided to discontinue his commitments to Keyman, and he approached SIL with an offer to sell the rights to the software to us. A year ago, Marc had begun work on a Windows 95 version of Keyman, but had to put a stop to this work in order to focus on his university studies. Over the past couple of years, we have been aware of needs for further improvements in keyboarding utilities.

The most signficant of these is that a new version is available! Marc Durdin has released Keyman 4.0, which you can download from his web site. There have been recent developments in Keyman to report.
