Proposals and comments on the font technology, in particular, regarding country specific font properties, are welcomed and appreciated. They will soon be included in new texts to be discussed in ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34.

The font standards including the amendments will contribute the interchange of multilingual document. For the next step, we should discuss the formatting specification of those multilingual document in order to make it possible to interchange the documents preserving presentation styles. Such activities has already taken place, for example, in W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) [2] and JIS committee [3 and 4] but they are insufficient for interchanging the East-Asian multilingual documents.
