[comp.windows.x] Foreign Language Character Sets & Keyboard Mappings

hall@HUNTER.CRIM.CA (Ron Robert Hall) (06/15/90)

Presently I am looking for information of what constitutes complete character
sets for the following languages:

        Cyrillic
	Polish
	Bulgarian
	Romanian
	Yugoslavian
	Hungarian
	Czechoslovakian
	Armenian
	Farsi
	Estonian
	Lithuaian
	Latvian
	Ukranian

I am also curious if there are standards for the keyboard layouts for these
languages. I would be interested in any books, standards, etc. that exist
for these languages/keyboard mappings.

	Thanks in advance

Most of the languages you cite are covered by the ISO 8859 family of
character sets, as well as the ISO 6937 family.  You will find a table
which summarizes the use of Latin alphabetic characters in 41 different
languages in ISO 6937/2-1983.  Sorry, I don't know about documents
giving keyboard layouts.
