I am cross-posting this (short) note to several newsgroups, so please bear
with the irrelevance...
I am in desparate need of some information concerning software standards,
tools, techniques, etc. dealing with the Japanese alphabets: Katakana,
Hiragana, and mostly, Kanji. I would like as much information as I can get
about:
- ANSI, ISO, or similar standards on computer encoding of Japanese
characters, and other DBCS (Double Byte Character Set) character sets.
- Commercially available programming extensions/tools for both syllabic
input of Japanese words and graphic output of Japanese characters. A
licensable Kanji dictionary with software interface would be ideal.
The proposed target machine is the IBM AT, but information on others
such as the Macintosh are welcome.
- Commercially available fonts for Japanese alphabets.
- Other leads, hints, anecdotes, or miscellany.
Thank you, Doomo Arigatoo,
Brent Southard Sazaado Burento
