Additional Information

The fonts for CJK Extensions A and B was designed by Technical Supervisor Zheng Long and Hua Weicang of Zhong Yi Electronic Co. Michael Everson (Evertype) designed many fonts including Canadian Syllabics, 'NKo, Ogham, Linear B, Old Persian, and Osmanya. John M. Fiscella (Production First Software) designed the fonts for symbols and many of the European alphabetic scripts. Thomas Milo (DecoType) designed the Arabic font. SIL contributed several fonts designed by Jonathan Kew (Arabic Additions),  Peter Martin (Phonetic Additions), as well as Victor Gaultney (New Tai Lue). Cora Chang (Unicode) created the font for Braille patterns. Asmus Freytag created many individual glyphs for symbols or special characters. Patrick Andries (Hapax) designed the font for Tifinagh.

Asmus Freytag worked to acquire and organize the font collection with support from Michael Everson, and based on the original collection of fonts for Unicode 2.0 by John Jenkins. Critical comments and work on fonts are due to Heidi Jenkins, Dr. Virach Sornlertlamvanich (for Thai), Dr. Sarmad Hussain (Urdu), Roozbeh Pournader (Farsi), Barbara Beeton and Patrick Ion (Mathematical Symbols) and many others.

More fonts were donated than are used in the most recent version of the character code charts. Some fonts are used for examples and tables in the text of the book. Many individuals and organization provided fonts used during development of the standard, especially for drafts of new character additions.

In case of changes in corporate name or affiliation, the most recently available information is shown, even if it differs from the information at time of font contribution.
