 UcodeGlyphs4     Version 1.00    April 2002
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~

 You must already have my Ucode distribution installed, before you can
 install UcodeGlyphs4.  (i.e.  Ucode.lha  in  text/show)


 UcodeGlyphs4 contains glyphs for all Unicodes from 5800 - 63FF for the
 principal nominal heights, i.e.:

               5    tiny
               8    small
              11    normal
              14    H1
              17    H2
              20    H3
              23    H4
              26    H5
              29    H6

 and the following other attributes:

      width descriptor   NM   normal
      style descriptor   SS   sans serif
      weight descriptor   1   lightest 



 The glyphs 4E00 - 9FFF make up the entire set of CJK glyphs. You can
 find the CJK glyphs of the principal nominal heights in these glyph packs:

              UcodeGlyphs3     4E00 - 57FF
              UcodeGlyphs4     5800 - 63FF
              UcodeGlyphs5     6400 - 6FFF
              UcodeGlyphs6     7000 - 7BFF
              UcodeGlyphs7     7C00 - 87FF
              UcodeGlyphs8     8800 - 93FF
              UcodeGlyphs9     9400 - 9FFF

 So, in Ucode glyph packs 3 to 9, you have all the basic CJK glyphs in all
 the principal nominal heights.


 Notes
 ~~~~~
 1. Most CJK glyphs are unreadable in sizes 5 and 8.
 2. Although I describe size 11 as "normal", CJK characters are hard
    to read at that size, and in practice you would want to use larger
    sizes to display CJK text.
 3. For size 29, I have rather poor glyphs for some of the less-used
    glyphs. But all the glyphs in Big5, Shift-JIS and KSX5601 are of
    good quality.
 4. The glyphs in these glyph packs are optimised for Chinese. I will
    distribute in further glyph packs optimised for Japanese Shift-JIS
    characters.
 5. The glyphs are in traditional style, optimised for readability rather
    than beauty. They look more like the sample glyphs in Version 2 of
    the Unicode than those in version 3.
 6. I have made the glyphs all of fixed width in accord with usual CJK
    text layout.
 7. The license in my Ucode distribution applies also to this glyph pack.
