What are the basic ISFOC concepts?
This chapter list the basic philosophy required for rendering complex scripts. Script Rendition Philosophy It is intuitive and logical to type in a word in terms of its spelling. The spelling of a word consists of the basic alphabet in the order of their pronunciation. The basic alphabet of a script along with necessary special symbols and punctuations constitute the ACII (Alphabet Code for Information Interchange). The letters in the ACII are arranged according to their alphabetical sorting order. ACII also contains the ASCII character set. A word can be composed by linearly combining the basic shapes available in a script. ISFOC foe a script contains these basic shapes. These can be too unwieldy for direct typing. An intelligent script to Font Algorithm (ISFA) can interpret the ACII spelling and generate an ISFOC code sequence required for displaying the word. For simple scripts like that of English the ASCII code for itself suffices for both ACII and ISFOC. However most complex non-
