Supported Codepages
The operating system needs to know which codepages a TrueType font can
support. To set this information you select all the codepages that this font
can “cover” from the list of standard codepages that are available to the
operating system.
To select the supported codepages automatically press the
Auto button.
FontLab will analyse the Unicode information available in the font and will
automatically detect which codepages this font can support.
To add a codepage to the list of supported codepages select a codepage in
the left list and press the
Add button.
To remove a codepage from the list of supported codepages select a
codepage in the right list and press the
Del button.
To reset the list of supported codepages, press the
Reset button.
The Meaning of Supported Codepages in Windows
In Windows 3.1x this information is not used.
In Windows 95 and Windows NT a font that has more than one standard (1252 Latin 1) codepage
supported will appear as a font available for different scripts. So, if, for example, you set Latin 1 and
Cyrillic codepages for a font with the name MyFont, in Windows 95 (and NT) it will appear as MyFont
(Western) and MyFont (Cyrillic).
