Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 9541-4 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 34, Document description and processing languages.
ISO/IEC 9541 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — Font

ISO/IEC 9541-4:2009(E)
Introduction
ISO/IEC 9541 is a font information interchange standard and is designed to be independent of any concrete
font file format. The Open Font Format (ISO/IEC 14496-22) is a font file format specification that is based on
the TrueType font file format. With regard to the handling and utilization of the typographic properties stored in
OFF file, ISO/IEC 14496-22 describes the implementations on Microsoft Windows or IBM OS/2 only.
Therefore, ISO/IEC 14496-22 does not specify the method for defining a font resource in ISO/IEC 9541
architectures from a given OFF file, because it is out of the scope. ISO/IEC 9541-4 fills the gap between OFF
file and font resource in ISO/IEC 9541.

Part 4:
Harmonization to Open Font Format
1 Scope
ISO/IEC 9541 specifies the architecture of font resources, as well as the formats for font interchange among
information processing systems. It also specifies the architecture and formats that can be used to construct
font references in general electronic document interchange.
This part of ISO/IEC 9541 specifies the correspondences between ISO/IEC 9541 font resource and
ISO/IEC 14496-22 Open Font Format file (OFF), to define ISO/IEC 9541 font resource from a given OFF file.
The classification (required or optional), syntax, and possible values of the properties are defined in
ISO/IEC 9541-1 and ISO/IEC 9541-2. The glyph shape representation and its interpretation are defined in
ISO/IEC 9541-3.

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2,
ISO/IEC 9541-3, ISO/IEC 14496-22 and the following apply.
NOTE The definitions given in 3.1 and 3.2 take precedence over the definitions of the same terms given in
ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2, ISO/IEC 9541-3 and ISO/IEC 14496-22.
3.1
AFII glyph name
glyph name defined by the Association for Font Information Interchange (AFII)
3.2
italic
script typeface
NOTE 1 In ISO/IEC 9541, “italic” does not refer to the oblique typeface that makes the upright typeface slanted.
NOTE 2 In ISO/IEC 14496-22, “italic” means both the script typeface and the oblique typeface synthesized from the
normal typeface.
4 Harmonization to Open Font Format
4.1 Harmonization of the elements in OFF “head” table
4.1.1 “Table version number” element
ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange this value
which describes the concrete file structure.
4.1.2 “fontRevision” element
This element is used to define ISO/IEC 9541-1 DATAVERSION.
4.1.3 “checkSumAdjustment” element
ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange this value
which is used by the checksum calculation.
4.1.4 “magicNumber” element
ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3 have no predefined property to interchange this value
because it is constant and specific to OFF file.
4.1.5 “flags” element
The flags element is 16 bit value to describe the feature of the OFF file. The font file of OFF stores this
element in big endian and the bit0 means its LSB, bit15 means its MSB. The bit5-10 are used by TrueType
fonts designed for Apple Macintosh font manager, but their specification is out of OFF.
a) bit0
Bit0 shows Boolean flag if Baseline is set to y=0 line. ISO/IEC 9541-1, ISO/IEC 9541-2 and ISO/IEC 9541-3
do not have per-font Boolean flag for the position of Baseline.
