Description

Character management system

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of character management system, its management is about the information (font and character code) of character included in the electronic document that utilizes the computing machine establishment, and described character comprises the character by coded representation.

Background technology

Font (character of representing with data mode) is installed in the operating system (OS) in the conventional computer system.When changing appearred in OS, changing also correspondingly appearred in font.

In electronic document, represent character by code (character code).Create electronic document by using based on the character code that is installed in the font among the OS, and based on be included in electronic document in the corresponding font of character code show the electronic document of being created.

Only when system's (creator side) of creating electronic document and system's (display side) of showing electronic document use the identical font of use among the OS at them (in theory, only when the font among the OS that is installed in the display side comprises font among the OS that is installed in the creator side), just guarantee on the display side, to reproduce in the same manner the desired character of creator.

Use different fonts to mean usually and use different character codes.The problem that causes like this is, may survey at display and reproduce the desired character of creator by different way.

Japanese has some character that contains what is called " variant Chinese character (character variant) ", and these characters have identical meanings and pronunciation, but have different shapes.For example, when pronunciation was represented with Chinese character for the surname of " Watanabe ", for example three variant Chinese character with difform character can be used for identical pronunciation " nabe "." variant Chinese character " like this is common in name and place name usually, and be everlasting with the fundamental human rights document associated (as, about the document of the human rights, for example basic resident registration, household register, inhabitation card and judgement), about the document (for example register, household register copy and summary copy) of personal property, about the document of individual life (for example medical records, about the clinical trial report of new medicine).Computing machine and other system have external character (i.e. unregistered font in system), and " variant Chinese character " is registered as external character usually in being registered in system.

For the character code of the Chinese character in the Japanese, the national language council of Japan's education, culture, physical culture, the Department of Science and Technology (METX) carried out once revision every 2 years.The number of fonts that causes like this being installed among the OS increases in time.Therefore, if revision is not adjusted, then show electronic document in the mode of confusion probably for section storage for a long time.

The quantity that comprises the external character of variant Chinese character increases day by day, and now, external character is not reflected in the font that is installed among the OS fully.This problem that causes is, possibly can't correctly show the electronic document (for example external character is chaotic, or can't show fully) that comprises external character.In addition, even the user has registered external character in his/her system, comprise that the electronic document of this external character can not correctly show in other systems (for example external character is chaotic, or can't show fully).Therefore, in computing machine and other system, can't easily handle the electronic document that comprises external character usually.

In order to address this problem, to have developed a kind of form and be embedded in method in the electronic document files employed character code and font.

In addition, WO 04/019249 discloses a kind of technology that font provides method and system that relates to, and it makes it possible to obtain not to be installed in the font of the expectation in the client devices under network environment.This allows the user to visit and use some font fabricators' ample resources with simple operations.

In order to realize this method, because the Japanese font is protected by copyright, thus must obtain permission from the copyright owner in advance, and the payment usage charges.Yet in fact the copyright owner can not handle the permission application that sends from ordinary populace.In addition, embed the size that form has increased electronic document files.Under the situation of a plurality of such electronic document files, file comprises by some shared part of public font there is not actual use.Therefore, the method for embedding form has the unmanageable difficulty of its actual use in electronic document files.

In addition, disclosed system allows the user to download the font of expectation from font fabricator's database in WO 04/019249, makes it possible to a large amount of character resources that use the font fabricator to be had.Yet the problem that this system has is, in the time of can not fully providing the security of being guaranteed to take precautions against in the undelegated copy of the font of downloading from font fabricator's database and distort.
