In order to support input for characters defined by the GB18030 standard a new Chinese input method, Intelligent ABC, has been added to HP-UX. Two obsolete Simplified Chinese input methods have been removed. Since 2001 HP-UX has supported the China mandatory National Standard GB18030, but did not have a modern S-Chinese input method for the input of GB18030 characters. The Intelligent ABC Chinese input method is a very powerful and popular input method in China. It is widely used in MS Windows, IBM AIX, Apple Mac OS, and Linux. It supports the full GB18030 character set and has been certified by the Chinese standards agency CITS. The input method is based on Pinyin. It is easy to learn and supports stroke input, word input and user defined words. The Intelligent ABC input method will support zh_CN.hp15CN, zh_CN.utf8 and zh_CN.gb18030, the three Simplified Chinese locales. The T-C and T-C Rapid input methods will be removed from HP-UX 11i v2 due to low customer usage. Availability of Intelligent ABC in HP-UX 11i v2 and later version. Removal of T-C and T-C Rapid input methods (obsolete). A text file including Asian characters can be printed on an HP PCL5 printer using Asian TrueType fonts which are installed by default in HP-UX. The PCL5.asian printer model that works with the lp command has been enhanced to print as many Asian characters as possible by accessing both printer resident fonts and host-installed TrueType fonts. In previous HP-UX releases, these printer models supported printer-resident fonts only. If there are no Asian resident fonts in a PCL5 printer, use the -onodimm option for the PCL5.asian model in order to download the Asian characters rasterized from host-installed TrueType fonts. Host-installed TrueType fonts are Mincho and Gothic typefaces for ja_JP.SJIS/ja_JP.eucJP/ja_JP.utf8 locales, Batang and Dotum typefaces for ko_KR.eucKR/ko_KR.utf8 locales, Sun and Hei typefaces for zh_CN.hp15CN/zh_CN.gb18030/zh_CN.utf8 locales, and Ming typeface for zh_TW.ccdc/zh_TW.big5/zh_TW.eucTW/zh_TW.utf8/zh_HK.hkbig5/zh_HK.utf8 locales. The character sets of these TrueType fonts comply with country and regional standards. When the specified locale is utf8, the PCL5.asian model tries to use as many country typefaces as possible to print multilingual text. A larger set of Asian characters is available to the customer for printing when using Asian UTF-8 locales. Accessing host-installed TrueType fonts may require time to rasterize and download characters to the printer. The option -ooptions to the lp command will show the list of available print options for the PCL5.asian model. |
