中日韓不同地區的使用者雖然都使用相同漢字，但總是因地域區別，有些字的寫法
跟筆劃不全然相同，所以很難做出一套完全適合各地區口味 Unicode 的字型。有
個叫 TrueType Collections (TTC) 的技術，雖然本來是由 Microsoft 提出的，
但現在這個技術也在開放原始碼的世界內可以使用了。

這個分享會將重心放在如何在 CJK-Unifonts 計畫內使用 TTC 技術，也會展示即
將完成準備釋出的新字體會怎麼同時滿足中日韓三地的口味。

This week, Arne Götje, a ubuntu developer, also the CJK-Unifonts project
founder will talk about next generation of CJK-Unifonts.

Topic: CJK-Unifonts NG (Next Generation)
Speaker: Arne Götje
Time: 7:30pm 14 Aug (Tue)
Place: Cafe Lumiere (map at http://wiki.tossug.org/CafeLumiere)

Since CJK users in different regions use sometimes different glyph
shapes for the same character, it is very difficult to implement true
Pan-CJK Unicode fonts. One method is called TrueType Collections (TTC),
originally introduced by Microsoft, now this technology is also
available for the OpenSource world.
The talk will focus about the TTC technology and how this will be
implemented into the CJK-Unifonts project. It will also give a preview
of the upcoming release, which will use this technology to fulfill the
goal of being a set of Pan-CJK Unicode fonts.
