| Research Abstract |
We have conducted researches in printing and typographical traditions in Asian scripts in view of re-implementing such traditions in informational processing of Asian languages. The themes which have been treated are : 1. typesetting and typefaces, 2. dictionary collation order, 3. character codes, 4. multi-language processing, etc.
The subject scripts have been classified into three groups, namely, Chinese scripts, Arabic scripts and scripts of Indian origin (Indic scripts including Thai, Khmer, Lao, Burmese etc.).
The research has also comprised missionary and colonial phases of typographical traditions in Europe from the 16th Century onward.
