Re: Welcome, and introductions

Hello,



My name is Sergey Malkin and I am developer on Internet Explorer team at Microsoft. I work mostly on fonts and text layout areas of IE. Before joining IE over 2 years ago I worked for 8 years on Typography team, with specialization on OpenType layout and complex script shaping. I also worked with Office team on new math layout engine for Office 2007, working mostly on font side of things and math font editing tools. I may also be heard of as owner of VOLT (Visual OpenType Layout Tool), although I do not have much time working on it since I joined IE team (Sorry, John!).



I never participated in W3C working groups, but have experience working on OpenType specification and ISO OpenFont Format standard.



I am in Redmond, so this places me into PST(GMT-8) time zone.



Looks like I am a bit late to this party, but looking forward to working with you all!



Thanks,

Sergey
