Unfortunately, I will be traveling tomorrow and will not be able to join the call (there is a small chance that if every flight goes on time I will arrive just in time for a call but I am reluctant to count on it). Chris Lilley has agreed to chair the call tomorrow.

The main topic on the agenda is to discuss Last Call comments. We have started the discussion last year ( :) ) http://dev.w3.org/webfonts/WOFF/DoC/issues-lc-2010.html, but there are some items left to be discussed.

Open issues:

-          I18n-ISSUE-2 (r12a): Why not using xml:lang? [WOFF]

-          I18n-ISSUE-4: Language tag references [WOFF]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0102.html

-          I18n-ISSUE-5: Use of attributes for human readable text [WOFF]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0104.html

-          I18N-ISSUE-6: Localization mechanism too restricted [WOFF]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0105.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0108.html

-          I18N-ISSUE-7: Paragraphs and inline content [WOFF]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0106.html

-          I18N-ISSUE-8: Direction attributes needed [WOFF]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0107.html


Resolved issues (sanity check):

-          Conflicting statements on WOFF font table order

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0095.html.

Resolution (see http://www.w3.org/2010/12/15-webfonts-minutes.html) - "J. Kew should ensure that sfnt ordering issue is resolved." Do we need to make any changes in the spec in light of http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0099.html?

-          I18N-ISSUE-9: OpenType feature preservation [WOFF]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0109.html

Resolution: in the informative note in section 5, where it mentions that UA "need not necessarily reconstitute the input font as a whole" and "may access individual tables directly as needed" - add a language with the warning that removing or ignoring any font table may result in breaking the functionality of the font, which may affect text rendering results and text layout.




Thank you,
Vladimir
