The agenda is to discuss Last Call comments.

Let's start by reviewing the action items http://www.w3.org/Fonts/WG/track/actions/open, followed by the discussion of Last Call comments (the rest of this email is just a copy of the agenda I sent last week).

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]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0092.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0093.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0094.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-font/2010OctDec/0100.html

-          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,
