ASCII_IBM_BitmapFont

[shuling]

Hi,

I am not sure this is the right email address I should send. If I did make
mistake, please accept my apology.

I am looking for a encoding name in ICU which can convert IBM_BitmapFont to
Unicode string. I don't know too much about the encoding history in Japan.
I tried all the Japan related encoding in ICU and none of it works. So I
start to wonder may be this is not a "standard" data and ICU does not
support it.

Here is the data in hex value
ASCII_IBM_BitmapFont.
51F0H 51F1H 51F2H 51F3H 51F4H 51F5H
If you translate the value "properly"　ｔｏ　ｓｈｉｆｔ－ＪＩＳ it will be
E9CB 8DF2 etc.

So is there a encoding name in ICU support such translation?

Thanks,

Shuling Chang

Hi, I am sorry, but I don't know about this encoding and cannot find
anything about it by searching via Google as well as the IBM Intranet.

Perhaps if you could supply more details, like an actual name of a font,
then I could try to dig a little deeper. You list 16-bit hex codes for the
non-Shift-JIS side - could those be simply glyph IDs in your font rather
than a character encoding?
