Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment KR-0011 (Modified: 2008-01-13) Agreed; we will fully define the information necessary to implement this property (specified below). This description provides all of the information needed to mimic a behavior observed in a previously existing word processing application (WordPerfect 6.x). In addition, we will remove it from its current location in the specification (Part 4, §2.15.3.53, pages 1,4671,468), and place it into a new annex for deprecated features. Following the precedent set by other ISO standards (such as SQL’s ISO 9075:2003 Part 1 and C++’s ISO/IEC 14882:1998), we will make use of a new Annex that contains normative descriptions of all deprecated features. The intent of this Annex is to enable a transitional period during which existing binary documents being migrated to DIS 29500 can make use of those deprecated features to preserve their fidelity, while noting that new documents should not use them. Accordingly, the Conformance clause will also be changed to state that newly created documents (those not created by migrating existing binary documents) should not use deprecated features. All deprecated features will be removed from their current locations in the standard, but will be fully defined in this new Annex. To provide a full description, the existing text in Part 4, §2.15.3.53, page 1,467, lines 526 and page 1,468, lines 12, will be replaced with the following: 2.15.3.53 truncateFontHeightsLikeWP6 (Use Truncated Integer Division For Font Calculation) This element specifies that applications should perform a specific method of calculation when converting font heights, specified in points using the sz (§2.3.2.36) and szCs (§2.3.2.37) elements, into pixels. This algorithm often results in a smaller then typical visual appearance of text for a given point size. Typically, applications convert points to pixels using any approximate mathematical conversion mechanism (often, rounded integer division). This element, when present with a val attribute value of true (or equivalent), specifies that applications should use truncated integer division when performing this conversion (any non-integer value is truncated to determine the integer value resulting from the conversions). [Example: If this compatibility setting is turned on: <w:compat> <w:truncateFontHeightsLikeWP6 /> </w:compat> Then applications shall use truncated integer division when calculating the height of characters. For example, if the conversion is done as follows: = 1 72 where: = size in points = size in pixels = resolution in pixels per inch. Converting a 14 point font on a 96 dpi device results in = 14 96 1 72 = 18 23 . If this setting is on, the result is truncated and the font is displayed using 18 pixels, even though 19 would be closer to the actual value. end example] Similar Comments: CL-0100 , CO-0109 , CZ-0020 , DK-0016 , FR-0067 , GB-0234 , GR-0037 , IN-0034 , IR-0024 , PT-0051 , US-0065
