Re: Cen Huang on font file "tags"
I have taken a look at CCLIB and the ETEN font file. The ETEN font
begins with the Chinese character _yi1_ ("one"), BIG 5 code A440,
without any "tag" whatsoever. CCLIB begins with the 32-byte bitmap
shape of _(SP)_, the first "character" in GB, again without any leading
"tag".

So, Cen Huang is right in saying that there are no "tags" in the
Chinese font files.

As for Cen Huang's question about the codes (GB/BIG 5), they uniquely
define the characters and determine the position of the characters in
the font files. For example, the first code value in BIG 5 is A440. This
code is assigned to the character _yi1_, which is thus the first character
in BIG 5 font files.
