We will organize the material in the tutorial by concept, rather than by script. To help you, the script or scripts to which the concept applies will always be listed at the top right of the slide.

The list of scripts includes:

• Greek
• Cyrillic
• Japanese
• Chinese (Simplified & Traditional)
• Korean
• Arabic
• Hebrew
• Thai
• Indic (represents North & South Indian scripts)

The tutorial covers most of the key features of each of these scripts.

There is a set of web pages with sample text in each of the scripts we will address. Each of the sample pages is a translation of the same English text. We will use these samples to illustrate as many of the points made as possible. That way you will be able to experiment with the examples yourself. In fact, where I have taken an example from a sample page I have typically included the text of that sample on the slide to help you locate real instances more easily.

If you use these examples for your own material, please ensure that you cite this paper and the web site as a source reference.
