Multinational Character Sets

If the table has n entries, they will be used to overwrite the first n entries of

the corresponding symbol set (or overlay set). Also, the hex representation of

the characters are not permitted (you must use the decimal character values.)

The error checking is not extensive, but if an error is found, e.g., missing ‘/’

at the end of comments or bad file name, etc., the mapping does not occur.

The set should be enclosed in brackets.

For example, a “normal” table of the 3XX.map format would probably

contain 256 different values, one for each code point. The values select

which value within the multinational character table to use for each code

point.

Leave locations 0—31 alone. They are special characters that are used

internally. They should always be mapped back to 0—31. Also, if you are

using the CG-Triumvirate font, then you will get wrong results.

The standard code table for it is not the multinational table, so the mappings

do not reselect from within the multinational table. You will really map from

one CG-Triumvirate character to another, not from the multinational table to

the CG-Triumvirate table. Finally, for PGL and VGL, the default symbol set

is 305, and the LP+ symbol set is 308.

The foreign language sets are:

500—Germany

501—Swedish

507—French

502—Danish

508—Spanish

503—Norwegian
