+Project ILX
+
+1. What is ILX ?
+ ILX is th abber of "Internationalized and Localized X-window system".
+ Its main goal is to provid a internationalized and localized application
+ envoriment for X-window system.
+
+2. Why ILX ?
+ The reason that UNIX like operation systems can't compitete with M$ Windows
+ are that:
+ a) UNIX like systems lack GUI applications which make non-programmers
+ diffcult to use.
+ b) UNIX like systems are not internationalized nor localized enough
+ which makes it even harder for non-English speaking users to use
+ it.
+
+3. What will ILX have ??
+ ILX have three major steps, and for each major step there are some minor
+ stages to be complete.
+ Step 1. In the first step we have to make the more well avaliable
+ True Type font displayed by the X server. Most of easten fonts
+ are provided by the font vendors in True Type font format. In
+ order to provide a working True Type Font server we have to
+ complete the fellowing stages:
+ a) ttfdump: A true type font dumping program to explore the
+ definition of a true type font.
+ b) ttfshow: A true type font showing program to provide a test
+ bed for true type font rasterization.
+ c) fileview: Viewing a non ASCII file in the specified
+ encoding scheme. This program further explore the capacity of
+ the ttf rasterizer.
+ d) ttfedit: A true type font editor lets users to make their
+ new true type fonts.(optional)
+ e) ttfs: True Type Font Server, a font server comform to X11R6
+ font server protocols which can provide rasterizing True Type
+ fontsas well as other font format currently prrovided.
+
+ Step 2. In the second step we have to provide a easily extened Input
+ an Output Server for localized characters to be inputed and
+ displayed.
+
+ Step 3. In the third and final step we will provide a fully
+ internationalized and localized working enviroment, which
+ includes a CDE like desk top manamger, a document editor,
+ or even other things like spreadsheet or database mananger. \ No newline at end of file
