After the last WG2 meeting, the project editors of ISO/IEC 9541-1, 2, 3 (2nd editions) have updated the proposed FCD texts to create the final texts for FCD processing. The major changes are updates on foreword and introduction texts.
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 9541-1 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 34, Document description and processing languages.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 9541-1:1991), of which it constitutes a minor revision. It also incorporates the following Amendments and Corrigenda:
ISO/IEC 9541 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology -- Font information interchange:

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 9541-3:1994), of which it constitutes a minor revision. It also incorporates the following Amendments and Corrigenda:
ISO/IEC 9541 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology -- Font information interchange:
The use of open networks for the interchange of documents in office and publishing environments has shown the need for a mechanism enabling the interchange of font information.
It is forseen that publishing and document technologies will merge and that this development will be facilitated by definition of a standard font resource architecture and a limited number of standard font resource interchange formats.
At the publication of ISO/IEC 9541-1/Amd.4 and ISO/IEC 9541-2:1991/Amd.2:2009, ISO/CO suggested developing the 2nd editions incorporating all the Amendments and Corrigenda. The editors and ISO/CO discussed and concluded that the 2nd editions of ISO/IEC 9541-1, 2 and 3 should be published after the publication of ISO/IEC 9541-1/Amd.4 and ISO/IEC 9541-2:1991/Amd.2:2009 and that the 2nd editions should incorporate all the Amendments and Corrigenda and include editorial changing syntax to XML(DSDL, ISO/IEC 19757-2) from SGML/DTD and ASN.1.
