Windows Glyph List 4

Encyclopedia : W : WI : WIN : Windows Glyph List 4

Windows Glyph List 4, or more commonly WGL4 for short, also known as the Pan-European character set, is a character repertoire comprising 652 Unicode characters. Its purpose is to provide an implementation guideline for producers of fonts for the representation of European natural languages; fonts that provide glyphs for the entire set of characters can claim WGL4 compliance and thus can expect to be compatible with a wide range of software.

As of 2004, WGL4 characters are the only ones guaranteed to display correctly on recent versions of all major platforms. Some Unicode characters may be missing from default installations of Windows 9x (such as Armenian and Georgian), of Linux (such as Devanagari) or of Windows XP (such as Ethiopian and Runic), but WGL4 glyphs are found on all major platforms.

Repertoire

The repertoire, defined by Microsoft, encompasses all the characters found in Microsoft’s code pages 1252 (Windows Western), 1250 (Windows Central European), 1251 (Windows Cyrillic), windows-1253 (Windows Greek), and 1254 (Windows Turkish), as well as characters from MS-DOS codepage 437.

It does not cover the combining diacritics used by code page 1258, the Thai letters used in code page 874 or the ideographic characters used by code pages 932, 936, 949 and 950.

The following Unicode ranges are found in WGL4:
