Restrictions

Hull & Outfitting MS has been tested using the same range of languages as previous releases. No font files are available for any other language; this means that TrueType fonts must be used on drawings and that therefore it is not possible to produce plotfile output.

With that restriction, it is anticipated that many other languages will work, though there are aspects of the Unicode standard that are not yet implemented. Hull & Outfitting currently handles the following correctly:

• Left to Right languages; and therefore not, for example, Arabic and Hebrew

• Pre-composed characters; for example, the single character а́ but not the combiners а + ‘ => а́

• Upper and lower casing of characters, where both cases have the same number of bytes.
