scope:

This International Standard specifies procedures to be followed in preparing, maintaining, and publishing a register of identifiers and meanings that, under the direction of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC24, are assigned to graphical items.

Registration procedures will not assign values of identifiers for graphical items that are defined as being workstation- or implementation-dependent by specific graphics standards. The register of font appearance in the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC24 register of graphical items is not intended to address the broader issues of general purpose font registration as provided by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC18. The procedures apply to registration of individual items within classes of graphical items as reserved for registration in the International Standards developed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC24.
