Omega samples

Jonas Öster

Many people have asked for simple examples of how to use Omega. I am just a beginner myself, but I have managed to do some work with Omega and I would like to share it with others. I encourage everyone to point out any errors or bad solutions in my files. Any improvements will be incorporated in the files on this page, so that everyone can benefit from them.

If you have done any useful work with Omega, no matter how simple, please send me a small sample file or a link to your web page, and I will post it on this page.

Vietnamese example

This is an example of how to use Omega to typeset UTF-8-encoded Vietnamese text. Omega can do this right out of the box. All you have to do is to tell it to load OCPs to 1) decode UTF-8 to Unicode and 2) recode Unicode to omlgc font encoding. The text is taken from the cedilla distribution.

OTP example

2002-06-20: He has published a new document on typesetting Japanese with Omega (in English).
