Appendix A - Built-in Script Support / The Roman Script System

U.S. International Resources and Keyboard Resources

When Macintosh system software is localized for a non-U.S. market, its system script may be Roman or non-Roman. In either case, it contains replacements for or modifications to the U.S. international resources and keyboard resources. Any U.S. Roman resource that is not replaced is included with the localized system.

Table A-9 shows which international resources are included in the U.S. system software, and how localized versions of the system software (and secondary scripts) add resources or replace them in the System file. Note that all non-Roman script systems and most localized versions of system software include localized versions of the 'itl0', 'itl1', 'itl2', and 'itl4' resources. (Not all non-U.S. Roman script systems add a non-U.S. 'itl4'.) Some non-Roman systems may also use optional 'itl5' or 'trsl' resources.

Table A-9 International resources in U.S. system software (Continued)

Resource type	U.S. system software including Roman script system	Localized versions of system software or other script systems
'itlc'	Roman 'itlc'	May replace 'itlc'
'itlm'	Default 'itlm'	May replace 'itlm'
'itlb'	Roman 'itlb'	May add non-Roman 'itlb'
'itl0'	U.S. 'itl0'	Adds non-U.S. 'itl0'
'itl1'	U.S. 'itl1'	Adds non-U.S. 'itl1'
'itl2'	U.S. 'itl2'	Adds non-U.S. 'itl2'
'itl4'	U.S. 'itl4'	May add non-U.S. 'itl4'
'itl5'	(none)	May add non-Roman 'itl5'
'trsl'	(none)	May add non-Roman 'trsl'

Table A-10 lists the keyboard resources that are included in the U.S. system software and shows how localized versions of the system software (and auxiliary scripts) add resources or replace them in the System file. Note that all localized versions of system software and all non-Roman script systems include at least one keyboard-layout resource and keyboard icon family; some provide a key-remap resource; and none need provide a key-map resource or key-caps resource.
