Welcome to the seed of the Text Encoding Converter for Mac OS.
The Text Encoding Converter (TEC) is a shared library for converting text between common character encoding standards, including Unicode 2.0, Mac OS, Windows, EUC, and ISO-8859 series.
The TEC works with both PowerPC and 68k Mac OS computers. To use with 68k computers make sure you have the new CFM-68K Runtime Enabler v4.0 installed. To install the TEC, place the shared library "Text Encoding Converter" into the Extensions folder and the "Text Encodings" folder into the System Folder.

Changes from the 1.2a11 seed:
- New variants for MacArabic base encoding: Standard, TrueType, Thuluth, and AlBayan.
- Added support for MacGurmukhi, and MacGujarati encoding.
- Added support for VT102 font character set.
- Added MacFarsi (Persian) base encoding, with Standard and TrueType variants.
- Added NextStep Latin
- Added convenient masks for directionality field settings in ConvertFromUnicode control flags parameter.
- Delete redundant API TECGetTextEncodingLocalizedName. Instead, the TextCommon API GetTextEncodingName now provides names for encodings supported only by the high-level converter in addition to providing names for encodings supported by the low-level converter.
- Delete Copland-only function SetFallbackUniocdeToTextPreemptive.
