- determining the version of the Script Manager and the number of active
script systems- checking and setting the system direction
- checking and modifying Script Manager variables
- checking and modifying script variables
- making keyboard settings that affect text input
- obtaining script-related information to help you process text, by
- determining script codes from font information
- using character-type information for searching and analyzing text
- directly accessing a script system's international resources
- using specific tables within a script system's international resources
- converting text for specialized purposes, by
- converting source text from any script system into script-independent tokens
- transliterating text from one subscript to another within a script system
- modifying the features of a script system, by
