1. What is the DIN 91379 standard? The explanatory name of the regulation is Characters and defined character sequences in Unicode for the electronic processing of names and data exchange in Europe. It is intended to ensure a certain character set of fonts. Put simply, personal names that are sent and processed between different institutions within the European Union should be able to be represented using this character set. This mainly affects people whose names were originally written in other writing systems (e.g. Chinese, Arabic, Tamil, etc.). This is because non-Latin scripts have to be transcribed for practical reasons. 2. Who has to fulfil it? The standard is primarily aimed at authorities and organisations that operate IT procedures that serve the inter-agency exchange of data or the exchange of data with citizens and businesses. 3. How to fulfil it? You need a font with the required character set. We already offer compliant packages. Find a font package overview on our website. The representation of the special characters is more carefully realised than with system fonts such as Segoe UI, Aptos etc. More about the standard on Wikipedia.
