Berling Antiqua and Frutiger Linotype provide complete character set coverage of the Character entities for the Open eBook publication structure version 1.0. For more information about the Open E-Book structure, see http://www.openebook.org/dtds/oeb-1.0/oeb1.ent.

The meaning of the term codepage has evolved over time. Only one definition concerns us now: A codepage is a list of selected character codes in a certain order. Codepages are usually defined to support specific languages or groups of languages which share common writing systems. For example, codepage 1253 provides character codes required in the Greek writing system.
