Framework of JawaTeX

Transliteration is a substitution letter by letter from one alphabet to another, free from how to actually speak those characters or it can be called a letter substitution or transliteration. Currently there are already two Javanese characters of true type font. To use the fonts in writing Javanese characters, users must have knowledge about how to read and write Javanese. No researcher has already developed algorithm to handle writing Javanese character for x and q Latin characters, aritmetic operand, special symbols (except period, coma and double quote), multiple consonant (more than two sequence consonants), also cannot handle roman numbering system. This paper explains how JawaTeX is designed. The model of transliteration in this paper is not focusing on a font making process but a document transliteration. The transliterator is a media named JawaTeX. JawaTeX project is an initial effort t
