HP Roman
Family of character sets / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Mac OS Roman.
In computing HP Roman is a family of character sets consisting of HP Roman Extension, HP Roman-8, HP Roman-9 and several variants. Originally introduced by Hewlett-Packard around 1978, revisions and adaptations were published several times up to 1999. The 1985 revisions were later standardized as IBM codepages 1050 and 1051. Supporting many European languages,[which?] the character sets were used by various HP workstations, terminals, calculators as well as many printers, also from third-parties.
