dcterms.descriptionUNESCO has just completed development of computer software that includes the phonetic signs of all the African languages (AFRALPHA). The development of rural newspapers has been hampered by the impossibifity of reproducing the special letters of African alphabets with standard type-setting equipment. With this software it is now possible to type-set all the letters of the reference alphabet established in 1978 by UNESCO with high quality typography. The use of this software obviously implies the computerization of production of African rural newspapers. This move started some years ago because of the difficulty of disseminating information in this scattered rural environment. For more details, contact: UNESCO 7 Place Fontenoy 75007 Pans FRANCEen
