I don't know.. (I'm just a little potato). But the changes will not be
very large. Before the government releases the fonts and input tables
to the public, they should have thought that the chance that ISO adopt
their scheme is quite large. Start early is my humble opinion...
FYI, the government's plan can be found at

Of course, no one wants to just use 9 keys on a full keyboard :p

Ok. I've used your files and compiled a new version of xfs-xtt and
libxfont-xtt. You can find them at http://www.debian.org.hk/~ypwong/
