  • Automatic switching fonts on multilingual text runs
    Patent number: 8078965
    Abstract: Automatic switching of fonts on multilingual text runs in one action is provided. After an indication that a new font scheme is to be applied to a multilingual text selection, a client application passes a language identification for each of the multilingual text runs, a major/minor font designation for each text run, a script identification for each text run, if available, and the selected new font scheme to a font scheme application programming interface (API). The font scheme API converts the received language identification to a script identification for each multilingual text run and maps the resulting script identifications to appropriate fonts associated with the selected font scheme for each of the multilingual text runs. Fonts retrieved for each language text run are returned to the client application for rendering the multilingual text runs according to the respective fonts applicable to the selected font scheme.

  • ASYNCHRONOUSLY UPLOADING AND RESIZING CONTENT IN WEB-BASED APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20100218122
    Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided for asynchronously uploading and resizing content in web-based applications. These tools may deploy instances of the web-based applications within browser components installed on client systems. The tools may also at least begin uploads of content from the client systems, and send upload activity graphics for rendering within the browser while the content is uploading from the client systems. In addition, the tools enable users to interact with the client systems while the content is being uploaded from those client systems.
