  • Patent number: 11030389
    Abstract: Acquisition of a font portion using a compression mechanism is described. In certain embodiments, an end-user device determines multiple characters to be displayed but are missing from a local font. The end-user device computes a compressed representation of the multiple characters based on multiple code points corresponding to the multiple characters. The end-user device transmits a font request including the compressed representation to a font repository. The font request may be implemented as a uniform resource locator (URL). The font repository, such as a server, decodes the compressed representation to identify at least the multiple code points encoded by the end-user device. The font repository prepares a font description including glyph data corresponding to the multiple code points and returns the font description. The end-user device produces a local font that includes at least multiple glyphs corresponding to the multiple requested characters. The local font production may include font augmentation.

  • Patent number: 8643652
    Abstract: A font subset is received that includes one or more glyphs of a master font which has a master ordering that establishes an order of precedence on the glyphs of the master font. When the font subset is received, one or more glyphs already exist in a consecutive sequence in an extensible data structure. In response to receiving the font subset, at least one existing glyph is repositioned in the extensible data structure and each received glyph of the received font subset is positioned in the extensible data structure. The repositioning of the at least one existing glyph and the positioning of each received glyph jointly establish a new consecutive sequential ordering on the glyphs in the extensible data structure, such that the new consecutive sequential ordering preserves on the glyphs in the extensible data structure the order of precedence established by the master ordering.
