  • FONT TYPEFACE PREVIEW
    Publication number: 20170091155
    Abstract: Generating a preview representative of a font is provided. A font typeface preview engine generates a preview font file comprising a plurality of font typeface preview elements, wherein each font typeface preview element is associated with a cloud-based font. The font typeface preview engine further generates a mapping file comprising location data mapping each font to a storage location of its associated font typeface preview element in the preview font file. The preview font file and the mapping file are transmitted to a client application executing on a computing device for rendering the plurality of font typeface preview elements as representations of the fonts in a font selection menu. The size of the preview font file can be kept very low. Thus, the computing device is enabled to render the font typeface preview elements with high fidelity, while saving memory allocation for fonts and reducing processor load.
