Regarding a file configuration format 'which allows easy conversion of font type:: sex. to be included in my device. In addition, Mango has invented a ten-factor tool that transforms the font attributes (such as height, weight, line gap, etc.) that are difficult to modify in other ways, thereby reducing the cycle time of the transformed character from a few to a few. minute. [Prior Art] The development of a new software library routine to deal with a variety of character encoding methods gamma or multi-language word competition may be burdened by cost-time. In addition, the support library handles the encoding of the characters and the characters of the language may be blocked in storage space and/or maintenance of the code. Some instruction codes combine characters to form a combined character, and the shape of the combined character is determined by the relative position of the characters (that is, the context of the character). Instructions for Hebrew, Hebrew, Thai, and all Hindi. Each character in the character 窜 is distinguished from the character ❹. The character is distinguished from the scalar character. The shape of the character is called the "character" of the character. For example, Γ A , Λ # - ^ ^ # >>t ^ ^ J ^ ^ characters can have a specific style associated with them. That is, the English "Α" can be written in such a way as to be written by the _ 149 149007.doc 201104458, and the pattern maintains the basic shape of the character so that the character can still be recognized as "A". A collection of characters that share a common style is called a "font." The examples of application subtypes are Courier, Times Roman and Helvetica. There are various character representation schemes. A common scheme is a bit map character or a bit map word S. In a bitmap font, the characters of a given character include a series of bits corresponding to the array of pixels on the display screen. Each bit is based on the value of this bit to indicate whether the corresponding pixel will be illuminated. The pixel array has a feature width and height. For example, the 'character can be 24 pixels wide and one pixel high. In this example, a storage of 576 bits (i.e., 72 bytes) is required to store the character. If the width of a character in a font is the same number of pixels, the font is called a non-proportional font. If the width is variable, the font is called a proportional font. Another-common character representation scheme is a frame font. The characteristics of the outer frame font are usually for scaling and rotation. The moving device processes the text encoded according to the character encoding method and the text is "not on the screen. Processing - the image of the character (that is, the character associated with the character 彳 # +马今_) The act of giving money is called "presentation." The rendering program must use the font type caution, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Eight languages with relatively large $words create specific problems in the context of word processing and presentation.

The uni_e engine invokes the language (4) to determine the language associated with the given character of the UnieQde string. Test. (4) The engine uses the language and font type set by the application to determine the one or more gaze &隹; ^ which character set in the 子 个 sub-character set includes: the: the character of the element. The Mang0 font engine further includes one or more rendering engines for presenting characters of a given 浯 s and font. The per-presentation engine is configured to render a string of characters according to a presentation rule for its particular language and font. For example, t, based on the context of each character, the rendering engine for the language associated with the context of the content knows how to render the characters in the substring. In addition, the rendering engine can have a specific understanding of the criteria for a given region (such as 'about time, floods, and currency symbols'). In addition, the engine shoulders are known to indicate the direction in which the words appear. For example, the Arabic rendering engine will read from right to left, while the French rendering engine will present 149007.doc 201104458 characters from left to right. Depending on the characteristics of the language associated with the character set, the character set is preferably configured in a manner that facilitates efficient storage and retrieval of characters in the character set . . . A character set for a language with a large number of characters can be stored and retrieved. Each character set has an associated presentation.

The original height can then be selected in step 1〇4, then the destination height is selected in step 1〇6, the central offset is selected in step 1〇8 and the sparse character 4 operation is selected in step 11Gt to generate an output font format (112) . This format can ultimately be used on embedded devices. Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining the reduction of the font type in the case of no reduction, Song effect, and size. Properties allow you to reduce font height without reducing the size of the characters. The first attribute is pixel-height-s〇urce. The font tool uses this value to generate characters from the font file in the memory towel. The second attribute is piXel—height_destination. The font tool uses this value to reduce the height of the character bounding box produced in the previous step. For example, if the original height is 40 pixels, the intermediate characters will appear as shown in step 202 of Figure 2A. Now, if the target height is 3 pixels, the font tool will remove 5 pixels from the top and remove 5 pixels from the bottom to produce characters at the bottom (step 204 of Figure a. The present invention allows the designer to easily Custom PC fonts are used in embedded devices. In embedded device wipes, the line spacing does not need to be as large as the line spacing on a personal computer. Figure 3 illustrates the vertical alignment of characters. This alignment is attributed by the attribute y-center. - align_〇ffset determines. If the attribute is positive, then the character is moved downwards and the right attribute is negative, then the character is moved upwards.
