ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented apparatus, and method for generating an output digital font from a base font and one or more font descriptor files. The method involves, in an exemplary embodiment, the steps of retrieving from memory a file containing instructions and data for a generic base font; retrieving from memory a font descriptor file containing specifications for operating upon the base font to produce the desired output font; and then generating the output font by performing operations upon the base font in accordance with the specifications contained in the font descriptor file, to produce a character program for each character in the base font wherein the data representing the output font is the generic font data as transformed in accordance with said specification. Two or more font descriptor files may be combined, such as by using mathematical weighted averaging of the parameter values for different typographic design features, or otherwise, to create font descriptor files for hybrid typefaces.
