ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for processing and constructing an electronic text document. An electronic document is provided that includes a string having one or more references. The string is parsed to identify a reference. A glyphlet is identified based on the identified reference. The glyphlet includes a set of character attributes defining semantic information of a character and a set of glyph attributes defining appearance information for a representation of the character. One or more character attributes or glyph attributes for the identified glyphlet are used to process text in the electronic document.
