ABSTRACT:
A method for construction of a scaleable font database comprised of data stored in a compact form for retrieval in one of several usable forms common in digital typography. The method comprises the steps, for each text character of a font collection of: generating a digital representation of the character and identifying it with respect to character code and typeface design, determining segment endpoints and associations within a model of the character, measuring actual dimensions for the associations, and determining segment descriptors for each contour segment comprising the complete outline of the character.
