ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a system for providing a hinted TrueType font is configured to provide a source character from a fully hinted TrueType font from which hints are to be transferred. The source character has multiple control points that are constrained by the hints. A target character is provided from a TrueType font to which hints from the source character are to be transferred. The target character has control points that will be constrained by the transferred hints. Hints associated with the source character and that refer to control points on the source character are transferred to hints associated with the target character and that refer to control points on the target character.
