Displaying scalable fonts on mobile

• Significant challenges
  –   Legibility and consistency across displays
  –   Text layout (height restriction)
  –   Memory footprint
  –   Clear display of East Asian characters (CJK)
  –   Support for multiple languages simultaneously

A closer look: scalability


• Bitmaps not required
• One font per typeface design
A closer look: on-screen text fidelity

• Characters need to fit in a defined space

Fonts in a Box technology keeps scaled text sized to fit within an em square
              ™
A closer look: intricately shaped East Asian text

• East Asian text needs to remain clear
• At small sizes, intricate shapes can blur




SmartHint technology keeps East Asian text scaled to small sizes clear and readable
          ™
A closer look: layout of complex scripts

Complex scripts are unique




  WorldType Layout Engine handles layout requirements of multiple languages
