Abstract
A system for consistent cross-platform text layout, in one embodiment, performs a computer-implemented method comprising the step of generating text layout information representing a layout of text on a scalable unit grid. The text layout information comprises glyph information for each glyph in a set of glyphs. The glyph information for each glyph in the set of glyphs comprises a) vector path information defining one or more contours of the each glyph, and b) a horizontal grid coordinate and a vertical grid coordinate identifying a location of the each glyph in the scalable unit grid. The method further includes the step of using the text layout information to render the set of glyphs in a pixel grid.
