Abstract
A system includes a computing device that includes a memory configured to store instructions. The system also includes a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations that include receiving data representing a character in multiple variants of a font. Operations also include, for each font variant, dividing the character into segments, identifying one of the segments, for each font variant, as representing an equivalent portion of the character, and, determining one minimum number of curve control points for representing each of the identified segments. Operations also include determining a representation of each of the identified segments that uses the determined one minimum number of control points, and, storing data that represents the determined representations of the identified segments for later retrieval of the character in one or more of the multiple variants of the font.
