Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for filtering a list of fonts based on the criteria that each font in the resulting filter supports every single glyph in an arbitrary array of glyphs. The array of glyphs may include one or more glyphs and can be, for example, user-defined (e.g., based on a user content selection within a given document, or entries made on a configuration page) and/or defined by a selected digital document or folder system (where only fonts that support all glyphs used within that entire document or folder system are listed). The techniques can be implemented, for instance, in digital content generation/editing systems that allow for a variety of different fonts and glyphs to be used. In any such cases, the system can be configured to allow for viewing a filtered font list, such that each and every glyph of interest is supported by each font presented in the list.
