1. A system for providing fine granularity font selection for rendering text data, comprising using a computing device to perform steps for:

  • receiving a text data input;

    determining Unicode code-points corresponding to each character of the text data input;

    parsing the text data input into a plurality of runs of one or more characters by sequentially comparing the Unicode code-points of each character of the text data input to entries in a lookup table corresponding to a set of one or more fonts;

    wherein the lookup table specifically identifies the individual glyphs included in each font relative to the corresponding Unicode code-point of the character corresponding to each glyph;

    assigning a font to each run of characters, wherein each character in each run is supported by a corresponding glyph in the assigned font, in accordance with the entries in the lookup table; and

    rendering each run of characters using the corresponding glyphs of the assigned font for each run to render the individual characters of each run of characters.
