1. A method for dynamic font support on a data capable communication device, the method consisting essentially of the steps of:
- requesting in a request transmission a digital communication for a data capable communication device from a content server, the digital communication comprising a textual content with an intended typeface, size and style, the request transmission comprising a plurality of make and model native attributes of the data capable communication device;
transmitting the plurality of make and model native attributes of the data capable communication device from the content server to a device attributes database;
evaluating the plurality of make and model native attributes of the data capable communication device with the textual content of the digital communication at the device attributes database to generate an attributes evaluation wherein the attributes evaluation determines if the data capable communication device can render the textual content of the digital communication using the plurality of make and model native attributes of the data capable communication device;
transmitting the attributes evaluation from the device attributes database to the content server;
determining at the content server a format for the textual content of the digital communication for transmission to the data capable communication device; and
transmitting the digital communication to data capable communication device in a format compatible with the plurality of make and model native attributes of the data capable communication device, the digital communication comprising the textual content with the intended typeface, size and style.
