Abstract

A system includes a computing device that includes a memory configured to store instructions. The computing device also includes a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations that include receiving information that indicates whether an asset presenter being executed by a computing device is capable of presenting one or more colored fonts of a web asset. In response to receiving the information, sending color font information to the computing device to allow content of the web asset represented in colored fonts to be presented by the computing device.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving information that requests one or more colored fonts of a web asset for an asset presenter being executed by a computing device; and

in response to receiving the information, sending color font information to the computing device to allow content of the web asset represented in colored fonts to be presented by the computing device, wherein the color font information is provided by an executable file and a color font file, or, an executable file that includes content of the color font file, sending the color font information includes sending glyph spacing information for layering with the color font information, the glyph spacing information being absent visual information.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the executable file, when executed by the computing device, adjusts a document object model.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein adjusting the document object model includes replicating glyphs of the web asset in a node-based structure representation of the document object model.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3, wherein adjusting the document object model includes assigning one or more colors to the replicated glyphs.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the color font file includes a font subset for presenting the content of the web asset.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the color font file includes scalable vector graphics.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein positioning of the glyph spacing information as presented by the computing device is adjustable based upon user interaction.

8. A system comprising:

a computing device comprising;

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising;

receiving information that requests one or more colored fonts of a web asset for an asset presenter being executed by a computing device; and

in response to receiving the information, sending color font information to the computing device to allow content of the web asset represented in colored fonts to be presented by the computing device, wherein the color font information is provided by an executable file and a color font file, or, an executable file that includes content of the color font file, sending the color font information includes sending glyph spacing information for layering with the color font information, the glyph spacing information being absent visual information.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the executable file, when executed by the computing device, adjusts a document object model.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein adjusting the document object model includes replicating glyphs of the web asset in a node-based structure representation of the document object model.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein adjusting the document object model includes assigning one or more colors to the replicated glyphs.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the color font file includes a font subset for presenting the content of the web asset.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the color font file includes scalable vector graphics.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein positioning of the glyph spacing information as presented by the computing device is adjustable based upon user interaction.

15. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions that are executable by a processing device, and upon such execution cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving information that requests one or more colored fonts of a web asset for an asset presenter being executed by a computing device; and

in response to receiving the information, sending color font information to the computing device to allow content of the web asset represented in colored fonts to be presented by the computing device, wherein the color font information is provided by an executable file and a color font file, or, an executable file that includes content of the color font file, sending the color font information includes sending glyph spacing information for layering with the color font information, the glyph spacing information being absent visual information.

16. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 15, wherein the executable file, when executed by the computing device, adjusts a document object model.

17. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 16, wherein adjusting the document object model includes replicating glyphs of the web asset in a node-based structure representation of the document object model.

18. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 17, wherein adjusting the document object model includes assigning one or more colors to the replicated glyphs.

19. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 15, wherein the color font file includes a font subset for presenting the content of the web asset.

20. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 15, wherein the color font file includes scalable vector graphics.

21. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 15, wherein positioning of the glyph spacing information as presented by the computing device is adjustable based upon user interaction.

22. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving information that indicates whether an asset presenter being executed by a computing device is capable of presenting one or more colored fonts of a web asset; and

in response to receiving the information, sending color font information to the computing device to allow content of the web asset represented in colored fonts to be presented by the computing device, sending the color font information includes sending glyph spacing information for layering with the color font information, the glyph spacing information being absent visual information.

23. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein sending the font information includes sending an executable file to the computing device.

24. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein sending the font information includes sending a color font file to the computing device.

25. The computer-implemented method of claim 24, wherein the color font file includes scalable vector graphics.

26. The computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein positioning of the glyph spacing information as presented by the computing device is adjustable based upon user interaction.

27. A system comprising:

a computing device comprising;

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising;

receiving information that indicates whether an asset presenter being executed by a computing device is capable of presenting one or more colored fonts of a web asset; and
