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 represents a font and a portion of textual content of an asset. Operations also include identifying one or more typographical features supported by a scalable font format that are capable of being applied to the portion of the textual content based upon the received information representing the font and the portion of textual content of the asset. Operations also include presenting, by the computing device, an exclusive set of selectable representations. Each of the selectable representations represents one of the one or more identified typographical features supported by the scalable font format for initiating application of the corresponding typographical feature to the textual content of the asset.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving information that represents a font and a portion of textual content of an asset;

identifying one or more typographical features supported by a scalable font format that are capable of being applied to the portion of the textual content based upon the received information representing the font and the portion of textual content of the asset; and

presenting, by a computing device, an exclusive set of selectable representations, wherein each of the selectable representations represents one of the one or more identified typographical features supported by the scalable font format for initiating application of the corresponding typographical feature to the textual content of the asset.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the font is selected through interactions with an editor.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein a portion of the editor is executed by the computing device.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein a portion of the editor is executed remote from the computing device.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein a portion of the editor is executed by the computing device and remote from the computing device.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the portion of textual content is selected through interactions with an editor.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the exclusive set of selectable representations is visually highlighted.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the one or more typographical features supported by a scalable font format are OpenType compatible.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

producing one or more files that include instructions for representing the one or more typographical features supported by the scalable font format applied to the textual content.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

presenting another set of selectable representations, each representing a variant of one of the one or more identified typographical features supported by the scalable font format for selecting a particular variant of the corresponding typographical feature.

11. 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 represents a font and a portion of textual content of an asset;

identifying one or more typographical features supported by a scalable font format that are capable of being applied to the portion of the textual content based upon the received information representing the font and the portion of textual content of the asset; and

presenting, by the computing device, an exclusive set of selectable representations, wherein each of the selectable representations represents one of the one or more identified typographical features supported by the scalable font format for initiating application of the corresponding typographical feature to the textual content of the asset.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the font is selected through interactions with an editor.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein a portion of the editor is executed by the computing device.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein a portion of the editor is executed remote from the computing device.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein a portion of the editor is executed by the computing device and remote from the computing device.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the portion of textual content is selected through interactions with an editor.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the exclusive set of selectable representations is visually highlighted.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the one or more typographical features supported by a scalable font format are OpenType compatible.

19. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor executes the instructions to perform operations comprising:

producing one or more files that include instructions for representing the one or more typographical features supported by the scalable font format applied to the textual content.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor executes the instructions to perform operations comprising:

presenting another set of selectable representations, each representing a variant of one of the one or more identified typographical features supported by the scalable font format for selecting a particular variant of the corresponding typographical feature.

21. One or more 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 represents a font and a portion of textual content of an asset;

identifying one or more typographical features supported by a scalable font format that are capable of being applied to the portion of the textual content based upon the received information representing the font and the portion of textual content of the asset; and

presenting, by a computing device, an exclusive set of selectable representations, wherein each of the selectable representations represents one of the one or more identified typographical features supported by the scalable font format for initiating application of the corresponding typographical feature to the textual content of the asset.

22. The computer readable media of claim 21, wherein the font is selected through interactions with an editor.

23. The computer readable media of claim 22, wherein a portion of the editor is executed by the computing device.

24. The computer readable media of claim 22, wherein a portion of the editor is executed remote from the computing device.

25. The computer readable media of claim 22, wherein a portion of the editor is executed by the computing device and remote from the computing device.

26. The computer readable media of claim 21, wherein the portion of textual content is selected through interactions with an editor.

27. The computer readable media of claim 21, wherein the exclusive set of selectable representations is visually highlighted.

28. The computer readable media of claim 21, wherein the one or more typographical features supported by a scalable font format are OpenType compatible.

29. The computer readable media of claim 21, wherein execution cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

producing one or more files that include instructions for representing the one or more typographical features supported by the scalable font format applied to the textual content.

30. The computer readable media of claim 21, wherein execution cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

presenting another set of selectable representations, each representing a variant of one of the one or more identified typographical features supported by the scalable font format for selecting a particular variant of the corresponding typographical feature.
