Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for determining a glyph and a font from a vector outline by applying various combinations of hash-based querying, path-descriptor matching, or anchor-point matching. For example, the disclosed systems can select a subset of candidate glyphs for a vector outline based on (i) comparing hash keys of candidate glyphs with a point-order-agnostic hash key corresponding to the vector outline and (ii) comparing a path descriptor for a primary path of the vector outline to path descriptors corresponding to candidate glyphs. By further comparing anchor points between the vector outline and the subset of candidate glyphs, the disclosed systems can select both a glyph and a font matching the vector outline.
