Abstract: Data tables that are required for the proper processing of font glyphs are automatically synthesized if they do not form part of an original font definition. The synthesized tables are stored in an annex file that is associated with the font, rather than being incorporated into the font definition. As a result, the integrity of the original font data is maintained, and does not adversely affect font protection systems that are based upon font data.

Abstract translation: 如果不是原始字体定义的一部分，则自动合成数据表，以便正确处理字体字形。 合成的表存储在与字体相关联的附件文件中，而不是合并到字体定义中。 结果，保持原始字体数据的完整性，并且不会对基于字体数据的字体保护系统产生不利影响。

Abstract: A font synchronization system ensures that fonts which are specified in the creation of a document are the same as those that are employed in the subsequent handling and printing of the document. Each font that is utilized within a document, or available in a printing system, is characterized by a font reference that unambiguously identifies significant features of the font. Font references associated with a document are compared with those available on a computer resource, to see if two fonts are the same in all significant respects. If the fonts are not the same, the comparison process identifies the areas of difference between them, so that a determination can be made whether such differences are critical to the appearance of the document. A number of font references are encapsulated within a font profile, to identify the fonts that are available for use within a particular environment, such as a service bureau. The font profiles can be employed by document creators to limit their choices for fonts to those which will be ultimately available when the document is printed.

Abstract translation: 字体同步系统确保在创建文档时指定的字体与随后处理和打印文档中使用的字体相同。 在文档中使用的或在打印系统中可用的每种字体的特征在于字体引用，其明确地标识字体的重要特征。 与文档相关联的字体引用与计算机资源上可用的字体引用进行比较，以查看两种字体在所有重要方面是否相同。 如果字体不一样，则比较过程识别它们之间的差异区域，从而可以确定这样的差异对于文档的外观是至关重要的。 许多字体引用被封装在字体配置文件中，以识别可用于在特定环境中使用的字体，例如服务局。 文档创建者可以使用字体配置文件来限制字体对于打印文档时最终可用的字体选择。

Abstract: A method for grouping glyphs or characters together by certain characteristics, and then mechanically performing hinting on each group based on the hand-done hinting of an avatar character or glyph in each class, and then reusing this hinting for other glyphs or characters is disclosed.

Abstract translation: 一种通过某些特征将字形或字符组合在一起的方法，然后基于每个类中的化身字符或字形的手工提示，然后对其他字形或字符重复使用该提示，公开了对每个组机械地执行提示。
