A method, computer program product and system for managing font resources using system independent references. A resource library may store a table, referred to herein as the “resource access table” that contains an entry for each base font resource. Each entry may include the following information on a base font resource: a native name, a file name, a unique identification, attributes, and possibly a link list used to identify any font resources that are linked to the base font resource. Since changes to the resource file such as updating a version of a font resource, changing the attributes of the font resource or changing the font resource's linked fonts, simply require an update to the resource access table, the data stream and the application program generating that data stream does not have to be changed.

A method and system for providing a printer for printing an encoded data stream. The stream includes a section of complex text data. The code is preferably Unicode, and the complex text data is preferably Unicode complex text. The printer includes a font, a text parser, and a layout engine. The font includes a plurality of glyphs. The text parser parses the data stream to determine the section of complex text data in the data stream. The layout engine is coupled to the text parser and with the font. The layout engine receives the section of complex text data from the text parser and determines at least one of the plurality of glyphs and glyph positions corresponding to the section of complex text data.

Methods and structures for improved font management providing for selection of one or more subsets of a selected typeface font in a font management program. A user is presented with information identifying one or more subsets of related code points in a selected typeface in a font management program. By selecting one or more subsets from the presented information, the user may reduce wasted presentation or management of code points in the typeface that are not presently of interest to the user. For example, when managing a Unicode typeface, a user may be prompted to select one or more language subsets prior to printing/displaying a matrix of the glyphs of the selected typeface. The presentation of glyphs or other code point information may then be limited to only the selected one or more subsets.

A method, computer program product and system for switching fonts without embedding font switching commands in the data stream (logical description of the print document) between a client and a print server. The client in a printing system may receive a character where the character is a modified character in a base font resource or is a character to be added to or deleted from the base font resource. The client may create a font resource that includes the received character. The client may further link the created font resource with the base font resource or vice-versa thereby allowing a user to use both the characters in the base font resource and in the linked font resource as if they were a single font resource without building or buying a special purpose font resource. Consequently, font switching commands are no longer necessary to be embedded in the data stream.

A method and system for installing a font from a source to a printing system is disclosed. The font has a plurality of names in a plurality of languages. The method and system include using an installer for installing the font from the source to the printing system and for allowing the plurality of names in the plurality of languages to be viewed after installation of the font. The method and system also include providing a graphical user interface for allowing a user to provide input to and receive information from the installer. In one aspect, the graphical user interface may also be used to display the fonts before and/or during installation. In another aspect, the printing system may be compatible with a different platform from the installer and/or the source.

Methods and systems are provided for a printer controller in a printing system to provide simple, flexible translation of received code points into any of multiple encodings. A code page data structure as generally practiced in the art is enhanced to provide translation from a first encoding of a received code point into any of multiple resultant encodings. In one aspect the enhanced code page data structure may include a mapping of a received code point into any number of Unicode scalar values. In another aspect, where no Unicode code point is available, the enhanced code page may provide a second mapping through existing code page and character name data structures to identify a corresponding glyph to be imaged on the printable medium.

Methods and systems for rendering code points on a presentation device with layout processing performed outside the presentation device. In one aspect, a layout processor translates one or more code points into a sequence of one or more glyph indices and corresponding positioning information. The glyph indices and corresponding positioning information may be included within a PTOCA control sequence. The glyph indices may be used by the presentation device to directly locate a corresponding glyph image in a font. The positioning information defines positioning of each glyph image so identified. Features and aspects hereof allow efficient layout of complex text in which glyph images and positioning may be dynamically determined in accordance with context or other attributes. The processing burden of such layout processing is removed from the presentation device without significantly increasing data transmission bandwidth between the presentation engine and external system utilizing the layout processor.

Three-transistor, four-terminal precision current source is switchable. Current is passed between two of the terminals in the presence of a switching signal on another terminal. While switched on, the current is regulated according to a reference voltage supplied to the remaining terminal.
