TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for storing scaleable font data (430) in a compact form and retrieving it in one of several usable forms common in digital typography is presented.
Abstract: of EP0684582A method and apparatus for storing scaleable font data (430) in a compact form and retrieving it in one of several usable forms common in digital typography. The retrieval process can be influenced by parameters to produce not only the original typeface designs (514) that were compressed, but also variations on those typeface designs (514). Variations produced in this manner are related typeface designs (514) which therefore effectively add new fonts to the family originally stored. Individual character pixelmaps (360) and scaleable character outlines (212) are two of the forms which can be retrieved from the compressed font data (430). The storage and retrieval methods are designed so that the time needed to produce a single character pixelmap (360) from the internal form is less than that required for producing the same pixelmap from an uncompressed hinted outline font (470) stored in an industry-standard format.

TL;DR: In this article, the typeface feature tables are used to compare the first feature information inside the output information for which the output is requested from the information editing device with the second feature information and selecting the most similar typeface.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To easily specify a typeface at the time of requesting output and to select and output the typeface of an appropriate typeface design which gratifies the expectation of a user CONSTITUTION:An information editing device 10 is provided with a typeface specifying processing part 15 for specifying the feature of the typeface design of the typeface inside output information for which the output is to be requested as first feature information Information output devices 20 and 30 are provided with typeface feature tables 23 and 33 for storing more than one second feature information corresponding to the first feature information indicating the features of the typeface designs of the typefaces for more than one outputtable typefaces and typeface selection parts 22 and 32 for comparing the first feature information inside the output information for which the output is requested from the information editing device 10 with the second feature information and selecting the most similar typeface

TL;DR: In this paper, a typeface which closely resembles the typeface requested by a user was used to output a similar typeface to the user when the typefaces that are not stored in the output device side are included in the plural typeface required by the user.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To output the typeface which closely resembles the typeface requested by a user when a typeface that is not stored in the output device side is included in the plural typeface requested by the user CONSTITUTION:The device is provided with a typeface storage section 13 which stores plural typefaces that may be requested to be outputted, a typeface information table 12 which stores feature data of plural typefaces for every prescribed typeface category and a degree of similarity computing section 6 which computes the distance between the plural typeface sets being requested for output and the plural typeface sets that can be outputted based on the feature data Moreover, a typeface deciding section 5 makes a decision to replace the output requested plural typefaces with the typeface set which can be outputted and has a largest distance computed by the section 6 based on the presence and the absence of the typeface stored in the table 12, if at least one typeface among the plural typefaces being requested for output does not exist in the section 13, and an output processing section 7 which output processes the plural typefaces which are decided to be outputted are provided
