SYSTEM INDEPENDENT FONT RENDERING

摘要

In various aspects, systems and methods according to certain embodiments do not require that fonts be available on each user's system. An on-demand font service provides any required font data to the client. Accordingly, no matter what client device, a document rendered with font data provided by the service will look the same across all platforms even if a substituted font is used.
