System and method for output of multipart documents

摘要

A system and method of identifying the matching or best-matching font to output text having a sequence of indeterminate languages are presented. Today's operating systems do not provide the native tools and functions to easily display text of unknown language or multiple languages. The complexity of any underlying code that handles a multilingual display is sharply increased due to the text being segmented into multiple text runs. The invention employs character set engine that provides necessary character set guessing functionality, as well as an enumerator module to build a linked list of suitable output fonts to display text from an arbitrary language, and multilingual text. Output can be granted by traversing that list for each portion of the multipart text.
