A method and system for displaying contents on a client terminal device received over a communication link, such as a computer network (i.e., the Internet) or a mobile telecommunications network, is disclosed. A request is received at a host terminal device from the client terminal device for selected content. A set of font images is then selected from a font library based on the determined frequency of selected font characteristics. The selected set of font images has fewer font images than the font library. The selected set of font images is preferably compressed and sent from the host terminal device to the client terminal device over the communication link. Next, the content, which contains content location information and font pattern codes, is preferably compressed and sent to the client terminal device over the communication link on a page-by-page basis. The content is then displayed at the client terminal device based on the selected set of font images, the content location information and the font pattern codes for the content. |
