METHOD FOR FORMING MULTI-FONT LIBRARY AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING DIFFERENT FONTS USING MULTI-FONT LIBRARY

摘要

A method for forming a multi-font library can include extracting characters from a plurality of standard font libraries defined in existing international or national coding standards; configuring at least one customized code for each of the extracted characters, the number of customized codes of the each character is equal to the number of fonts of the character and the customized codes correspond to the fonts in a one-to-one manner; and storing the extracted characters and the customized codes thereof to form the multi-font library. An apparatus for forming a multi-font library, and a method and apparatus for displaying different fonts by using the multi-font library are correspondingly provided. The formed multi-font library is capable of storing and displaying characters using different fonts, and consumes less storage capacity as compared with the prior solution of displaying a plurality of fonts by using a plurality of font libraries.
