A document authoring application receives a text input including one or more alphanumeric characters. A glyph extraction module in the application determines graphical data describing glyphs of the alphanumeric characters. From the graphical data, the glyph extraction module extracts visual elements, each visual element including a color or an outline from the glyphs. The glyph extraction module generates a responsive font effect that includes the extracted visual element applied to one or more of an underline effect, a strikethrough effect, a bullet point effect, or a list dot effect. Responsive to a modification of the text input, the glyph extraction module extracts an additional visual element from an additional glyph associated with the modified text. The responsive font effect is modified to include the additional visual element. The user interface is updated to display the responsive font effect or the modified font effect.

Automatic generation of responsive font effects based on font elements

Systems and methods provide snap-line generation operations for live multi-path glyphs. In this regard, an attribute extraction component accesses a glyph description of a live multi-path glyph to determine and store several attributes related to at least one sub-path of the live multi-path glyph. The stored attributes are accessed by a snap-line generation component and used to determine whether an external object is moved near the live multi-path glyph. When moved near one another, a snap-line is generated along sub-path planes of the external object and the live multi-path glyph. Generated snap-lines are used to aid a user in aligning the two objects.

A glyph-aware method for underlining text in digital typography includes identifying first and second intersection coordinates where first and second bounds of an underline region of the text intersect with an outline path of a glyph in the text. Where such intersections occur, a portion of the outline path of the glyph between the first and second intersection coordinates is copied. First and second offset coordinates for the underline are determined by adding or subtracting an offset to the first and second intersection coordinates. A first underline outline path is constructed in the underline region, where the first underline outline path includes the copied of the outline path of the glyph between the first and second intersection coordinates. A display device renders an underline, at least partially, along the first underline outline path between the first and second offset coordinates in the underline region of the text.
