Abstract
A system and method for graphically encoding text. A textual data set comprising a plurality of encoded text characters that corresponding to at least one text character to be visually rendered is received. Based on the textual data set, a drawing instruction set is determined that has a respective drawing instruction to draw at least part of a glyph of each of the encoded text characters. Each at least one drawing instruction excludes an indication of a correspondence with an associated text character code, and each respective at least one drawing instruction for a specified text character excludes instructions to repeat other drawing instructions for other instances of the specified text character.
