Abstract
Methods and devices for animating variable fonts may include receiving a request to animate one or more glyphs of a variable font in a design space based on one or more animation parameters. The methods and devices may also include determining an animation path in the design space for the one or more glyphs based on the animation parameters and calculating a set of keyframes having respective keyframe positions along the animation path. The methods and devices may include constructing glyph outline data of the one or more glyphs for each keyframe in the set of keyframes. The methods and devices may include generating intermediate glyph outline data at one or more intermediate positions between the keyframe positions and transmitting the glyph outline data and the intermediate glyph outline data.
