Abstract
A typography system modifies the shape of a subject character in a line of text based on neighboring characters to the left and right of the subject character. At least one font definition file comprises a plurality of character definitions that each represents one of the characters in the font. Each character definition includes a plurality of alternate forms that are each associated with at least one left neighboring character and at least one right neighboring character. A font adjustment module receives as an input a character to be output, at least one left neighboring character, and at least one right neighboring character. The font adjustment module then selects from the plurality of alternate forms a selected form that is associated with the at least one left neighboring character and the at least one right neighboring character. The font adjustment module then outputs the selected form of the character.
