Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for generating a customized lightweight web font corresponding to web content and providing the lightweight font to a requesting client device to enable the client device to render the web content using the customized lightweight font. The customized lightweight font only includes glyphs corresponding to those characters that appear in the web content. The file size of the lightweight web font is substantially less than the file size of the complete web font, and thus, there is substantially less latency and overhead associated with downloading the lightweight web font as compared to downloading the entire web font. A glyph demanding assessment can be performed to identify a set of characters contained in the web content such that corresponding glyphs can be extracted from the web font and used to generate the customized lightweight web font.
