Abstract
Method and apparatus for rendering characters on one or more output devices using multiple media fonts; one type of a multiple media font being a multiple color font ('MCF'). An MCF is a scalable font (a font used to render characters in multiple sizes and output device pixel resolutions) that enables the use of one or more types of color scheme (color design) data and character shape data in conjunction with one or more types of transformation data (shapes and visual looks) to render characters. Inventive multiple media fonts can be embodied for use: (a) in coordination with present operating systems; (b) as an annex to applications programs; (c) in coordination with, or as an integral part of, an operating-environment; and (d) over the Internet or other computer networks.
