Abstract

A package installer identifies a font package that facilitates rendering a font of a file being opened by a user based on font metadata downloaded from the remote server. The font metadata includes information identifying one or more font packages available for download from the remote server. Font metadata associated with each font package further indicates one or more fonts supported by the corresponding font package. A graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed to the user prompting whether the user desires to install the identified font package. The GUI further indicates that an additional font needs to be installed in order to view the file correctly. In response to an input from the user via the GUI, the package installer downloads the font package from the remote server for local installation.
