STYLIZING TEXT BY PROVIDING ALTERNATE GLYPHS

Abstract:

Systems and methods provide for replacing a default glyph in text displayed by an application with a preferred glyph. A preferred glyph is selected and the character value, glyph ID and font of the preferred glyph are extracted from the preferred glyph. The character value of the preferred glyph is then mapped to the glyph ID and font, which is then stored in a priority glyph set. A user can then input text into a document normally using default glyphs of a font. If it is determined that a character value associated with a default glyph is included in the priority glyph set, the default glyph is replaced by a preferred glyph. Additionally, suggestion glyphs may be presented to a user based on, at least, the character value, glyph ID, and font of a selected glyph.
