Allowing operating system access to non-standard fonts in a network document

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• creating a network document, the network document comprising an email communication that includes (a) a plurality of non-standard display characters for display on a body of the email communication and (b) embedded instruction code, wherein the embedded instruction code is adapted to cause at least one browsing computer to execute an exposure module,
• wherein creating a network document comprises embedding the plurality of non-standard display characters and an instruction code corresponding to the embedded instruction code in the network document,
• wherein the exposure module comprises computer-executable instructions to download and dynamically install a font package on the at least one browsing computer,
• wherein the font package comprises formatting information for displaying the plurality of non-standard display characters in a same way as formatting information for displaying and using of standard display characters of the at least one browsing computer,
• wherein the formatting information of the font package comprises formatting information defining configurations of the plurality of non-standard display characters in a standard font file format;
• wherein the standard font file format is one or more of a scalable outline format or stroke;
• wherein embedding the instruction code includes creating the computer-executable instructions comprising:
• creating a set of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) instructions, including a linked reference to the font package within the HTML instructions;
• and
• including the HTML instructions in the network document;
• and
• loading the network document onto a server, the server coupled to a network, the network comprising the at least one browsing computer.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• download an email communication to a browsing computer in response to a request for the email communication received by the processor from the browsing computer, the email communication comprising (a) at least one non-standard display character for display on a body of the email communication and (b) embedded instruction code, wherein the embedded instruction code is adapted to cause the browsing computer to execute computer-executable instructions adapted to dynamically download and expose a font package to an operating system of the browsing computer;
• download to the browsing computer Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) instructions embedded in the email communication, wherein the HTML instructions include the computer-executable instructions adapted to dynamically expose the font package to the operating system of the browsing computer, the font package comprising one or more non-standard font files containing formatting information for displaying and using of the at least one non-standard display character in a same way as formatting information for displaying and using of standard display characters by an operating system of the browsing computer, the formatting information of the one or more non-standard font files comprising formatting information that defines configurations of one or more of the at least one non-standard display character in a standard font file format, the standard font file format is one or more of a scalable outline format or stroke,
• wherein the HTML instructions include a linked reference to a font package, wherein the font package is separate from the HTML instructions.
