Systems and methods for design aware replacement font suggestions

A method comprising:

• generating a first image based on document layout data comprising at least one text frame populated with a text string rendered using a first font, wherein the at least one text frame defines bounds within a document layout within which the text string is displayed;
• generating a plurality of second images of the text string, wherein individual second images of the plurality of second images render the text string, within the bounds defined by the at least one text frame, using a respective second font based on font data comprising a plurality of font identifiers and at least one dimension corresponding to a size of the at least one text frame;
• determining a ranking for each of the plurality of font identifiers based at least on a pixel-wise alignment between the at least one text frame as rendered in the first image and at least one text frame as rendered in the individual second images of the plurality of second images;
• and
• causing a user interface to display a listing of fonts in an order, wherein the order is based on a similarity of the at least one text frame as rendered in the first image and the at least one text frame as rendered in the individual second images as determined from the ranking for each of the plurality of font identifiers.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions, that when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• generating a first image based on document layout data comprising a text frame populated with a text string rendered using a first font, wherein the text frame defines bounds within a document layout within which the text string is displayed;
• generating a plurality of second images of the text string, wherein individual second images of the plurality of second images render the text string, within the bounds defined by the text frame, using a respective second font identified by font data comprising a plurality of font identifiers;
• determining a ranking for the plurality of font identifiers based on a similarity evaluation between the text frame as rendered in the first image and the text frame as rendered in the individual second images and further based on a text frame overset evaluation applied to the individual second images;
• and
• causing a user interface to display a ranked listing of fonts in an order, wherein the order is based on a similarity of the text frame as rendered in the first image and the text frame as rendered in the individual second images as determined from the ranking for the plurality of font identifiers.
