Harmonizing Font Contours

A system comprising:

• a computing device comprising:
• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• receiving data representing a character in multiple variants of a font;
• for each font variant, dividing the character into segments;
• identifying one of the segments, for each font variant, as representing an equivalent portion of the character;
• determining one minimum number of curve control points for representing each of the identified segments;
• determining a representation of each of the identified segments that uses the determined one minimum number of control points;
• and
• storing data that represents the determined representations of the identified segments for later retrieval of the character in one or more of the multiple variants of the font.

One or more computer readable media storing instructions that are executable by a processing device, and upon such execution cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving data representing a character in multiple variants of a font;
• for each font variant, dividing the character into segments;
• identifying one of the segments, for each font variant, as representing an equivalent portion of the character;
• determining one minimum number of curve control points for representing each of the identified segments;
• determining a representation of each of the identified segments that uses the determined one minimum number of control points;
• and
• storing data that represents the determined representations of the identified segments for later retrieval of the character in one or more of the multiple variants of the font.
