Improving the Performance of Text Rendering using Font Type Conversion

Abstract

Printers and PDF are part of our day to day life; enhanced performance of a printer will benefit the users by great deal. Type conversion method proposed to improve performance by overcoming limitation of applications that render characters as shape rather than text which slows down the printer as a PDF file is composed of thousands of character. Rendering of character as shape will increase spool size of the printer since instruction related to every single character construction has to be stored such as number of, path construction commands(moveto, curveto and so on) along with their co-ordinate points. Proposed paper deals with the method to convert subset embedded font in to complete font file say TTF, by adding essential missing data and then rendering them using language framework fonts which results in rendering as text instead of shape, .ultimately reducing the printer spool size and enhances the performance of application.
