OpenType Features

• Can turn any feature on or off, apply them individually, and get the combined output
• Supports important OpenType tables necessary for line layout: GDEF, GPOS, and GSUB *
• Supports kerning information in OpenType fonts
• Supports contextual substitution for scripting languages
• Supports glyph substitution (GSUB)
• Supports GSUB settings for script, language, and feature tags

* The Glyph Definition table (GDEF) supplements the GPOS and GSUB tables for positioning and substituting glyphs. The GPOS table (Glyph Positioning) provides control over glyph placement for each script and language system in a font. The Glyph Substitution table (GSUB) contains information for substituting glyphs to render the scripts and language systems supported in a font.

• Supports industry-standard screen color formats including monochrome, RGB, and BGR
• Supports 8 different pixel depths for R,G, and B color in RGB or BGR format
• Can change foreground (text) and background colors independently

• Grayscale (anti-aliasing)
• LCD optimized

High-Quality Output
Because Bitstream Panorama is a layer above Font Fusion, you get all the rich features that Font Fusion supports, including the ability to:

• Render all industry-standard font formats
• Render compact formats, such as PFR and stroke-based CJK fonts
• Deliver high-quality output to your device
• Integrate a small, fast, and portable text composition and font rendering solution for your device

• Bitstream Panorama is highly configurable: build it the way you want it, depending on your trade-offs between code size and feature support
• Easily integrate Bitstream Panorama with Font Fusion
• Use any OpenType features you want, and turn off the features you don't want
• Choose glyphs to substitute on the fly
• Validate fonts before loading them into an application
• Get glyph data in one of three ways: render the character string directly via a shared buffer (useful for applications where speed and performance are most important); get a glyph iterator and color values of inked pixels (useful for small fonts and memory-constrained devices); copy the glyph data and paste it directly in the application (useful for blit operations)
