  • Uniform Rendering of XML Encoded Mathematical Content with Opentype Fonts
    i \eutypon24-25" | 2011/1/21 | 8:58 | page 11 | #15 i i i Εὔτυπon, τεῦχος 24-25 — >Okt¸brioc/October 2010 11 Uniform Rendering of XML Encoded Mathematical Content with OpenType Fonts Apostolos Syropoulos 366, 28th October Str. GR-671 00 Xanthi Greece E-mail: asyropoulos at yahoo dot com The new OpenType MATH font table contains important information that can be used to correctly and uniformly render mathematical con- tent (e.g., mathematical formulae, equations, etc.). Until now, all sys- tems in order to render XML encoded mathematical content employed some standard algorithms together with some standard sets of TrueType and/or Type 1 fonts, which contained the necessary glyphs. Unfortu- nately, this approach does not produce uniform results because certain parameters (e.g., the thickness of the fraction line, the scale factor of superscripts/subscripts, etc.) are system-dependant, that is, their exact values will depend on the particular setup of a given system. Fortunately, the new OpenType MATH table can be used to remedy this situation. In particular, by extending renderers so as to be able to render mathemat- ical contents with user-specified fonts, the result will be uniform across systems and platforms. In other words, the proposed technology would allow mathematical content to be rendered the same way ordinary text is rendered across platforms and systems. 1 Introduction The OpenType font format is a new cross-platform font file format developed jointly by Adobe and Microsoft. OpenType fonts may contain glyphs with ei- ther cubic B´eziersplines (used in PostScript fonts) or with quadratic B´ezier splines (used in TrueType fonts).
