Document processing method and device

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a document processing method and device, which relate to the technical field of computer application and are used for saving resources needed by document processing. The document processing method disclosed by the invention comprises the following steps of: determining a character font unique identification of an embedded character font in a document to be processed; finding a character font case matched with the determined character font unique identification in a local character font library; and processing the document to be processed according to the found character font case. With the adoption of the document processing method and device, disclosed by the invention, the resources needed by the document processing can be effectively saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer information processing, in particular to a document processing method and device. Background technique [0002] A font refers to a group of glyphs that share a common style, and glyphs are the visual representations of characters. A font instance refers to a font data entity, including many glyph data and some metadata, usually encapsulated in a font file, such as a .ttf file. Metadata includes the font instance's name, developer, version number, and more. There is a one-to-many relationship between fonts and font instances, and the same font may appear as multiple different font instances. The same font can be made into font instances using different font technologies (such as True Type, Type1, Open Type, etc.). Or the same font has been trimmed so that different font instances include different amounts of glyph data. This is called font subset technology. The uncommonly used Chinese characters have b...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when the same document is processed on multiple different document processing devices, the method of specifying fonts by font names has many disadvantages, for example: first, the mapping from font names to fonts is not unique, because many actual Different fonts have the same name, so on different document processing devices, the display effect of the text assigned to the same font is not the same

Second, the specified font may not be available on the document processing device to display the corresponding text in that font, and a substitute font that is not similar enough may be used to display the text

[0009] When using embedded font technology, the data volume of document files and network traffic requirements may be greatly increased

At the same time, many document files on a computer may use equivalent embedded font instances. If each document file contains an equivalent font instance, disk storage space is wasted; and when multiple documents are displayed at the same time, these Equivalent font instances are repeatedly loaded into memory and parsed, wasting resources on document processing devices
