Abstract

See full text

A method and system for automatically selecting a font so that a user sees the characters and fonts expected to appear in a document. The preferred embodiment of the invention employs a first process when a character, or string of characters, is entered into a text stream. If the character is missing from the font specified in the current typing style, the process selects a font that can display the character. For example, if the code for a '.SIGMA.' is inserted before 'n/2' the process would automatically style the code with a font that could display the '.SIGMA.'. Styling a character means that the character will always have a font style associated with the character.
