Gregor Kaplan
Gregor Kaplan (Seattle, WA) has been a software engineer at Adobe since 2000. His work has focused on text, text layout applications and fonts, in addition to work on testing, validation and web services. Gregor was the first Adobe employee to join Typekit four weeks after their acquisition. His work on Dynamic Augmentation and the subsetting system has been the basis for all Typekit served fonts for since 2013. Speaker at ATypI 2016 in Warsaw on Supporting East Asian Web fonts with Dynamic Augmentation. He writes: In 2015 Typekit launched support for East Asian Web fonts using a technology called Dynamic Augmentation (DA). DA allows Typekit to generate font subsets then add in additional font content without data loss or the need to redownload a fully formed subset when content changes via user actions such as form fields, comment areas, or navigates to a new page as well as automated processes such as RSS feeds. This talk proposes to investigate the nature of text generally, how computers store and render it, and how those things relate to fonts. We use fonts everyday. We see them everywhere. But what is a font? How are they built? How can the structure of the data be manipulated to produce a losses, efficient mechanism to add content on the fly and eliminate performance impacts. |
