Google's PNG Images
In 2013, Google proposed its solution for color fonts based on PNG-format images for the glyphs of a font. While this is great because of the number of images is only limited by one's creativity, there is a scaling problem before pixelization will be visible. In the Opentype CBDT/CBLC tables, the images are stored, bloating up the font file. The standard uncolored glyph table, GLYF, should not be present. Hence there is no way to fall back if CBDT/CBLC is not supported. As of 2014, it is already implemented in FreeType, which is used on Android and Linux. |
