| Symbian Smartphone Show 2006 Monotype Imaging Inc., provider of font and imaging technologies worldwide, is leading a Textual Revolution at booth 33 at the Symbian Smartphone Show, 17-18 October, at the Excel Center in London. Demonstrations will feature scalable, multilingual type in rich, multimedia applications powered by SVG mobile technology from Ikivo AB. Monotype Imaging will also launch its latest release of fonts for enhancing cell phone communications. At the Smartphone Show, Monotype Imaging, a Symbian Platinum Partner, will launch its ESQ Mobile (Enhanced Screen Quality) brand of fonts, which carries a growing roster of typefaces fine-tuned for high-quality display on mobile phones. In May, Monotype Imaging introduced the industry's first suite of mobile fonts for content and user interfaces. Since then, the number of ESQ Mobile fonts has increased from 13 to more than 200. Mobile phone demonstrations at the Monotype Imaging and Ikivo booths will provide attendees a preview on how rich, multimedia content and UIs can be personalized, branded and enhanced through scalable type, all made possible through Monotype Imaging's iType font engine, a font rendering subsystem for memory-constrained devices, and WorldType Layout Engine, a modular library for composing, positioning and rendering multilingual text, including complex scripts such as Hindi and Arabic. For Smartphone Show demonstrations, both the iType font engine and WorldType Layout Engine have been incorporated into Ikivo's SVG Player, a multimedia client framework for low- to high-end feature phones, and Ikivo's Animator content authoring tool, which gives developers access to the client framework environment within the content creation workflow process. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Exhibition News :: home page |
