mobile application fonts call for help

Posted by Little Springs Design on April 18th, 2008 - 5:04 am

We’re putting together a listing of mobile-optimized fonts, both vector and bitmap. We’ll publish it on the wiki, but would like your help!

Please comment with resources or links or info if you have especial experience with:

  1. Font design for mobile screens

  2. Mobile font selection criteria

  3. Implementing fonts for mobile web sites

  4. Implementing fonts for mobile applications (looks like BREW and MIDP3 have font managers and MIDP2 does not)

  5. Mobile font rendering engines—especially how to use one if you are not a manufacturer!

  6. Bitmap fonts

(yes, we’ve got the Punchcut/QUALCOMM case study)
