Abstract

Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) of document viewers have gained attention with the increase on the number of mobile applications that uses it. However, mobile devices are still limited in relation to the available functionalities for text exhibition. Other limitations of these devices are the memory size, processing capacity and battery. This paper describes a framework for text visualization that safely manages memory traffic for mobile applications that intensively use bitmap font files, such as a document viewer. The main goal is to diversify the functionalities concerning to text exhibition in mobile devices, but also minimizing memory traffic.
