30. A method of creating a text string lookup table, comprising: storing, in a computer memory at memory positions defining the text string lookup table, a set of glyphs, wherein each glyph is stored as a field of pixels defining a displayable image associated with a text character such that multiple pixels are stored in the memory for each glyph; and storing, in the computer memory at memory positions defining the text string lookup table, one or more sections of encoding data, wherein each section of encoding data defines a text string of two or more text characters to be rendered in an image and wherein each section of encoding data includes two or more sets of character encoding data with each set of character encoding data defining a text character of the text string and including first encoding data defining information about a position of a text character in the text string from which the center position of the text character can be determined and second encoding data defining a reference to one of the glyphs to define the identity of the text character in the text string.

The method of claim 30 , wherein storing the second encoding data of one of the text characters of one of the sections of sets of encoding data refers to the same glyph as the second encoding data of a different one of the text characters of the one of the sections of sets of encoding data.
