4. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more computer processors, a scanned image of a source text, the scanned image comprising a first glyph and a second glyph, wherein the first glyph and the second glyph correspond to a first instance and a second instance of a character in the source text, respectively, and wherein the first instance of the character appears in a first word of the source text and the second instance of the character appears in a second word of the source text; generating, by the one or more computer processors, an image representative of each of the first glyph and the second glyph; determining, by the one or more computer processors, a first positional reference line indicative of a default position of a first character along a horizontal or vertical baseline, wherein the default position indicates an origin of the first character; determining, by the one or more computer processors, a second positional reference line indicative of an alignment of characters forming the first word and a third positional reference line indicative of an alignment of characters forming the second word; determining, by the one or more computer processors, a first distance value between the first positional reference line and the second positional reference line; assigning, by the one or more computer processors, a first numerical identifier to the first glyph; generating, by the one or more computer processors, first glyph data associated with the first glyph, the first glyph data comprising the first numerical identifier and the first distance value; generating, by the one or more computer processors, a font file configured to be executed by a renderer to render the source text, the font file comprising the image and the first glyph data; and generating, by the one or more computer processors, a digitally renderable format for the source text based at least in part on the font file and the scanned image.
4. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more computer processors, a scanned image of a source text, the scanned image comprising a first glyph and a second glyph, wherein the first glyph and the second glyph correspond to a first instance and a second instance of a character in the source text, respectively, and wherein the first instance of the character appears in a first word of the source text and the second instance of the character appears in a second word of the source text; generating, by the one or more computer processors, an image representative of each of the first glyph and the second glyph; determining, by the one or more computer processors, a first positional reference line indicative of a default position of a first character along a horizontal or vertical baseline, wherein the default position indicates an origin of the first character; determining, by the one or more computer processors, a second positional reference line indicative of an alignment of characters forming the first word and a third positional reference line indicative of an alignment of characters forming the second word; determining, by the one or more computer processors, a first distance value between the first positional reference line and the second positional reference line; assigning, by the one or more computer processors, a first numerical identifier to the first glyph; generating, by the one or more computer processors, first glyph data associated with the first glyph, the first glyph data comprising the first numerical identifier and the first distance value; generating, by the one or more computer processors, a font file configured to be executed by a renderer to render the source text, the font file comprising the image and the first glyph data; and generating, by the one or more computer processors, a digitally renderable format for the source text based at least in part on the font file and the scanned image. 14. The method of claim 4 , further comprising rendering the source text on a display based at least in part on the scanned image and the font file.
