Welcome to Altia Design 11.4
Altia Design 11.4 delivers tremendous power for developing GUIs for all over the globe with new Font Modules!
Font Modules provide GUI developers with tools to achieve the best looking, best performing text in the smallest footprint on their embedded device. No matter if teams are developing displays in Arabic, Hebrew, Swedish or Swahili, this new product provides Altia customers with the capability to create beautiful, legible GUIs for a worldwide market.

What are Font Modules?
Font Modules are carefully crafted combinations of Font Engine and Shaping Engines used by Altia Design and DeepScreen to deliver true WYSIWYG experience on embedded hardware. They help GUI developers control the appearance, memory size and performance of fonts that will display on their embedded targets.
Altia Font Modules offer these key benefits:
- Support for advanced features such as font linking and compressed fonts
- Flexible royalty structures by pulling in open source or commercially supported solutions
- Lightweight integrations for low end hardware
- Full-featured combinations for the most complex font needs
- Support for every written language
