ABSTRACT

Document viewer and browser applications have gained attention in the mobile scenario due to the improvement on accessibility and portability of different kinds of information. However, mobile devices are still limited in relation to memory size, processing capacity and battery. Due to these limitations, software engineers that develop mobile applications must find ways to adequate them to the available. In this paper, we describe a strategy to safely manage memory traffic for mobile applications that intensively use bitmap font files, such as a document viewer.
