Digital glyph overlap correction system implemented as part of a computing device is described. The system is configured to improve detection and correction of overlaps of digital glyphs by detecting on overlap of digital glyphs within a digital document, determining a glyph property causing the overlap, determining a change to the parameter of the glyph property that causes the overlap, generating a correction for the overlap based on the change to the parameter, and rendering the digital document as having the correction. The digital glyph overlap correction system corrects or facilitates correction of the overlap in an efficient and seamless manner, thereby improving the aesthetic appeal of content within the digital document.
