Real-Time Grid Fitting of Typographic Outlines
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an auto-hinting algorithm to grid fit glyph outlines. Instead of generating new hints for font files or font editors, the computations are done in real-time while rendering the glyph, posing strong efficiency constraints. A freely available implementation can be found in the FreeType font rendering library.

Capturing Outlines of Planar Generic Images by Simultaneous Curve Fitting and Sub-division
In this paper, a new technique has been designed to capture the outline of 2D shapes using cubic B´ezier curves. The proposed technique avoids the traditional method of optimizing the global squared fitting error and emphasizes the local control of data points. A maximum error has been determined to preserve the absolute fitting error less than a criterion and it administers the process of curv...
متن کاملReverse Digital Typography
Reverse engineering of typefaces has been an active research area of digital typography. However, past research works are limited to typographic parameters extraction and curve fitting, and no reverse-engineering equivalent of any classical digital typesetting software (e.g. METAFONT compiler, LTEX package) exist to date. Interestingly, the rise of cloud computing has made large scale reverse t...

This paper focuses on the Firm Real-Time requirements of Time-Critical Wide Area Measurement and Control systems, that are expected to play a major role in future Smart Grids. It analyses the operation of these systems and identifies their communication traffic characteristics. It shows that these characteristics are significantly different to those of the current Near Real-Time Wide Area Measu...
متن کاملCharacterization of Time-varying Typographic Forms Itj a Temporal Typography Characterization of Time-varying Typographic Forms Characterization of Time-varying Typographic Forms
Text is no longer limited to a static presentation in electronic communication. Typographic form can change in size, color, and position according to a reader's interaction in real time. This thesis proposes temporal typography as an area of study which incorporates the dynamic visual treatment of written language. Presently, graphic design lacks ways to conceputalize and describe temporal typo...
متن کاملExploring the Challenging Issues with Synchrophasor Technology Deployments in Electric Power Grids
Synchrophasor technology is fast being deployed in electric power grids all over the world and is fast changing the way the grids are managed. This trend is to continue until the entire power grids are fully connected so they can be monitored and controlled in real-time. Much achievement has been made in the synchrophasor technology development and deployment, and there are still much more to b...
