Dynamic Arabic Mathematical Fonts

This contribution describes a font family designed to meet the requirements of typesetting mathematical documents in an Arabic presentation. Thus, not only is the text written in an Arabic alphabet-based script, but specific symbols are used and mathematical expressions also spread out from right to left. Actually, this font family consists of two components: an Arabic mathematical font and a d...

Regression Modeling of Reader's Emotions Induced by Font Based Text Signals

In this work we presented a mathematical model for the readers’ emotional state responses triggered by font style, type and color. It is based on multiple regression analysis of the repeated measures from 45 students and for 35 textual stimuli using the Self-Assessment Manikin test. Based on the dimensional theory of emotions, we propose a model on how emotional dimensions Pleasure, Arousal, an...

Automatic ASCII Art Conversion of Binary Images Using Non-Negative Constraints

It is hard to avoid ASCII Art in today’s digital world, from the ubiquitous emoticons—;)—to the esoteric artistic creations that reside in many people’s e-mail signatures, everybody has come across ASCII art at some stage. The origins of ASCII art can be traced back to the days when computers had a high price, slow operating speeds and limited graphics capabilities, which forced computer progra...
