Infinifont: a Parametric Font Generation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a high-performance parametric font generation system for the creation and commercial supply of digital fonts, and in particular, for generating a wide variety of digital typefaces using a single compact representation of typographic knowledge and characteristics. Typographic feature detail can be added or removed, depending on the application. The system does not rely on master outlines for interpolation between or extrapolation from static typefaces. Our current implementation of this technology generates 50 Latin text characters per second on a 25-MHz 80386 platform without the use of a mathematics coprocessor.

Automatic Synthesis of Contrast Controlled Grayscale Characters with Component-Based Parametrisable Fonts
A few years ago, a perceptually-tuned grayscale character generation technique was developed in order to automatically syn~ thesize grayscale characters looking like manually-tuned pixmap characters. Weight and contrast controlled grayscale characters are obtained by grid-fitting the scaled character contours. However, this technique requires that hinting information be added to the outline fon...
متن کاملPerceptually-Tuned Grayscale Characters Based on Parametrisable Component Fonts
Our component-based parametrisable font system is a newly developed font description and reproduction technology. It incorporates for each basic character shape a software method responsible for the synthesis of an instance of that character. A given font is synthesized by providing appropriate font parameters to these character synthesis methods. Numerous concrete fonts can be derived by simpl...
متن کاملFeature-Based Design of Fonts Using Constraints
Computer-aided font design is still a very tedious and repetitive task. New font models and new functionalities presented by digital media further require a new method for design of font families and dynamic variable fonts. Current design paradigms are either outline based, offering low level operations, or parametric but non-visual programming. Parametric feature based design helps in creating...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of Script Font Ligatures Based on Curve Smoothness Optimization
The idea of type as a fixed geometrical object is shown to be inadequate for script types. The method presented creates ligatures between script font glyphs on-the-fly, i.e. as a part of the glyph rasterization process. This is done by manipulation of an existing font. So the process described here can be used to give existing fonts the intelligence to join characters correctly when being inter...
متن کاملParametric Assessment of a Novel Geothermal Multi-Generation Equipped with Dual-Organic Rankine Liquefied Natural Gas Regasification Cycle Using Advanced Exergy and Exergoeconomic-Based Analyses
This research is concerned with the design and analysis of a geothermal based multi-generation system by applying both conventional and advanced exergy and exergoeconomic concepts. The proposed energy system consists of a dual-organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to vaporize liquefied natural gas (LNG) and produce electricity. A proton exchange membrane(PEM) electrolyzer is employed to produce hydrogen ...
