How can automated typesetting achieve the highest standards of craft typography?

چکیده
This paper compares high-quality craft typography with the state of the art in automated typesetting. The first part discusses several typographical conventions which cannot be implemented by means of any formatting model currently in use. The second part explains why the current paradigms of computerized typesetting will not serve for high-quality formatting and suggests directions for the further research necessary to improve the quality of computer generated layout.

An extensible approach to high-quality multilingual type setting
We propose to create and study a new model for the micro-typography part of automated multilingual typesetting. This new model will support quality typesetting for a number of modern and ancient scripts. The major innovations in the proposal are: the process is refined into four phases, each dependent on a multidimensional tree-structured context summarizing the current linguistic and cultural ...
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...
متن کاملTypesetting CJK Languages with Omega
This paper describes how to typeset Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages with Omega, a 16-bit extension of Donald Knuth’s TEX. In principle, Omega has no difficulty in typesetting those East Asian languages because of its internal representation using 16-bit Unicode. However, people have not kept an eye on Omega because of the difficulties in adapting it to CJK typesetting rules and fo...

متن کاملContextual Typesetting of Mathematical Symbols Taking Care of Optical Scaling
Typesetting of mathematical formulae has conflicting requirements: on the one hand, optical scaling is a need for large symbols; in the other hand, large symbols are made of composite items that are neither easily nor nicely put together. In this paper it is shown that such large symbols should be computed at print time so that they reach the quality of metal typesetting. An implementation of s...
