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...

Fluid documents alter their layout, typography, and other graphical characteristics in order to present supporting material in the context of the primary material that it annotates. The document surface acts as a canvas in which traditionally static elements may move and change smoothly to make room for additional information. This process is managed by a four-step negotiation architecture that...

For example, a woman who is described as 'gravida 2, para 2 (sometimes abbreviated to G2 P2) has had two pregnancies and two deliveries after 24 weeks, and a woman who is described as 'gravida 2, para 0' (G2 P0) has had two pregnancies, neither of which survived to a gestational age of 24 weeks. If they are both currently pregnant again, these women would have the obstetric résumé of G3 P2 and ...

In this paper a structured conceptual design is propounded, leading to objectoriented virtual schemata for the representation of sans serif fonts as StieltjesTartaglia intersections of various smooth structures in fake 4-space. The prospects for improved rendering of stems and counters are discussed. An Object-Oriented Methodology for Quality Control in the Production of Sans Serif Fonts G. BUZ...

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 fur...

Does bold emphasis facilitate the process of visual-word recognition? Abstract The study of the effects of typographical factors on lexical access has been rather neglected in the literature on visual-word recognition. Indeed, current computational models of visual-word recognition employ an unrefined letter feature level in their coding schemes. In a letter recognition experiment, Pelli, Burns...

Resumen En ésta Tesis se desarrolla un modelo para la transcripción musical polifónica mediante una aproximación de estados finitos y la aplicación de reglas de decisión basadas en heurísticas para la resolución de grupos de notas. El sistema de transcripción desarrollado se implementa mediante un diagrama de estados finitos que representan grupos de notas, es decir, conjunto de notas que suena...
