Language input is highly variable; phonological, lexical, and syntactic features vary systematically across different speakers, geographic regions, and social contexts. Previous evidence shows that language users are sensitive to these contextual changes and that they can rapidly adapt to local regularities. For example, listeners quickly adjust to accented speech, facilitating comprehension. I...

This study examined passages containing the fonts, Times New Roman, Courier New, Comic Sans MS, and Arial at 12and 14-point sizes for differences in perceptions of ease of reading, attractiveness, desire to be used in schoolbooks, as well as general font preference when read by children. A significant main effect of font type was found in that Comic Sans MS was perceived as being the easiest to...

The font selection menu in most application software’s is arranged alphabetically; in recent years one can also see the split menu approach being used. An alphabetical arrangement presupposes that the users are aware of the font characteristics and usage scenario through its name. Unless the font name specifies it; the scheme does not in any which way indicate the morphological features or the ...

A single-subject alternating treatment design was used to investigate the extent to which a specialized dyslexia font, OpenDyslexic, impacted reading rate or accuracy compared to two commonly used fonts when used with elementary students identified as having dyslexia. OpenDyslexic was compared to Arial and Times New Roman in three reading tasks: (a) letter naming, (b) word reading, and (c) nons...

When fonts are used on documents, they intentionally selected by designers. For example, when designing a book cover, the typography of text is an important factor in overall feel book. In addition, it needs to be appropriate font for rest cover. Thus, we propose method generating title image based its context within We end-to-end neural network that inputs target location mask, and desired out...

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...
