We identify the problem of sharing Han character font across incompatible bitmap le formats and discuss the related issues. The ideal solution should meet the requirements including independence of character code schemes, such as GB2312-80, Big5, and Unicode, no conversion of existing bitmap font les, storage eeciency, exibility, exten-sibility, platform independence, as well as simplicity. Bas...

The present study tries to investigate the effect of font size on recognition of the key textual words, to determine if the students can find the answers to some multiple choice and true/false questions easier in a text typed with a larger or smaller font size. Forty male and female students were selected through the placement test in an institute. Their reading comprehension ability with the f...

In alphabetic writing systems, saccade amplitude (a close correlate of reading speed) is independent of font size, presumably because an increase in the angular size of letters is compensated for by a decrease of visual acuity with eccentricity. We propose that this invariance may (also) be due to the presence of spaces between words, guiding the eyes across a large range of font sizes. Here, w...

In this paper a novel approach is proposed based on single Euler number feature which is free from thinning and size normalization for multi-font and multi-size Kannada numeral recognition system. A nearest neighbor classification is used for classification of Kannada numerals by considering the Euclidian distance. A total 1500 numeral images with different font sizes between (10..84) are teste...

Optical character recognition system research has been acquired howling success, but the reconstruction of layout needs fonts of the characters. In this paper, a novel font recognition algorithm is proposed, which is based on multi-scale wavelet analysis. We adopt wavelet analysis and the grid method to deal with the character image, and extract wavelet energy density feature, and apply the BP ...

There are many font types today. These characters are important in order to acquire information and are needed more visible but relations between the shape of the character and visibility are ambiguous. In this paper describes a relation between a shape of number and visibility. We shown subjects the character of different font types and examined eye movements. An eye mark recorder was used for...

Using lower-case fonts varying only in serif size (0%, 5%, and 10% cap height), we assessed legibility using size thresholds and reading speed. Five percentage serif fonts were slightly more legible than sans serif, but the average inter-letter spacing increase that serifs themselves impose, predicts greater enhancement than we observed. RSVP and continuous reading speeds showed no effect of se...
