METAFONT is Donald E. Knuth's system for alphabet design. The system allows an entire family of fonts or "meta-fonts" to be specified precisely and mathematically so that it can be produced in different sizes and styles for different raster devices. We present a new technique for defining Chinese characters hierarchically with METAFONT. We define METAFONT subroutines for commonly used portions ...

In this paper we examine the use of global texture analysis based approaches for the purpose of Persian font recognition in machine-printed document images. Most existing methods for font recognition make use of local typographical features and connected component analysis. However derivation of such features is not an easy task. Gabor filters are appropriate tools for texture analysis and are ...

The font recognition and character extraction is of immense importance as these are many scenarios where data are in such a form, which cannot be processed like in image form or as a hard copy. So the procedure developed in this paper is basically related to identifying the font (Times New Roman, Arial and Comic Sans MS) and afterwards recovering the text using simple correlation based method w...

Tag clouds are simple yet very widespread representations of how often certain words appear in a collection. In conventional tag clouds, only a single visual text variable is actively controlled: the tags’ font size. Previous work has demonstrated that font size is indeed the most influential visual text variable. However, there are other variables, such as text color, font style and tag orient...

Widget is not a new computing concept, but it has recently attracted much research interest because of its potential uses in a range of technological products/services. In assuming the challenge to develop an evaluation scheme for widgets/widget-based applications, some conceptual ambiguities about widget, especially its distinction from portlet, need to be clarified first. A survey aiming to c...

This Paper describes a NaXi pictographs information processing system we developed for different applications. It sets a basis for computerization of NaXi pictographs. Basic NaXi pictographs information processing Font, IME (Input Method Editors) and corresponding application software have been realized. This sets an end to the history that the NaXi pictographs can’t be handled with computers. ...

This paper describes formal bases for designing a PostScript dynamic font respecting some basic rules of Arabic calligraphy. This font will provide, for instance, a vertical curvilinear characters dynamic stretching that depends on their horizontal stretching according to the Calligraphic rules. Vertical and horizontal ligatures will also be supported by the proposed font. The techniques used c...
