One of the related problems of OCR systems is discrimination of fonts in machine printed document images. This task improves performance of general OCR systems. Proposed methods in this paper are based on various fractal dimensions for font discrimination. First, some predefined fractal dimensions were combined with directional methods to enhance font differentiation. Then, a novel fractal dime...

We propose the use of a special pseudofont as an enhancement (in a sense) of the \special instruction. The examples of the implementation show that the technique applied here would prove to be extremely useful, especially with METAPOST. keywords: cmdfont, special commands, MetaPost, fonts, PostScript Keen users of TEX, METAFONT, or METAPOST might find the instructions called “special” very migh...

abstractthe aim of this study was to find the appropriate type of translation of english brand names iranian consumers prefer, i.e. phonetic, semantic and phonosemantic types of translation. also, it was aimed at examining the type of font size iranian consumers tends to see on packages of english products. to this end, the distinction between male and female participants as well as the partici...

It is proposed to use irregularity, the scale invariant index based on the ideas of fractal geometry to assess the spatial features of font drawings. The index is sensitive to the shape of characters in the font, which affects text legibility. Preliminary results have shown promising application of the proposed index for classifying fonts by reading speeds.

This paper analyses the problem of converting TEX fonts to Type 1 fonts, describes TEXtrace, a new free conversion program, and compares it to other possible methods and existing utilities. TEXtrace works by rendering the font in high resolution and then tracing (vectorizing) it. keywords: PDF, font conversion, Type1, METAFONT, vector, outline, raster, bitmap,

Gary E. Kopec2 Xerox Palo Alto Research Center June 15, 1993 Abstract Character placement in digital typography is commonly defined in terms of a set of parameters (font metrics) that specify the relative locations of the local coordinate systems of adjacent characters in a line of text. The primary font metrics for horizontal letterspacing are the character set widths and sidebearings and the ...
