Digital punch cutting is today’s font technology. There are three different methods available for getting alphabets into digital form : hand-digitizing, auto-tracing and direct design on a workstation screen. The advent of intelligent font scaling requires us to ensure the ‘optical’ quality of a font and also the ‘numerical’ quality of its data; this, in turn, means that new procedures have to ...

This paper describes a program, mf2ps, that translates a METAFONT font definition into a definition for the same font in the POSTSCRIPT language. mf2ps is constructed out of the part of the METAFONT program that extracts the envelopes of the letters; these envelopes are converted into POSTSCRIPT outlines.

Two strategies for encouraging formation of dynamic relationships in Concept Maps (CMaps) are discussed and tested, namely concept quantification and a dynamic focus question of the map. Two experiments were conducted to examine the effects of these two approaches on dynamic thinking during the CMap construction task. The first experiment examined the impact of the quantification of the root co...

The influence of pixel's spatial characteristics on recognition of isolated Chinese character was investigated using simulated prosthestic vision. The accuracy of Chinese character recognition with 4 kinds of pixel number (6*6, 8*8, 10*10, and 12*12 pixel array) and 3 kinds of pixel shape (Square, Dot and Gaussian) and different pixel spacing were tested through head-mounted display (HMD). A ca...

It is difficult and time-consuming to design and maintain consistent style in all characters in font creation process. We therefore present a method to automatically generate a new font from a user defined example. From each character outline, we derive its skeleton to be used as topological structure. We then represent arbitrary font by weighted blend of outlines and skeletons from template fo...

With the rapid development of optical character recognition (OCR), font categorization becomes more and more important. This is because font information has very wide usage and researchers came to know this point recently. In this paper, we propose a new scheme for Chinese character font categorization (CCFC), which applies LBP descriptor based Chinese character interesting points for represent...
