In order to maximize online reading performance and comprehension, how should a designer choose typographical variables such as font size and font type? Do accompanying pictures distract the reader? This paper presents an eye tracking study of how font size, font type, and pictures affect online reading. In a between-subjects design, we collected data from 114 subjects reading stories formatted...

The font evolution with various types is a great impact on a recognition performance of optical character recognition (OCR) systems. The more diversity of fonts leads to the less accuracy of recognition rate, particularly Thai-fonts. In order to overcome this obstacle, this paper proposes a font descriptor for printed Thai-character recognition. The role of such a descriptor is a representative...

This paper gives an introduction to Computational Intelligence application in the domain of font design and basic introduction to Interactive Evolutionary Computation. We test its abilities and practical usability. We look at the domain of font design and describe some experiments with font design. We briefly describe our designed system and analyze its performance. We conclude that proposed sy...

Previous research efforts on optical font recognition have mostly limited applications since they deal with only a few types of font attributes and estimate them from a line or block of text. This paper proposes a word-level optical font recognition system for printed Korean and English documents. At the word-level, it has the advantages of obtaining more detailed font attributes including the ...

We designed and trained a connectionist network to generate letterfonns in a new font given just a few exemplars from that font. During learning. our network constructed a distributed internal representation of fonts as well as letters. despite the fact that each training instance exemplified both a font and a letter. It was necessary to have separate but interconnected hidden units for " lette...

Current text-to-speech systems do not support the effective provision of the semantics and the cognitive aspects of the documents’ typographic cues (e.g., font type, style, and size). A novel approach is introduced for the acoustic rendition of text font based on the emotional analogy between the visual (text font cues) and the acoustic (speech prosody) modalities. The methodology is based on: ...

Directed self-placement (DSP) is considered useful in linguistically and culturally diverse writing programs, but questions of self-efficacy institutional knowledge sustain hesitancy using DSP with English as an additional language (EAL) writers. This interview study grounded sociocultural literacy theory explores multilingual, international students’ engagement placement courses, showcasing tw...
