Ideally, digital versions of scanned documents should be represented in a format that is searchable, compressed, highly readable, and faithful to the original. These goals can theoretically be achieved through OCR and font recognition, re-typesetting the document text with original fonts. However, OCR and font recognition remain hard problems, and many historical documents use fonts that are no...

More and more, interest in the way data is displayed on screen has increased, especially with the increase in the number of people using e-text for learning purposes. So, this requires more focus on factors that affect screen legibility. Text display factors, such as font size, line length and font type, have an impact on reading online. Two font types [Arabic Traditional and Simplified Arabic]...

In this paper we present a new method of parametrizing PostScript fonts in order to create font families. By changing parameter values one can obtain different weights, condensed or expanded versions, small caps as well as optically scaled fonts. The tool used to parametrize PostScript fonts is D. E. Knuth’s METAFONT program. Instead of designing a font from scratch, METAFONT is used as an extr...

The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation academic supervision and teacher performance assessment, through programs, evaluation planning assessment. This uses a qualitative approach with descriptive method. Data collection techniques were carried out interviews, observation. research subjects principal, vice principal teachers at SMA Negeri 3 Timang Gajah Bener Meriah. data ...

In two experiments, we investigated the role of perceptual information in spurious recognition judgments. Participants viewed lists of words in various unusual fonts. The frequency with which each font was presented was manipulated at study: Each font was presented with 1 or 12 different words in Experiment 1 and with 1 or 20 words in Experiment 2. Although the participants were instructed in a...

Although perceptual information is utilized to judge size or depth, little work has investigated whether such information is used to make memory predictions. The present study examined how the font size of to-be-remembered words influences predicted memory performance. Participants studied words for a free-recall test that varied in font size and made judgments of learning (JOLs) for each item....

According to the "modular" hypothesis, reading is a serial feedforward process, with part of left ventral occipitotemporal cortex the earliest component tuned to familiar orthographic stimuli. Beyond this region, the model predicts no response to arrays of false font in reading-related neural pathways. An alternative "connectionist" hypothesis proposes that reading depends on interactions betwe...
