    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer program products for adding hinting instructions to a character in order to improve a character bitmap produced from an outline of the character at a certain size and output resolution when the character outline is scan converted. A character is retrieved to be output. A determination is made that the character belongs to a semantic character classifications, and hinting instructions that are associated with the semantic character classification are accessed. The hinting instructions preserve semantic meaning for the character while altering either stroke presence, stroke location, or both for at least one stroke of at least one feature of the character based on a reference character size and output resolution. If the actual character size and output resolution for the character is within a reference character size and output resolution for the hinting instructions, the hinting instructions are executed.

    摘要: A system and method for creating three-dimensional or depth image font text characters using graphic three-dimensional object creation techniques and processors. The text characters can be represented as set descriptions of the characters. The text characters can also be represented as a three-dimensional geometric model including polygons constructed from vertices defined by three-dimensional coordinates. The representations are stored in a font storage and when a user specifies the text characters to be used in a depth image along with the font to be used for the text characters, the geometric representations of the characters are retrieved. If stored as a set, the set is converted into a geometric plot. Appropriate scaling and surface texturing operations are performed as designated by the user to create three-dimensional text character graphic objects. These text character graphic objects are transferred to a graphics processor to be manipulated as desired by the use and used to produce an image that can be further processed.

    摘要: Customized 3D-printing can provide users with customized products, but need to be verified for quality and durability. In an embodiment, a method for three-dimensional (3D)-printing a customized product includes loading a 3D-font from a database. The 3D font includes multiple character relations. Each character relation connects any two given characters of the 3D font. The method also includes generating a 3D-representation of a customized product based on the 3D-font. The customized product is based on a plurality of characters received from a user. A 3D-font as described herein can provide customized, on-demand, 3D-printed products of a particular threshold of quality and durability.

    摘要: There is provided an output apparatus in which a character pattern of a bit map form can be selected and output or a character pattern can be made and output by arithmetic operating processes. The apparatus comprises: a receiver to receive a command from the outside to indicate which one of the character pattern generating methods is used; a discriminating circuit to discriminate a memory capacity in the apparatus in the case of outputting a certain character and a size of character to be output; and a selector to select on the basis of the memory capacity and the character size either one of the character pattern generating methods in accordance with the command from the outside which is received by the receiver or irrespective of the command from the outside. With the apparatus, the optimum character pattern which the user desires can be made and output by the proper method of the bit map form or the scaling form at a high speed with a small memory capacity at a high print quality.

    摘要: The invention describes a method for reconstructing characters in a document, which are expressed in one or more fonts, to convert the characters to a different font designed to closely match characters from a plurality of fonts in an aesthetically pleasing manner. This is accomplished by first selecting a first character from the document and thereafter substituting for the first character the same character constructed from the different font and having the same width as the first character, the characters of varying widths within the different font being designed to have aesthetically pleasing relationships between their parts irrespective of width. The construction and substitution of characters of the different font for each of the characters in said document needing reconstruction is continued in the same manner until all the characters in the document needing reconstruction have been substituted, thereby creating a reconstructed document having an aesthetically pleasing relationship among the characters in the document. Thereafter the reconstructed document is stored, printed or displayed.
