  • CSS Font Stacks by Classification
    CSS font stacks by classification Written by Frode Helland When Johann Gutenberg printed his famous Bible more than 600 years ago, the only typeface available was his own. Since the invention of moveable lead type, throughout most of the 20th century graphic designers and printers have been limited to one – or perhaps only a handful of typefaces – due to costs and availability. Since the birth of desktop publishing and the introduction of the worlds firstWYSIWYG layout program, MacPublisher (1985), the number of typefaces available – literary at our fingertips – has grown exponen- tially. Still, well into the 21st century, web designers find them selves limited to only a handful. Web browsers depend on the users own font files to display text, and since most people don’t have any reason to purchase a typeface, we’re stuck with a selected few. This issue force web designers to rethink their approach: letting go of control, letting the end user resize, restyle, and as the dynamic web evolves, rewrite and perhaps also one day rearrange text and data. As a graphic designer usually working with static printed items, CSS font stacks is very unfamiliar: A list of typefaces were one take over were the previous failed, in- stead of that single specified Stempel Garamond 9/12 pt. that reads so well on matte stock. Am I fighting the evolution? I don’t think so. Some design principles are universal, independent of me- dium. I believe good typography is one of them. The technology that will let us use typefaces online the same way we use them in print is on it’s way, although moving at slow speed.

  • Vision Performance Institute
    Vision Performance Institute Technical Report Individual character legibility James E. Sheedy, OD, PhD Yu-Chi Tai, PhD John Hayes, PhD The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the legibility of individual characters. Previous work in our lab [2], including the first study in this sequence, has studied the relative legibility of fonts with different anti- aliasing techniques or other presentation medias, such as paper. These studies have tested the relative legibility of a set of characters configured with the tested conditions. However the relative legibility of individual characters within the character set has not been studied. While many factors seem to affect the legibility of a character (e.g., character typeface, character size, image contrast, character rendering, the type of presentation media, the amount of text presented, viewing distance, etc.), it is not clear what makes a character more legible when presenting in one way than in another. In addition, the importance of those different factors to the legibility of one character may not be held when the same set of factors was presented in another character. Some characters may be more legible in one typeface and others more legible in another typeface. What are the character features that affect legibility? For example, some characters have wider openings (e.g., the opening of “c” in Calibri is wider than the character “c” in Helvetica); some letter g’s have double bowls while some have single (e.g., “g” in Batang vs. “g” in Verdana); some have longer ascenders or descenders (e.g., “b” in Constantia vs.

  • Nokia 808 Pureview 41 Megapixel Camera with Carl Zeiss Lens
    Sep 22, 2012 14:50 IST Nokia 808 PureView 41 megapixel Camera with Carl Zeiss lens The all new Nokia 808 PureView is a game changing phone in the world of smartphones. This exclusive hand set has got 4 inches AMOLED dispay which is clear black. The feel of this great hand set is quite similar to that of Nokia 5800 with an allusion of Nokia Lumia 610. Although these mentioned phones are small and had flat backs. In India the Nokia 808 PureView price is Rs.30, 499. The quality of the calls in this phone comes without any kind of issues. Comparing the size of Nokia 808 PureView with the iPhone 4S it is not that small having 123.9mm x 60.2mm x 13.9mm as its proper dimensions which gets expanded to 17.95 mm when the camera bulges out. This new Nokia phone has arrived in the market with a camera of 41 MP although Nokia N8 is said to have got the finest cameras under the Nokia phone range. The total hardware weight makes the Nokia 808 PureView a bit heavy having a mass of 169 grams. This is the heaviest phone out of all the smartphones that are available in the market. There is a smart dial system on the interface of the phone dialer. There also a soft button at the bottom of the phone which gives an easy access to the contacts as well as the call logs. The messaging option in this Nokia 808 PureView phone is free from any sorts of trouble.

  • Mobile OS: Analysis of Customers’ Values
    Mobile OS: analysis of customers’ values Georgii Shamugiia Bachelor's Thesis Business Administration 2020 Mobile OS 01.11.2020 Author(s) Georgii Shamugiia Degree programme Bachelor of Business Administration SAMPO18 Report/thesis title Number of pages Mobile OS: analysis of customer's values and appendix pages 14 + 47 The rapid development of the mobile industry since the start of new millennium led to much more extensive usage of mobile devices than desktop computers. Fast-developing technol- ogies of wireless networking led to the excessive need of a device, which can search any info on the web conveniently, be a decent communicational tool and be able to adapt to dif- ferent needs of customers. The device which fully fulfils this need is a smartphone, which is being widely used today by the majority of the global population. In this thesis, the author digests the tools, which allows smartphones to work appropriately, give consumers a pleasuring experience while using them and run all the operations and data stored on them. These tools are mobile op- erating systems – platforms, which allow all those things and even more. In this research, the author investigates the historical development of mobile operating systems, which put a mark in the history of the industry. By digesting three cases of Nokia, Blackberry and Mi- crosoft, the author explains what were the selling points, that succeeded and managed to popularise each mobile operating system globally among consumers and gadget manufac- turers and what were the reasons that caused their global downfall. A separate chapter of this research is dedicated to a survey regarding customer values and customer opinions about mobile devices and mobile operating systems.

  • Higher Quality 2D Text Rendering
    Journal of Computer Graphics Techniques Vol. 2, No. 1, 2013 Higher Quality 2D Text Rendering http://jcgt.org Higher Quality 2D Text Rendering Nicolas P. Rougier INRIA No hinting Native hinting Auto hinting Vertical hinting Figure 1. When displaying text on low-resolution devices (DPI < 150), one typically has to decide if one wants to respect the pixel grid (e.g., Cleartype technology / Microsoft / native hinting) for crisp rendering or, to privilege glyph shapes (Quartz technology / Apple / no hinting) at the cost of blurring. There is, however, a third way that may combine the best of the two technologies (vertical hinting). Abstract Even though text is pervasive in most 3D applications, there is surprisingly no native sup- port for text rendering in OpenGL. To cope with this absence, Mark Kilgard introduced the use of texture fonts [Kilgard 1997]. This technique is well known and widely used and en- sures both good performances and a decent quality in most situations. However, the quality may degrade strongly in orthographic mode (screen space) due to pixelation effects at large sizes and to legibility problems at small sizes due to incorrect hinting and positioning of glyphs. In this paper, we consider font-texture rendering to develop methods to ensure the highest quality in orthographic mode. The method used allows for both the accurate render- ing and positioning of any glyph on the screen. While the method is compatible with complex shaping and/or layout (e.g., the Arabic alphabet), these specific cases are not studied in this article. 50 Journal of Computer Graphics Techniques Vol.
