  • Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department
    Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department A GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR FORMATTING COMPUTER-GENERATED BRIEFS, WITH EXAMPLES The rules concerning the formatting of briefs are contained in CPLR 5529 and in § 1250.8 of the Practice Rules of the Appellate Division. Those rules cover technical matters and therefore use certain technical terms which may be unfamiliar to attorneys and litigants. The following glossary is offered as an aid to the understanding of the rules. Typeface: A typeface is a complete set of characters of a particular and consistent design for the composition of text, and is also called a font. Typefaces often come in sets which usually include a bold and an italic version in addition to the basic design. Proportionally Spaced Typeface: Proportionally spaced type is designed so that the amount of horizontal space each letter occupies on a line of text is proportional to the design of each letter, the letter i, for example, being narrower than the letter w. More text of the same type size fits on a horizontal line of proportionally spaced type than a horizontal line of the same length of monospaced type. This sentence is set in Times New Roman, which is a proportionally spaced typeface. Monospaced Typeface: In a monospaced typeface, each letter occupies the same amount of space on a horizontal line of text. This sentence is set in Courier, which is a monospaced typeface. Point Size: A point is a unit of measurement used by printers equal to approximately 1/72 of an inch.

  • Recognising Cursive Arabic Text Using a Speech Recognition System M S Khorsheed
    Proceedings of the 7th WSEAS International Conference on Automation & Information, Cavtat, Croatia, June 13-15, 2006 (pp122-125) Recognising Cursive Arabic Text using a Speech Recognition System M S Khorsheed Abstract| This paper presents a system to recognise cursive Arabic typewritten text. The system is built using the Hidden Markov Model Toolkit (HTK) which is a portable toolkit for speech recognition system. The proposed system decomposes the page into its text lines and then extracts a set of simple statistical features from small overlapped windows running through each text line. The feature vector sequence is injected to the global model for training and recognition purposes. A data corpus which includes Arabic text from two computer- generated fonts is used to assess the performance of the proposed system.

  • 15 the Effect of Font Type on Screen Readability by People with Dyslexia
    The Effect of Font Type on Screen Readability by People with Dyslexia LUZ RELLO and RICARDO BAEZA-YATES, Web Research Group, DTIC, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain Around 10% of the people have dyslexia, a neurological disability that impairs a person’s ability to read and write. There is evidence that the presentation of the text has a significant effect on a text’s accessibility for people with dyslexia. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no experiments that objectively 15 measure the impact of the typeface (font) on screen reading performance. In this article, we present the first experiment that uses eye-tracking to measure the effect of typeface on reading speed. Using a mixed between-within subject design, 97 subjects (48 with dyslexia) read 12 texts with 12 different fonts. Font types have an impact on readability for people with and without dyslexia. For the tested fonts, sans serif , monospaced, and roman font styles significantly improved the reading performance over serif , proportional, and italic fonts. On the basis of our results, we recommend a set of more accessible fonts for people with and without dyslexia. Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces— Screen design, style guides; K.4.2 [Computers and Society]: Social Issues—Assistive technologies for per- sons with disabilities General Terms: Design, Experimentation, Human Factors Additional Key Words and Phrases: Dyslexia, learning disability, best practices, web accessibility, typeface, font, readability, legibility, eye-tracking ACM Reference Format: Luz Rello and Ricardo Baeza-Yates. 2016.

  • 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.

  • Choosing Fonts – Quick Tips
    Choosing Fonts – Quick Tips 1. Choose complementary fonts – choose a font that matches the mood of your design. For business cards, it is probably best to choose a classic font. *Note: These fonts are not available in Canva, but are in the Microsoft Office Suite. For some good Canva options, go to this link – https://www.canva.com/learn/canva-for-work-brand-fonts/ Examples: Serif Fonts: Sans Serif Fonts: Times New Roman Helvetica Cambria Arial Georgia Verdana Courier New Calibri Century Schoolbook 2. Establish a visual hierarchy – Use fonts to separate different types of information and guide the reader - Use different fonts, sizes, weights (boldness), and even color - Example: Heading (Helvetica, SZ 22, Bold) Sub-heading (Helvetica, SZ 16, Italics) Body Text (Garamond, SZ 12, Regular) Captions (Garamond, SZ 10, Regular 3. Mix Serifs and Sans Serifs – This is one of the best ways to add visual interest to type. See in the above example how I combined Helvetica, a sans serif font, with Garamond, a serif font. 4. Create Contrast, Not Conflict: Fonts that are too dissimilar may not pair well together. Contrast is good, but fonts need a connecting element. Conflict Contrast 5. Use Fonts from the Same Family: These fonts were created to work together. For example, the fonts in the Arial or Courier families. 6. Limit Your Number of Fonts: No more than 2 or 3 is a good rule – for business cards, choose 2. 7. Trust Your Eye: These are not concrete rules – you will know if a design element works or not! .

  • 1 Warum Hassen Alle Comic Sans?
    Preprint von: Meletis, Dimitrios. 2020. Warum hassen alle Comic Sans? Metapragmatische Onlinediskurse zu einer typographischen Hassliebe. In Jannis Androutsopoulos/Florian Busch (eds.), Register des Graphischen: Variation, Praktiken, Reflexion, 253-284. Boston, Berlin: De Gruyter. DOI: 10.1515/9783110673241-010. Warum hassen alle Comic Sans? Metapragmatische Onlinediskurse zu einer typographischen Hassliebe Dimitrios Meletis Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 1. Einleitung If you love it, you don’t know much about typography, and if you hate Com- ic Sans you don’t know very much about typography either, and you should probably get another hobby. Vincent Connare, Designer von Comic Sans1 Spätestens ab dem Zeitpunkt, als mit dem Aufkommen des PCs einer breiten Masse die Möglichkeit geboten wurde, Schriftprodukte mithilfe von vorinstallierten Schriftbear- beitungsprogrammen und darin angebotenen Schriftarten nach Belieben selbst zu gestal- ten, wurde – oftmals unbewusst – mit vielen (vor allem impliziten) Konventionen ge- brochen. Comic Sans kann in diesem Kontext als Paradebeispiel gelten: Die 1994 ent- worfene Type (in Folge simplifiziert: Schriftart, Schrift) wird im Internet vor allem auf- grund von Verwendungen in dafür als unpassend empfundenen Situationen von vielen leidenschaftlich ‚gehasst‘. So existiert(e) unter anderem ein Manifest, das ein Verbot der Schrift fordert(e) (bancomicsans.com).2 Personen, die die „Schauder-Schrift“ (Lischka 2008) „falsch“ verwenden, werden als Comic Sans Criminals bezeichnet und ihnen wird Hilfe angeboten,

  • Alien Heads Found in Georgia
    Georgia Alien heads found in Georgia Georgia is a serif typeface designed in 1993 by Matthew Carter and hinted by Tom Rickner for the Microsoft Corporation. The font is inspired by Scotch Roman designs of the 19th century and was based on designs for a print typeface in the same style Carter was working on when contacted by Microsoft. Georgia were released by Microsoft in 1996 as part of the Core Fonts for the Web collection. The typeface's name referred to a tabloid headline claiming“Alien heads found in Georgia.” As a transitional serif design, Georgia shows a number of traditional features of rational serif typefaces from around the early 19th century, such as alternating thick and thin strokes, ball terminals, a vertical axis and an italic taking inspiration from calligraphy. It features a large x-height (tall lower-case letters) and its thin strokes are thicker than would be common on a typeface designed for display use or the higher resolution of print. Besides, Georgia's bold is also unusually bold and bolder than most bolds.

  • Tutorial: Changing Languages (Localization)
    L O Tutorial C A L I Z A T Changing Languages I O N (Localization) in the TNT Products Changing Languages (Localization) Before Getting Started This booklet surveys the steps necessary to localize the TNT products. Micro- Images has worked hard to internationalize the TNT products so that they may be localized for any country, culture, and language. MicroImages does not cre- ate translated versions of the TNT products, but it does supply the means so that those who have enrolled as Official Translators can create a localization. A local- ization can use any font, so that none of the original English words or Latin characters remain. Alternatively, an Official Translator may choose a less ambi- tious level of localization and translate only selected interface elements, leaving the rest in English. As an Official Translator, your localization efforts can put you into a unique leadership position in your country. Contact MicroImages for de- tails of the Official Translator agreement. Prerequisites To implement a TNT Products localization, you must • enroll with MicroImages, Inc. as the Official Translator for your language, • be a skilled computer user who is comfortable with both the English version of TNT and the target language for your locale, and • be familiar with the TNT processes, since your localization task includes finding linguistic and conceptual equivalents for all interface text, messages, and documentation. MicroImages encourages you in your localization efforts. Already the growing list of completed localized versions has made the TNT products ever more widely accepted around the world. The Locale A Locale is defined by the textres file that contains all the informa- tion needed for a specific translation so that all the text in the TNT interface appears in another language.
