Help your fellow font-seekers if you think you can recognize the font. Earn some good karma by doing it :-) Answer & Help. Yet sometimes the images are very complex, so other users need a bit of help. If you recognize the font from the samples posted here don't be shy and help a fellow designer. Thousands of designers (famous or not) use the image font detection system to find a font or similar free fonts from an image. Although we have the largest database of fonts, the search for a font from an image gets mixed results like the image above. Fonts. Fonts begin where character sets end. The characters defined by the encodings inside your computer are abstract, whereas the glyphs defined by a font are concrete visual forms that can be rendered on screen or paper. Outline fonts are fonts in which glyphs are described mathematically as "outlines," a series of line segments, arcs, and curves. They are fully scalable: to print or display a character, the outline is scaled to the desired size, then rendered by filling the outline with bits or pixels. The information provided here is limited to what the typical Chinese Mac user might want to know. If you want to learn more about font formats and printing technologies, Ken Lunde's CJKV Information Processing is very thorough on these topics. Developed by Adobe, PostScript is a "page-description" language for printers. It supports both graphics and text, with built-in support for fonts. The most common PostScript font format is Type 1. Chinese Postscript fonts use the CID format, which uses Type 1 character descriptions tailored especially for East Asian writing systems. CID stands for "Character Identifier," which refers to the numbers that are used to index and access the characters in the font. OS X provides full support for all types of PostScript-based fonts. In 1991, Microsoft adopted Apple's TrueType font format, but they used a different approach to storing the font data. Font files had to be converted between Windows and Macintosh. Regardless, all TrueType fonts contain "cmap" tables that map its glyphs to various encodings. With Mac OS X 10.5 (2007), Apple introduced full support for Windows TrueType font files, but the files must contain Unicode cmap tables. Most Windows 98 and later fonts have them, while most Windows 95 and earlier fonts do not. OpenType is an open standard developed by Microsoft and Adobe in 1996 to absorb the underlying differences between the TrueType and PostScript formats. OpenType fonts also use cmap tables. There are two kinds of OpenType fonts: those that use PostScript Type 1 names and outlines and carry the .OTF extension, and those that use TrueType names and outlines and carry the .TTF (or .TTC) extension. TrueType "collections" with the .TTC extension contain multiple fonts, usually different weights of the same font. They can also use the Unicode technology of glyph variants (supported in OS X 10.6 and above) to provide localized glyphs for users in China/Singapore (the "SC" locale), Hong Kong (the "HK" locale), and Taiwan (the "TC" locale). Note: Formerly part of the TC ("Traditional Chinese") locale, the HK locale became necessary with HKSCS-2016. Previous editions of the HKSCS were compatible with Big Five, but the 2016 standard is Unicode-only and diverges by replacing 22 Big Five characters with variant forms from Unicode. See HKSCS. Foundries. One way for individuals to obtain reliable, high-quality Chinese fonts is in retail bundles from established foundries. There aren't many of these companies. The making of an original Chinese font is a huge undertaking, somewhat less so now with the advent of new approaches and advanced technologies, but producing a finished, unique font is still a monumental task, involving a team of people working for months, if not years. Many font bundles include installers (and other software) that only work on Windows, and thus they are sold as Windows-only, but you can always manually install the fonts on OS X. The best place to put them is in a folder of their own within your computer's /Library/Fonts/ folder, or your local. /Library Fonts folder, which is where Font Book puts them if you use it to install them. The current model for distributing fonts is via annual subscriptions. Adobe led the way with what is now TypeKit, and the rest of the industry has, for the most part, followed their lead.

Unearthed in 2004 from the banks of the Yangtze River and dated to 173 CE, the stele was dedicated to Quren county magistrate Jing Yun who died 70 years earlier in 103 CE. The paper provides a full translation, annotation, and analysis of the stele’s commemorative text, which borrows from the content and language of one of China’soldest anthologies of poems, the Chuci, and places it in its historical context. It also examines the iconography at the head of the stele which reflects beliefs in transcendence and the pursuit of immortality prevalent at the time and demonstrates its close relation to the inscription. Overall, the paper suggests that the decoration and text together exhibit a regional heritage that is distinct to the south-west, its memorial culture, and poetic and religious traditions.

  • Syntactic-Semantic Analysis of Modern Chinese with Left-Associative Grammar
    Syntactic-Semantic Analysis of Modern Chinese with Left-Associative Grammar Inaugural Dissertation Faculty of Social Sciences and Theology The Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg presented by Qiuxiang Feng from China D29 Date of the oral test: 03.Feb.2012 Dean: University Professor Dr. Heidrun Stein-Kecks Primary reviewer: University Professor Dr. Roland Hausser Second reviewer: University Professor Dr. Michael Lackner 2 Preface It is a long-term pursuit of people to interact with computers by natural languages. This is why natural language processing is significant in computer science and artificial intelligence. Before enabling a computer, or a robot, to give proper responses, we have to first make it understand what we say. Here comes the task of parsing. For a long time, parsing refers only to syntactic analysis, which shows the grammatical relation of sentence elements. Some formal grammars, such as the Phrase Structure Grammar, the Categorial Grammar, the Dependency Grammar, etc. are applied for syntactic parsing. However, syntax and semantics represent the duality of a language. Their relation resembles that of form and content. When these grammars are applied in Chinese parsing, the disadvantage of merely syntactic parsing becomes more outstanding. Chinese is a parataxical language in which the semantic relation between sentence elements speaks loud. Additional semantic information of words is necessary for high-quality syntactic analysis. If the semantic relation between words is presented in the parsing result simultaneously with the syntactic relation, it will improve language production, which is important to machine translation, artificial intelligence, etc. In addition, if the whole analysis process models the mechanism of a human agent’s language understanding, it will be more theoretically solid and empirically valuable.

  • Identifiability and Definiteness in Chinese*
    Identifiability and definiteness in Chinese* PING CHEN Abstract This article explores how the pragmatic notion of identifiability is encoded in Chinese. It presents a detailed analysis of the distinctive linguistic de- vices, including lexical, morphological, and position in sentence, which are employed in Chinese to indicate the interpretation of referents in respect of identifiability. Of the major determiners in Chinese, demonstratives are de- veloping uses of a definite article, and yi ‘one’ þ classifier has developed uses of an indefinite article, although morphologically and in some cases also functionally they have not yet been fully grammaticalized. What makes Chinese further di¤erent from languages like English is the inter- pretation in this regard of what are called indeterminate lexical encodings, which include bare NPs and cardinality expressions. They by themselves are neutral in respect of the interpretation of identifiability. For indetermi- nate expressions, there is a strong but seldom absolute correlation between the interpretation of identifiability or nonidentifiability and their occurrence in di¤erent positions in a sentence. Unlike the cases with several other lan- guages without articles like Czech, Hindi, and Indonesian, the features of definiteness and indefiniteness cannot be obligatorily and uniquely specified for nominal expressions in Chinese. The findings in this article lead to the conclusion that definiteness as a grammatical category defined in the nar- row sense has not been fully developed in Chinese. 1. Introduction The term ‘‘identifiability’’ in this article denotes a pragmatic concept, and the term ‘‘definiteness’’ denotes a grammatical category featuring formal distinction whose core function is to mark a nominal expression as iden- tifiable or nonidentifiable.

  • Kanji – the Structural Variations of Radicals
    Lund University Centre for Language and Literature Japanese Kanji – The Structural Variations of Radicals A Japanese linguistics bachelor’s thesis regarding the structural variations of radicals and their origins. Marcus Klingborg Advisor: Spring semester 2012 Lars Larm 2012-05-14 Abstract The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate and analyse some of the radicals utilized in the kanji of the Japanese language. These are radicals that have more than one variation of their shape and may be positioned in different locations within the character, at times depending on the structural variation of the radical. The radicals will therefore be analysed in order to try and discover if there are any specific practical linguistic reasons behind these variations or if it coincidentally emerged during history. This analysis will be made by first offering a historical perspective and facts and then a linguistic part with linguistic theory and analysis.
