  • Classifying Arabic Fonts Based on Design Characteristics: PANOSE-A
    Classifying Arabic Fonts Based on Design Characteristics: PANOSE-A Jehan Janbi A Thesis In the Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Science) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada July 2016 © Jehan Janbi, 2016 Abstract In desktop publishing, fonts are essential components in each document design. With the development of font design software and tools, there are thousands of digital fonts. Increasing the number of available fonts makes selecting an appropriate font, which best serves the objective of a design, not an intuitive issue. Designers can search for a font like any other file types by using general information such as name and file format. But for document design purposes, the design features or visual characteristics of fonts are more meaningful for designers than font file information. Therefore, representing fonts’ design features by searchable and comparable data would facilitate searching and selecting a desirable font. One solution is to represent a font’s design features by a code composed of several digits. This solution has been implemented as a computerized system called PANOSE-1 for Latin script fonts. PANOSE-1 is a system for classifying and matching typefaces based on design features. It is composed of 10 digits, where each digit represents a specific design feature. It is used within several font management tools as an option for ordering and searching fonts based on their design features. It is also used in font replacement processes when an application or an operating system detects a missing font in an immigrant document or website.

  • Total Lion Superguide
    SUPERGUIDES Total Lion SUPERGUIDE Get to Know Mac OS X 10.7 Foreword Over the last decade, Apple’s Mac OS X has evolved from a curious hybrid of the classic Mac OS and the NextStep operating system into a mainstream OS used by millions. It was a decade of continual refinement, capped by the bug-fixing, internals-tweaking release of Snow Leopard in 2009. But the last four years have seen some dramat- ic changes at Apple. In that time, while Mac sales continued to grow, Apple also built an entirely new business around devices that run iOS. Combine the influx of new Mac users with the popularity of the iPhone and iPad, and you get Lion. After a long period of relative stability on the Mac, Lion is a shock to the system. It’s a radical revision, and it makes the Mac a friendlier computer. Can Apple make OS X accessible to people buying their first Macs and add familiar threads for those coming to the Mac from the iPhone, all while keeping Mac veterans happy? That would be a neat trick—and Apple has tried very hard to pull it off with Lion. Whether you’re a relatively new Mac user or someone who remembers the days before there were three colored buttons in the upper left corner of every Mac window, Lion has something new for you. In this book, we’ve assembled in-depth looks at all of Lion’s new features and adjustments, and demonstrated how you can use them to their fullest.
