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. -

We introduce the basic concepts needed to understand how writing systems and character encodings function, and how they work together. The intersection of the Unicode Standard and the International Phonetic Al- phabet is often not met without frustration by users. Nevertheless, thetwo standards have provided language researchers with a consistent computational architecture needed to process, publish and analyze data from many different languages. We bring to light common, but not always transparent, pitfalls that researchers face when working with Unicode and IPA. Our research uses quantitative methods to compare languages and uncover and clarify their phylogenetic relations. However, the majority of lexical data available from the world’s languages is in author- or document-specific orthogra- phies. -

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. -

Arabic Typesetting Using a METAFONT-Based Dynamic Font
Arabic typesetting using a METAFONT-based dynamic font Amine Anane [email protected] TUG 2019 - Palo Alto, California, USA August 9-11, 2019 How the project started ? I cannot find a searchable pdf document of the Quran. PDF documents are raster images of hand-written book : cannot be searchable. big size. blurry image due to pixelation Other formats (Office Word, HTML [http://tanzil.net]) : based on Unicode text file + OpenType Font. 1 OpenType Font vs Handwritten text Much smaller font size to accommodate the widest line Increase in interword space for other lines 2 Objective Typeset an electronic copy of the Medina Mus’haf (book) re- specting calligraphic rules and having the same Font size, page number and line Why Medina book ? Quranic book is a reference in Arabic calligraphy Written by one of the most renowned Arabic calligrapher beautiful, clear, easy-to-read style each page finishes by a verse and each section (30 sections) in 20pages (15 lines each) Justification is applied extensively If objective is reached, we should reach ultimate goal : High-quality Arabic → typesetter fulfilling Arabic calligraphic rules 3 Where to start? Existing systems and technology for typesetting Arabic text Font standards such as OpenType and Apple Advanced Typography Advantage : Availability of tools Disadvantage : justification does not conform to Arabic calligraphy such as horizontal stretching using Kashida (Tatweel) ditroff/ffortid system Advantage : based on dynamic PostScript fonts Disadvantage : does not model the way stretching is done -
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. -
