Abstract
This paper presents a method for analyzing Hangul glyphs with their outline fonts and obtaining intermediate fonts with two different fonts. The glyphs are represented and analyzed hierarchically such as characters, components(letters) and strokes. With the analysis results, we obtain several intermediate glyphs by morphing two different glyphs of same character. For a natural glyph contour morphing, we employ the curve morphing algorithm by weighted mean of strings. In addition, we provide four operations for transformation of glyphs with different topology. As a result, it is illustrated that the proposed Hangul glyphs morphing scheme is useful for new font generation from any exist fonts or handwritings.
