Thousands of glyphs are necessary for Hangul font generation. It is mandatory to generate the required glyphs before producing Hangul font. This paper, entitled "Multiple Master Glyph Algorithm", presents an process that generates a target number of glyphs automatically from a very small number of glyphs by using a combination rule setting and a glyph interpolation method. A font editor, which is able to generate Hangul glyphs or fonts, is developed based on this algorithm. The editor generates a target number of fundamental glyphs automatically by using a combination rule setting and four master glyphs, which can be set up by a user. The automatically generated glyphs can be used to generate a target font by combining KSX1001 standard Hangul 2350 characters or Unicode standard Hangul 11172 characters automatically. The efficiency of the proposed Hangul editor is analyzed quantitatively in this paper through application to several commercial typefaces.

다차원 정보 가시화(multidimensional information visualization)의 목적은 복잡하고 차원이 많은 정보 데이터(information data)를 이해하기 쉽게 그림이나 도표와 같은 특정한 형식을 이용하여 효과적으로 나타내고 비교하는데 있다. 그동안 제시되어 온 다차원 정보 가시화 기법의 대표적인 것으로는 Scatterplots, Perspective Wall, Parallel Coordinates, Glyph를 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서 소개하는 multidimensional rotating visualizer (MRV)이란 기존의 다차원 정보 가시화 기법들을 보완하여 다차원 데이터(multidimensional data)를 3차원 형식으로 보여주는 방법이다. MRV는 그중에서 특히 Glyph와 Parallel Coordinate의 특징을 혼합하여 화면상에 다차원 정보 데이터를 보여주는 새로운 시도라고 하겠다.

As we review the mechanism regarding digital font generation and birth of TrueType font, we realizes that the process is composed of sequential steps such as contour fonts from glyph table. This fact implies that we propose classification of TrueType font in terms of segment width and the number of occurrence from the glyph data.

In this paper, we propose a text processing method for Hindi characters, Devanagari scripts, in the Android. The key points of the text processing are to device automata, which define the combining rules of alphabets into a set of syllables, and to implement a font rendering engine, which retrieves and displays the glyph images corresponding to specific characters. In general, an automaton depends on the type and the number of characters. For the soft-keyboard, we designed the automata with 14 consonants and 34 vowels based on Unicode. Finally, a combined syllable is converted into a glyph index using the mapping table, used as a handle to load its glyph image. According to the multi-lingual framework of Freetype font engine, Dvanagari scripts can be supported in the system level by appending the implementation of our method to the font engine as the Hindi module. The proposed method is verified through a simple message system.

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.

한글 폰트는 서로 상반된 장단점을 가진 조합형 폰트와 완성형 폰트로 구분된다. 완성형 폰트는 조합형과 비교하여 우수한 품질을 가지지만 폰트 제작에 더 많은 시간과 노력을 요구한다. 특히 완성형 폰트는 폰트내의 중복된 자소들의 정보를 중복해서 저장하므로 폰트 저장에 필요한 공간이 더 많이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 트루타입의 합성 글립(Composite Glyph)을 이용하여 이들 중복된 자소를 최소화한 완성형 폰트를 구성하였다. 실험 결과 생성된 완성형 트루타입 폰트는 기존 완성형 폰트와 유사한 고수준의 품질을 유지하면서, 샘체의 경우 기존 폰트의 57.6%, 명조체의 경우 73.0%의 저장공간을 절약할 수 있었다.Abstract Hangul fonts are classified into 2 categories, complete type and combination type which have their own strength and weakness. The complete type shows a high quality of fonts, while the combination type takes less time, efforts, and storage space to develop. Since the Hangul makes a syllable by combining consonants with vowels, the complete type has many duplicates and requires a large storage space to save them. We present a method that minimizes the duplicates of the complete type of the Hangul using the composite glyph of TrueType. New fonts had high quality and saved storage space, for example Sam saved 57.6% and Myungjo saved 73.0% compared to old.

한글 폰트는 조합형 폰트와 완성형 폰트로 구분된다. 조합형 폰트는 폰트를 제작하는 시간과 노력이 적게 필요하지만 폰트의 품질이 완성형 폰트보다 뒤떨어진다. 완성형 폰트는 조합형과 비교하여 우수한 품질을 가지지만 폰트 제작에 더 많은 시간과 노력을 요구한다. 특히 완성형 폰트는 폰트내의 중복된 자소들의 정보를 중복해서 저장하므로 폰트 저장에 필요한 공간이 더 많이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 트루타입의 합성 글립(Composite Glyph)을 이용하여 중복된 자소를 최소화한 완성형 폰트를 구성하였다. 중복성을 최소화한 완성형 폰트는 기존 완성형 폰트와 유사한 고수준의 품질을 유지하면서 조합형 폰트와 유사하게 폰트 저장 공간의 크기를 절약할 수 있다.

폰트는 텍스트 정보를 기술하는 기본 요소로서 다양한 타입에 따른 독특한 감성정보를 내재하고 있다. 본 연구는 문서에 나타나 있는 영문폰트의 분포에 따른 감성정보 자동추출 시스템의 전처리 단계로서 문서상에서 특정의 폰트를 인식하는 모듈을 소개하고자 한다. 폰트 디자이너에 생성된 대부분의 폰트는 glyph data 라고 하는 2D boundary 좌표값에 의해 그 모양(Shape)이 결정된다. 이 데이터로부터 정의된 폰트밀도함수와 각 문자가 등장하는 보편적 확률 값의 linear combination으로부터 각 폰트를 식별할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a method for decomposing a Hangul glyph of outline fonts into its initial, medial and final components using statistical-structural information. In a font family, the positions of components are statistically consistent and the stroke relationships of a Hangul character reflect its structure. First, we create the component histograms that accumulate the shapes and positions of the same components. Second, we make pixel clusters from character image based on pixel direction probabilities and extract the candidate strokes using position, direction, size of clusters and adjacencies between clusters. Finally, we find the best structural match between candidate strokes and predefined character model by relaxation labeling. The proposed method in this paper can be used for a study on formative characteristics of Hangul font, and for a font classification/retrieval system.
