As the digital technology has improved, the numbers of Hangul font users have increased and their individual needs and taste are diversified. Therefore new and various Hangul fonts out of traditional form are developed and used. But under the present font classification system, it is hard to compare and analyze these various fonts. And the present classification system is hard to be the font user's guide for proper use of various Hangul fonts. For the better use of Hangul font, to diversify the font classification system is needed. So we propose the development of these thru classification standards. First, structural classification based on the structural character of Hangul. Second, image classification based on the visual images of each font. And third, usage classification based on the fonts proper usage in various media. For the development of various typographically balanced fonts and for the suitable and effective use of the various font, we must try to build the font classification system based on the diversified classification standards and build Hangul font database based on this classification system. Through these studies, we can expect the development of good quality fonts and the better use of these fonts.

Recently, research on various font designs has been actively conducted to deliver effective emotional information in a digital environment. In this study, we propose a Hangul font outline vector modification algorithm that effectively conveys sensitivity according to weather information and can be transformed immediately. The algorithm performs a series of transformations: sets outlines according to design pattern templates, calculates the glyph's position to reflect physical rules, splits outline segments into smaller sizes and deforms the outlines. Through this, we could create several vector font designs such as humidity, cloud, wind, and snow. The usability evaluation was close to good, so it can be used in diverse ways if we improve readability and effective design expression.

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.

Various researches on content sensibility with the development of digital contents are under way. Emotional research on fonts is also underway in various fields. There is a requirement to use the content expressions in the same way as the content, and to use the font emotion and the textual sensibility of the text in harmony. But it is impossible to select a proper font emotion in Korea because each of more than 6,000 fonts has a certain emotion. In this paper, we analysed emotional classification attributes and constructed the Hangul font recommendation system. Also we verified the credibility and validity of the attributes themselves in order to apply to Korea Hangul fonts. After then, we tested whether general users can find a proper font in a commercial font set through this emotional recommendation system. As a result, when users want to express their emotions in sentences more visually, they can get a recommendation of a Hangul font having a desired emotion by utilizing font-based emotion attribute values collected through the crowdsourced method.

This study is about the effect on the user's cognitive stress by font size when they read on PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). The evaluation was done through both subjective evaluation and physiological one, which is brain wave test, while the research and analysis were focused on the relationship between the user's cognitive stress and font, size. The two final results were found out as follows. 1) Font sizes, which were tested, were 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16points. Among theses, font size 14 was the least stressful for the users. while the most stressful size was found out 8 points. 2) The cerebral cortex reaction according to the font size activated occipital lobe, parietal lobe of occipital visual area. Here we could come to a very important conclusion that the smaller font size on mobile information appliances mate users the more stressed.

본 논문에서는 작은 크기의 한글 디지털 글자디자인의 형태 개발을 위한 기초 연구를 제안한다. 이 제안은 모든 디지털 디바이스에서 사용하고 있는 작은 크기의 한글 디지털 글자디자인의 판독성(Legibility)과 가독성(Readability) 향상시킨다. 또한, 디지털 디바이스에서 작은 크기의 한글을 읽을 때 우리 눈의 피로도를 덜어주고 보기 편안한 글자디자인의 기본 방향을 제시한다. 본 논문에서는 제안하는 한글 디지털 폰트는 기존 구글 폰트인 Noto Sans Korean 디지털 폰트를 기반으로 작은 크기 한글 글자디자인을 제안하였다. 작은 크기의 글자디자인 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 기존 한글 디지털 폰트의 비례보다 첫째, 제안하는 글자의 비례가 넓어지고. 둘째, 글자의 획 두께가 두꺼워지며, 셋째, 글자 돌기의 크기가 증가하고, 넷째, 글자의 여백이 증가해야 한다.

이 논문에서는 트루타입 폰트의 글자 외곽선 데이터를 이용하여 자동으로 한자의 획을 분리하고 획 순서를 정하는 방법을 제안한다. 트루타입 폰트에는 글자의 외곽선 정보가 벡터 형식으로 저장되어 있으며, 이러한 벡터들은 일정한 규칙으로 배열되어 있다. 이와 같은 벡터들의 배치를 이용하여 한자의 획이 될 수 있는 벡터들의 집합을 조합하여 독립적인 획을 분리해 내고, 글자를 획 별로 분리하여 본래 트루타입 폰트의 저장 형식과 동일한 파일 형식으로 저장한다. 또한 분리된 모든 획에 대하여, 획 이름을 정의하고, 정의된 획들 간의 위치와 상관관계를 이용하여, 획 사이의 우선순위를 결정하여 획 순서를 부여한다. 이 작업들은 사람의 작업 없이 순수하게 자동으로 이루어지므로, 시간과 노력을 최소화 할 수 있다. 게다가, 획 별로 분리되고 순서대로 정리된 한자들은 트루타입 폰트에 저장되어 있는 모양과 특성을 그대로 가지고 있으므로, 단순히 폰트 자체로써 사용할 수도 있을 뿐만 아니라, 한자 학습 컨텐츠로도 이용이 가능하며, 각종 애니메이션 효과 등 다양한 분야에서 융통성 있게 활용될 수 있다.

In this thesis, we represent the study on the design and implementation of the hangul graphic board which generate bit map font data from the boundary information of korean or chines fonts. The implemented graphic board consists of a TMS34010 Graphic System Processor (GSP) and two TMS320C25 Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and there is shared memory which consists of two memory blocks with same address for which is possible parallel processing between two processors. And in using DSP, we propose an efficient algorithm for calculation of Bezier curve which require much times to calculate bit map data font from the boundary information.
