Abstract
A computer-implemented method for producing optimized fonts for display on a screen is disclosed. The method includes: forming a font space in which various fonts are characterized by dimensions of the font space; selecting a starting point in the font space, wherein an associated starting font belongs to the starting point; continuously changing the position in the font space and thereby changing a font used for display in order to find an optimum for at least one parameter value; and providing the optimized fonts for display on the screen.
Claims8
A computer-implemented method for producing optimized fonts for display on a screen, the method comprising:
- forming a font space in which various fonts as specific typefaces are characterized by dimensions of the font space or providing parametric font spaces, wherein the font space is formed as a continuous space with a dimension N that interpolates between M known fonts;
- selecting a starting point in the font space, wherein an associated starting font belongs to the starting point;
- continuously changing a position in the font space and thereby changing a font used for display in order to find an optimum for at least one parameter value;
- and
- providing the optimized fonts for display on the screen.
A system for producing optimized fonts for display on a screen, the system comprising:
- a font producer configured to form a font space in which various fonts are characterized by dimensions of the font space, wherein the font space is formed as a continuous space with a dimension N that interpolates between M known fonts;
- a font optimizer adapted to select a starting point in the font space, wherein an associated starting font belongs to the starting point, and to change a font used for display by continuously changing the position in the font space in order to find an optimum for at least one parameter value;
- and
- an output interface for a screen configured to output the optimized font for display on the screen.
