Device and method for automatic changing type face in type-setting process

Abstract

A method for automatically transforming character in type-setting course includes setting typeface environment according to operation of user and utilizing character font environment adaptive transform means based on said set typeface environment to transform character front automatically.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of typesetting and printing, and in particular relates to a device and method for automatically changing fonts in the typesetting process. Background technique [0002] Text is the most important carrier form of information in typesetting and printing. In the prior art, it is generally installed in the system in the form of a font library for use. The typesetting text can only specify one physical font, and the design of each font Stroke thickness is the best display effect only in a certain change area of ​​the font size, but beyond this area, the display effect is obviously worse, and the font itself cannot be automatically converted according to specific setting conditions. [0003] Text has different visual effect requirements in screen display and printing, and there is often a situation where the fonts supported by the printer are inconsistent with the screen fonts. The same physical font cannot well adapt to th...

[0002] Text is the most important carrier form of information in typesetting and printing. In the prior art, it is generally installed in the system in the form of a font library for use. The typesetting text can only specify one physical font, and the design of each font Stroke thickness is the best display effect only in a certain change area of ​​the font size, but beyond this area, the display effect is obviously worse, and the font itself cannot be automatically converted according to specific setting conditions

[0003] Text has different visual effect requirements in screen display and printing, and there is often a situation where the fonts supported by the printer are inconsistent with the screen fonts. The same physical font cannot well adapt to the needs of different application environments, such as United States Patent 5,142,613" Fontmanaging apparatus for a character generator”August 25, 1992, the patent proposes a font box that can automatically adapt to changes in fonts, but this patent is only for printouts, when a font is missing, a physical font and another Transformation processing of physical fonts,

[0004] At present, character animation processing is also a difficult problem. How to quickly and effectively realize the animation effect without affecting the printing quality is seeking a better solution, such as United States Patent 6,504,545 "Animated font characters" January 7, 2003, the patent passed Deform the glyphs to achieve the animation effect of the text. Obviously, the character animation effect is limited by the glyph deformation algorithm, and only simple character animation can be realized.

[0005] The above invention is an improvement of the method for the application environment of individual specific characters. No device and method for automatic font conversion in the typesetting process has been found in the existing literature or patents, that is, by additionally setting the application environment and application rules of the font, Realize the automatic switching of automatic fonts without affecting the content of document production
