Embodiment Construction

[0026] The invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which a preferred embodiment is shown.

[0027] Figure 1 shows a list of command codes and corresponding functions used to process vector fonts.

[0028] Command code 0x0001 is used to specify the first or another starting point when generating characters. The command code 0x0002 draws a line segment by connecting a start point or the end point of the previous line segment with the point currently specified by the user. The command code 0x0003 is used to draw a Bezier curve by receiving the coordinates of 3 control points and connecting the 3 control points, such as a start point, a middle point, and an end point. The command code 0x0004 is used to fill the inner area of ​​the Bezier curve.

[0029] According to Figure 1, the command code 0x0001 and a coordinate are required to specify a starting point or a coordinate of an intermediate point, and move to the specified coord...

Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for generating transformed fonts using a small amount of memory by transforming vector font data stored in the memory and outputting the transformed vector font data. As to certain identical characters in one text, it is decided to transform the respective identical characters to different degrees or to the same degree. Then, a degree of character transformation is set according to the decision. According to the set degree, the character is transformed by moving feature points, which form the character, upward, downward, to the left, or to the right.

Description

[0001] Relevant references relevant to the application: [0002] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 2003-20440 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on April 1, 2003, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to font generation, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for generating transformed fonts by gradually transforming vector font data already stored in memory with minimal memory footprint, and outputting the transformed Vector font data for . Background technique [0004] A character is composed of several lines or edges, and a line or edge is composed of several points. Therefore, when a character is stored on disk or displayed on a display, it is processed in units of points, lines, or edges. Here, the method of processing characters in units of dots is called the bitmap font method, and the method of processing characters in ...
