[0024] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110 .

[0025] In this example environment 100, the electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports editing fonts. The application 120 may be any suitable type of application for editing fonts, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, design applications, drawing applications, text editing applications, or other suitable applications.

[0026] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100 , if the application 120 is active, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 150 for supporting font editing through the application 120 .

[0027] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to provide services for the application 120. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a handheld computer, a portable game terminal, a VR / AR device, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio receiver, an e-book device, a game device, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0028] The server 130 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

[0030] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0031] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example Interaction 1

[0033] FIG. 2A to FIG. 2H 200A to 200H according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The interfaces 200A to 200H may be composed of, for example, Figure 1 The electronic device 110 is provided as shown.

[0034] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may provide a font editing interface to the user, and the font editing interface may be used to edit the font style of the character. Specifically, the electronic device 110 presents the font editing interface, and the font editing interface includes a first group of adjustment controls and a font preview control, and the first group of adjustment controls corresponds to a set of preset attributes of the font style.

[0035] As an example, Figure 2A After receiving the font editing request, the electronic device 110 may present the following Figure 2AInterface 200A shown. Interface 200A can be, for example, a font editing interface provided by the electronic device 110 to the user, and the font editing interface can be used to adjust the style of the font. Interface 200A includes a first group of adjustment controls 201 and a font preview control 202. The first group of adjustment controls 201 includes a plurality of components for adjusting the attributes of the font style, and the attributes of the font style include basic attributes and high-order attributes. Basic attributes can include, for example, the width, height, and weight of the font, and high-order attributes can include, for example, the smoothness, curvature, and stroke misalignment of the font. Font preview control 202 is used to present a visual representation of a character. For example, the electronic device 110 can use style 1 to present characters in font preview control 202.

[0036] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present characters in the font preview component in a first font style. Specifically, the electronic device 110 presents at least one character in the font preview component based on the first font style. The first font style here may be, for example, a default font style of the electronic device 110.

[0037] As an example, Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can present the target character 203 in the font preview component 202 in a 20% bold style. The target character 20 can be, for example, the character “cap”.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also present multiple characters in the font preview control 202 in a style selected by the user. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may present a set of reference font styles. Further, the electronic device 110 may receive a selection of a first style in a set of reference font styles. As an example, after receiving a font editing request, the electronic device 110 may present a font selection window in the interface 200A to determine an initial font for presenting the target character 203. When the electronic device 110 receives the font style selected by the user in the font selection window, the target character 203 may be presented in the selected font style. In this way, the electronic device 110 may present the target character 203 in the font preview control 202 in the font style selected by the user, so that the user can edit the font style of the target character 203 based on the selected font style. Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure can effectively improve the editing efficiency of the font style.

[0039] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may receive a first configuration operation for adjusting the font style of the target character 203 through the first group of adjustment controls 201, and adjust the font style of the target character 203 based on the first configuration operation. Specifically, the electronic device 110 determines the second font style based on the first configuration operation associated with the first group of adjustment controls.

[0040] As an example, Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 may receive a first configuration operation associated with a user through the first group of adjustment controls 201. Such a configuration operation may be, for example, an interactive operation on any parameter adjustment control in the first group of adjustment controls 201, for example, a sliding operation on the parameter adjustment control 204. After the electronic device 110 receives the first configuration operation, the electronic device 110 may determine a second font style based on the first configuration operation, and the second font style may be, for example, presenting the target character 203 with a width A and a height B.

[0041] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may adjust the font style of all characters based on the first configuration operation. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may determine a global style applied to all characters based on the first configuration operation. Further, the electronic device 110 may determine a second font style based on the global style. As an example, when the electronic device 110 receives the first configuration operation, it may generate a global style based on the first configuration operation by default. The global style may act on all characters in the font preview component 202, i.e., "c", "a", and "p" in the target character 203.

[0042] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also adjust the font style of a separate character. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can determine the local style applied to the specified second character based on the first configuration operation. Further, the electronic device 110 can determine the second font style based on the local style. When adjusting the font style of a separate character, the electronic device 110 can also provide a character selection control in the font editing interface, and determine the second character (i.e., the single character to be adjusted) based on the input information of the character selection control.

[0043] As an example, Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can determine the single character to be adjusted (i.e., the second character) through the character lock control 205. The single character to be adjusted can be any character in the target characters 203, such as the character "a" in the target characters 203. After determining that the character "a" is the single character to be adjusted, the electronic device 110 can generate a second font style for the character "a" based on the first configuration operation to adjust the font style of the character "a" separately.

[0044] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can update the current first style of the target character 203 to the second font style. Specifically, the electronic device 110 updates at least one character in the font preview component to the second font style.

[0045] As an example, Figures 2A to 2BAs shown, the electronic device 110 can adjust the overall style of the target character 203. Specifically, after determining the second font style, the electronic device 110 can adjust the initial style (ie, the first style) of the target character 203 to Figure 2B Bold style shown.

[0046] Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may not only adjust the width of the target character 203 based on the second font style, but may also adjust the height of the target character 203. Figures 2B to 2D As shown, the electronic device 110 may provide a control 206 to the user, and the control 206 is used to trigger the switching of the first group of parameter adjustment components in the first group of adjustment controls 201. When the control 206 is selected, the electronic device 110 may switch the first group of parameter adjustment components in the first group of adjustment controls 201 to Figure 2C The second group of parameter adjustment controls shown. The second group of parameter adjustment controls can be associated with the height attribute of the target character 203, that is, the second group of parameter adjustment controls are used to adjust the height attribute of the target character 203. The second group of parameter adjustment controls includes a height adjustment panel 207, and the height adjustment panel 207 includes multiple height baselines, and the multiple height baselines correspond to different parts of the character. The user can adjust the height attribute of the target character 203 by adjusting any height baseline in the height adjustment panel 207. The height attribute of the target character 203 can be adjusted by adjusting the height baseline. Such an interactive method can make it easier for the user to adjust the font style, thereby further increasing the adjustment efficiency of the font style.

[0047] After the electronic device 110 determines the second font style for adjusting the height attribute of the target character 203 through the second set of parameter adjustment controls, the height attribute of the target character 203 can be adjusted based on the second font style to present the height attribute of the target character 203 in the font preview component 202 as follows: Figure 2D The target character 203 is shown.

[0048] Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may also receive a user selection for other controls for switching parameter adjustment components, and switch the parameter adjustment components in the first group of adjustment controls 201 to parameter adjustment components associated with other attributes in the font to adjust other attributes of the font.

[0049] In some scenarios, the electronic device 110 may also adjust the font style of a single character. Figure 2EAs shown, the electronic device 110 can present a character lock control 205 in the interface 200E. The electronic device 110 can receive at least one character input by the user through the character lock control 205 to determine the character that needs to be adjusted. Alternatively, when the character lock control 205 is selected, the electronic device 110 can present a character selection panel in the interface 200E, and such a character selection panel can be associated with multiple characters in the font preview component 202, for example. The characters to be selected in the character selection panel can include, for example, "c", "a" and "p". The electronic device 110 can obtain at least one character to be adjusted through the character selection panel.

[0050] When the character “a” is determined as the character to be adjusted, the electronic device 110 may adjust the style of the character “a” individually based on the second font style to present the target character 203 after the style adjustment in the interface 200E.

[0051] In some embodiments, after the second font style is determined, the electronic device 110 may present the newly received character in the second font style in the font preview component 202. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may receive an input operation of a user inputting a first character in the font preview component. Further, the electronic device 110 may present the first character in the font preview component based on the second font style.

[0052] As an example, after the second font style is determined, the electronic device 110 may receive a plurality of characters input by the user in the font preview component 202. After receiving the plurality of characters input by the user, the electronic device 110 may present the inputted plurality of characters in the second style, so that the user can view the second font style through the font preview component 202. In this way, the user can more conveniently view the created font style, and can make further adjustments based on the created font style.

[0053] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also save and publish the created font style (i.e., the second font style). Specifically, the electronic device 110 can create a font file corresponding to the second font style in response to receiving a publishing request. As an example, the electronic device 110 can also provide a font publishing control to the user in the font editing interface. When the font publishing control is selected by the user, the electronic device 110 can save the second font style and generate a font resource package (i.e., font file) based on the second font style. Such a font resource package (i.e., font file) can be used to provide the user with a saved second font style, so that after the user selects the font resource package (i.e., font file), the electronic device 110 can use the second font style associated with the font resource package (i.e., font file) in other scenarios. Such a scene can be, for example, any text editing scene, such as an image drawing scene (e.g., poster drawing), text content editing, video editing, etc. In this way, the font style can be effectively enriched, so that various media content drawn based on the second font style is more beautiful.

[0054] In this way, the disclosed example can support the electronic device 110 to adjust the font style of at least one character through the user's configuration operation, thereby effectively enriching the font style library and improving the editing efficiency of the font style.

[0055] Example Interaction 2

[0056] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may edit the skeleton structure of the target character 203 to determine the second font style. Specifically, in response to receiving a preset operation, the electronic device 110 may present a skeleton editing window, wherein the skeleton editing window includes a canvas component.

[0057] As an example, Figure 2F As shown, the electronic device 110 can present the following to the user: Figure 2F The interface 200F shown in FIG. 200F may be, for example, a font editing interface. The electronic device 110 may also present a control 207 in the interface 200F. The control 207 is used to trigger the presentation of a skeleton editing window in the interface 200F. After receiving the user's selection of the control 207, the electronic device 110 may present the following: Figure 2G The skeleton editing window 210 shown in the figure. The user can select the character of the skeleton to be adjusted and the font to be adjusted in the skeleton editing window 210.

[0058] In some scenes, the electronic device 110 can also present a control 208 in the interface 200F, and the control 208 can be bound to the character 209. When the control 208 is selected, the electronic device 110 can also present a skeleton editing window 210. When the electronic device 110 triggers the presentation of the skeleton editing window 210 through the control 208, the character of the skeleton to be adjusted is defaulted to the character 209 (i.e., the character "M"), without the user selecting again in the skeleton editing window 210. In this way, the font adjustment process can be simplified, thereby increasing the efficiency of the font adjustment. Of course, after the skeleton editing window 210 is presented, the user can still modify the character to be subjected to skeleton adjustment through the skeleton editing window 210.

[0059] When the skeleton editing window 210 is presented, the electronic device 110 presents a base film 212 of the character “M” in the canvas component 211. The base film 212 can be used to assist the user in determining the skeleton structure of the character “M”.

[0060] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may determine a set of skeleton points associated with a third character via the canvas component. Such a third character may be a character selected from the canvas component, or a character determined based on the first control in the skeleton editing window.

[0061] As an example, the electronic device 110 may provide a control 213 in the skeleton editing window 210, and the control 213 is used to select a third character. The electronic device 110 may obtain the user's selection operation through the control 213 to determine the third character. After the third character is selected, the electronic device 110 may present a base film 212 in the canvas component 211, and the base film 212 is used to assist the user in determining the skeleton structure of the third character. Further, the electronic device 110 may obtain a user interaction operation through the canvas component 211. Such an interaction operation may be, for example, a painting operation. The electronic device 110 may determine a set of skeleton points associated with the third character through the skeleton structure 214 indicated by the user's painting operation. In this way, the font adjustment process can be effectively simplified, thereby lowering the threshold for font editing and improving the efficiency of font editing.

[0062] In some scenarios, the electronic device 110 may also determine the third character through the user's drawing operation on the canvas component 211. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may obtain the user's drawing operation through the canvas component, and determine the skeletal structure to be identified based on the drawing operation. Further, the electronic device 110 may identify the skeletal structure to be identified to determine the third character corresponding to the skeletal structure to be identified.

[0063] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can determine the reference font style via the second control in the skeleton editing window. Further, the electronic device 110 can present a reference visual representation of the third character in the canvas component based on the reference font style. As an example, the electronic device 110 can provide a second control 215 in the skeleton editing window 210. The second control 215 can be used to select a reference font style. After the user selects the reference font style through the second control 214, the electronic device 110 can present a base film 212 corresponding to the reference font style in the canvas component 211 with the reference font style.

[0064] In some embodiments, after the reference font style is selected, the electronic device 110 may also present a set of reference skeleton points associated with the reference visual representation in the canvas component 211 .

[0065] As an example, when the reference font style is selected, the electronic device 110 may also present a preset bone structure associated with the reference font style in the canvas component 211. Further, the electronic device 110 may determine a set of reference bone points, such a set of reference bone points may be manually set by the user, or may be automatically determined by the electronic device 110 based on the preset bone structure. The electronic device 110 may receive the user's adjustment of the target bone point in the set of reference bone points to determine a set of bone points for adjusting the character style of the third character.

[0066] For example, Figure 2G As shown, the user can adjust the position of the skeleton point 216 in the character "M" so that the position of the skeleton point 216 is adjusted to the position of the point 217. After receiving the user's adjustment operation on the character "M", the electronic device 110 can determine a set of skeleton points for adjusting the third character style based on the adjusted skeleton structure of the character "M".

[0067] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also adjust the connection style between each skeleton point. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can provide a second group of adjustment controls in the skeleton editing window. Further, the electronic device 110 updates the position of a group of skeleton points and / or the connection style between a group of skeleton points based on the second configuration operation associated with the second group of adjustment controls.

[0068] As an example, Figure 2G As shown, the electronic device 110 may also provide a second set of adjustment controls in the skeleton editing window 210. The second set of adjustment controls includes at least a connection mode adjustment control 218. The connection mode adjustment control 218 is used to select the connection style between the skeleton points, such as a straight line connection, a curve connection, etc.

[0069] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may update the character style corresponding to the third character based on a set of skeleton points. Figure 2G and 2H As shown, after the electronic device 110 obtains a set of skeleton points through the skeleton editing window 210, the character style can be determined based on the obtained set of skeleton points. Further, the electronic device 110 can adjust the character style of the third character based on the determined character style to obtain the following: Figure 2H Character 219 is shown.

[0070] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide users with richer font style editing means, thereby enabling more diverse font style editing and more detailed editing of fonts.

[0072] Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example process 300 for editing a font according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 300 may be implemented at the electronic device 110. Figure 1 The process 300 is described below.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, in box 310, the electronic device 110 presents a font editing interface, which includes a first group of adjustment controls and a font preview component, and the first group of adjustment controls corresponds to a group of preset attributes of the font style.
