Scanner to bitmap to PostScript
With Sandro Mazzucato, we developed a program that takes fonts from scanner to bitmap to PostScript type 1 outline. The Bézier curves in the outline are found by a specially adapted random search method. Some of the fonts are freely available for everyone except for persons or companies that are now selling (or intend to sell) fonts for profit. Random search in automatic font generation (1994) is an article by Luc Devroye and Sandro Mazzucato that describes the entire process. |
