Abstract
In this paper
, a fast method for automatic generation and scientific design of Persian letters is proposed. Scientific typeface design is an approach in which fonts are described by mathematical curves with well-defined parameters, where these parameters can be automatically tuned. METAFONT is a language suitable for the type of design used in this work. This language is particularly useful in designing Persian fonts because it can be used to simulate the pen movements of a calligrapher through automatic conversion of the scanned bitmap image of a font into a METAFONT program, which can in turn, produce the font at a high quality. A complete software has been implemented based on these algorithms that works interactively with the user to facilitate the font design.
