Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for generating a font, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for forming various fonts by separating only a feature part (called a basic component) into each character and using each separated basic component. In order to provide a method and a device capable of forming various fonts by dividing each basic letter consisting of Korean characters into basic components and modifying and combining these basic components, it is input through an input means in the form of a keyboard or a file. An outline font forming apparatus for forming an outline font by using character data and character information control data, comprising: receiving character input data from the input means, converting the corresponding character into a code, and referring to a table from the converted code. Phoneme information extraction means for extracting each star; The phoneme information extraction number The basic component data is accessed by accessing the memory having information divided into the characteristic parts (the basic part) and the deformation information and the random deformation information for each basic component according to the initial, neutral and final data of the extracted character data. Character forming means for forming a new type of letter through the combination and change; Combining the respective letters formed from the letter forming means characterized in that it comprises a letter forming means for forming a single completed character As a basic component of numbers, various fonts can be formed by combining and modifying these various basic components, which can significantly reduce the memory required for storing font data and can form various fonts.
