Certain embodiments involve automatically controlling modifications to typeface designs. For example, a typeface design application provides a design interface for modifying a design of an input character from a typeface. The typeface design application accesses a machine-learning model that is trained, using multiple training typefaces, to recognize the input character as a reference character. The typeface design application receives, via the design interface, an input modifying the design of the input character. The typeface design application determines that the machine-learning model cannot match the reference character to the input character having a modified design. The typeface design application outputs, via the design interface, an indicator that the input character having the modified design is not recognized as the reference character.

Automatically controlling modifications to typeface designs with machine-learning models

A typeface processing application accesses a character skeleton, which has control points and curves defined by control points, and a character outline surrounding the character skeleton. The typeface processing application computes, for a design parameter of a design application, a graphics control dataset based on a particular control point. Doing so involves identifying a pair of control point positions and a pair of expansions of the character outline, where each position or expansion pair corresponds to a pair of design parameter values. The typeface processing application generates the graphics control dataset, which includes intermediate positions of the control point between the pair of positions and intermediate expansions of the character outline between the pair of expansions. The typeface processing application outputs the graphics control dataset to the design application, which can display, responsive to a selection of a design parameter value, modified character designs generated using the graphics control dataset.

Graphics control data for performing skeleton-based modifications of a typeface design

A computer-implemented method for designing a digital design layout that includes text includes receiving a first user input requesting creation of a text editing element. The text editing element may include a text window and one or more graphical user interface controls associated with the text window. In response to receiving the first user input, the text editing element is displayed via a graphical user interface. The text editing element includes a graphical representation of a text window containing text, an adjustable slide control for changing the text characteristic, and a resize handle for changing the size of the text window. The method further includes receiving a second user input requesting adjustment of the adjustable slide control. In response to receiving the second user input, a characteristic of the text contained in the text window is changed without changing the width and the height of the text window.

Dynamic text control for mobile devices

The system includes a digital camera or similar CCD or CMOS device which transmits image data to a computing device. Changes such as motion, light or color are detected in various sectors or regions of the image. These changes are evaluated by software which generates output to an audio speaker and/or to an infra-red, radio frequency, or similar transmitter. The transmitter forms a link to a microprocessor based platform which includes remote microprocessor software. Additionally, the platform include mechanical connections upon which a robot can be built and into which the digital camera can be incorporated.
