Abstract
A method, computer system and computer-readable medium for generating an outline font of Asian language characters. The Asian language characters are defined by basic strokes. The basic strokes are identified by a plurality of key points and at least one width value. The computer system includes memory and a processor coupled to at least one output device. The processor retrieves a set of basic stroke defined characters and identifies a set of similar glyphs in the retrieved set of characters. Each glyph includes a set of basic strokes. The processor selects topographically representative glyphs from each identified set of similar glyphs, determines the intersecting points of the plurality of overlapping basic strokes for each selected glyph, generates outline data for each selected glyph according to the determined intersecting points and stores the generated outline data in memory. The processor also renders a character selected for display on an output device according to the stored generated outline data.
