Abstract
A computer-implemented method of generating a glyph in which a plurality of design characteristics are extracted from a target font and a source glyph program is generated using the design characteristics. The source glyph program defines a new glyph that corresponds to a character that is not present in the target font, e.g., the Euro, and is stylistically similar to glyphs of the target font. The new glyph may be added to the target font, it may be rendered on an output device, or it may be saved separately from the target font.
