Abstract
Processes and systems for creating and/or modifying font glyphs comprising the addition of variably-sized negative space perforations in various shapes placed among the glyph body black space and within the glyph body outline. Within each negative space perforation may be placed nested positive space perforations of variable size and shape. A user of font glyphs generated in accordance with the invention can employ the font glyphs for on-screen digital viewing and/or for hardcopy prints. By using variable-sized perforations and variable-sized nested perforations, font glyphs are generated that consume less printing compound when generating hardcopy text. Font glyphs generated in accordance with the invention are more efficient to use when printing hardcopies due to intelligently arranged negative/positive space that utilizes print compound bleeding, when available, and display only the most distinct sections of each font glyph, assisting in maintaining sufficient text legibility.
