Abstract
Methods and systems for rendering text to simulate human penmanship are described. A text rendering engine converts a text string into an image that can be displayed on a string using one or more seed numbers to influence the rendering and appearance of the text. The text rendering engine may render each character of the text string using a size, weight, slope, or Bezier curve control point selected based on the seed numbers.
