abstract = "The rasterization process of characters from digital
outline fonts to bitmaps on displays must include
additional information in the form of hints beside the
shape of characters in order to produce high quality
bitmaps. Hints describe constraints on sizes and shapes
inside characters and across the font that should be
preserved during rasterization. We describe a novel,
fast and fully automatic method for adding those hints
to characters. The method is based on identifying
hinting situations inside characters. It includes
gathering global font information and linking it to
characters, defining a set of constraints, sorting
them, and converting them to hints in any known hinting
technology (PostScript, TrueType or other). Our scheme
is general enough to be applied on any language and on
complex scripts such as Chinese Japanese and
Korean. Although still inferior to expert manual
hinting, our method produces high quality bitmaps which
approach this goal. The method can also be used as a
solid base for further hinting refinements done
manually.",
