Contextual typesetting of mathematical symbols taking care of optical scaling
Jacques André, Irène Vatton · 1993
: Typesetting of mathematical formulae has conflicting requirements: on the one hand, optical scaling is a need for large symbols; in the other hand, large symbols are made of composite items that are neither easily nor nicely put together. In this paper it is shown that such large symbols should be computed at print time so that they reach the quality of metal typesetting. An implementation of such dynamic fonts is in progress in the Grif editor. Key-words: Mathematical symbols, dynamic font, optical scaling, Grif. (Resume : tsvp) This study is partly financed by the EEC/Comett II project no 90/3697/Cb (Didot: Digitizing and Design of Types).
