Abstract
Although word-processed sentences are easy to read because of the use of standardized character fonts and their orderly arrangement, these sentences lack a writer’s individual style and thus fail to convey the writer’s true message. Recently in response to this, word-processed sentences with personal fonts are desired. On the other hand, distinguished calligraphers decide character arrangements in consideration of the character structures. In order to create word-processed sentences with personal fonts, we measure character arrangements and structures, and investigate the relationship between them by means of multiple-regression analysis. We propose based on the results a new printing method of word-processed sentences with personal fonts. When the method is used, character arrangements of word-processed sentences with personal fonts resemble handwritten sentences. Word-processed sentences made by this method give readers a better feeling than those made by the traditional one.
