Fontender: A Method to Design Text by Font Fusion for Comic Creation

Abstract

Comics consist of panels, drawn images, speech balloons, text, and so on. In this work, we focused on the difficulty to design text which used for the narration and quotes of characters. In order to support creators to design text, we propose a method to design text by font fusion algorithm with arbitrary existing fonts. In this method, users can change font type freely by indicating a point ion the font map. In addition, we implement the prototype system and discuss the usefulness of our system.
