Generating personal handwriting fonts with large amounts of characters
is a boring and time-consuming task. Take Chinese fonts as
an example, the official standard GB18030-2000 for commercial
font products contains 27533 simplified Chinese characters. Consistently
and correctly writing out such huge amounts of characters
is usually an impossible mission for ordinary people. To solve this
problem, we propose a handy system to automatically synthesize
personal handwritings for all characters (e.g., Chinese) in the font
library by learning style from a small number (as few as 1%) of
carefully-selected samples written by an ordinary person. Experiments
including Turing tests with 69 participants demonstrate that
the proposed system generates high-quality synthesis results which
are indistinguishable from original handwritings. Using our system,
for the first time the practical handwriting font library in a user’s
personal style with arbitrarily large numbers of Chinese characters
can be generated automatically.
