Re: AlphabetMagic. My first AI experiment
unrelated to the latest experiment, I had a thought around beziers. could you do some kind of reinforcement learning on the autotraced outputs? I only have a cursory understanding of how this works, …5 -
Re: Icons to font file conversion
The pysvg2font is a program that runs on your own computer, so your SVG files and the resulting font file never leave your computer. With Icomoon, you upload the SVG files to their server. It's an ap…1 -

Re: AlphabetMagic. My first AI experiment
Experiment 16: New Latin Lowercase Lettershapes This time I wanted to experiment if the AI can create new latin lowercase letters shapes. For this I've super-trained the network (30x more time than u…2 -
Re: AlphabetMagic. My first AI experiment
As I say, I don’t know enough about how the machine learning works to know whether the AI will be able to reach a point of generalising shapes independent of style in the way that a human does. So, f…1 -
Re: AlphabetMagic. My first AI experiment
I suppose the question is: can you train the machine to understand shapes as something distinct from the particular style applied to those shapes? I don’t understand enough about how the training wor…1 -
Re: 80s / 90s font production software and workflow?
Besides this, I know I am an "oddity" but I was never able to actually use Fontographer. Compared to FontStudio it seemed something archaic and cumbersome… :-)1 -
Re: Texture not quite right? (Royale: WIP sans)
@"Noah Burney" As for the vertical metrics, as long as the highest and lowest points in a font fall into 120% UPM, it should be fine. It's ok they touch, the overlap is what should be avoid…1 -
Re: 80s / 90s font production software and workflow?
That certainly seems familiar, that Carol was still using FontStudio when we joined in ’97.1
