齊伋體 - typeface from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books

LingDong-, updated 🕥 2022-12-30 19:38:32

齊伋體 qiji-font

Qiji-font (齊伋體) is:

A Ming typeface;
Extracted from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books (凌閔刻本);
Using semi-automatic computer vision and OCR;
Open source;
A work in progress;
Named in honour of 閔齊伋, 16th century printer;
Intended to be used with wenyan-lang, the Classical Chinese programming language.

📢 聲明：敝字體近日頗見流傳於網絡，然皆訛作“‘凌’东齐伋体”。鄙人名令東，字體名齊伋；強欲冠後以前者，亦以“令東齊伋體”為宜，望周知。🤦‍♂️

Progress

| Unique Glyphs | Covered Characters | Books Scanned | |---|---|---| | 4569 | 5916* | 李長吉歌詩 / 淮南鴻烈解 |

_{* Simplified forms fall back to traditional forms, more common traditional variants fall back to less common variant forms.}

Workflow

Step I: Download high resolution PDFs (from shuge.org) and split pages into images.

Step II: Manually lay a grid on top of each page to generate bounding boxes for characters (potentially replacable by an automatic corner-detection algorithm).

Step III: Generate a low-poly mask for each character on the grid, and save the thumbnails (using OpenCV). First, red channel is subtracted from the grayscale, in order to clean the annotations printed in red ink. Next, the image is thresholded and fed into contour-tracing algorithm. A metric is then used to discard shapes that are unlikely to be part of the character in interest. (This step does not produce the final glyph, only a quick-and-dirty extraction for intermediate processing.)

Step IV: Feed each thumbnail one by one into neural-net Chinese OCR to recognize the characters (currently using chineseocr/darknet-ocr, low detection rate, mediocre accuracy, very slow on CPU, looking for better alternatives).

Step V: Manually judge output of OCR: pick the best-looking instance of a given character, and flag incorrectly recognized characters.

Step VI: For the final character set, automatically generate fine raster rendering of each character. Each character is placed at its "visual" center by cumulatively counting pixels from left and right, as well as top and bottom, so that the "weight" of the character is on the centerlines, as opposed to centering the bounding box. Two thresholding methods are used, the global threshold is dilated and acts as a mask to the adaptive threshold, thus preserving details while blocking out surrounding boogers.

Step VII: Raster-to-vector tracing software potrace is used to convert the raster rendrings into SVG's. FontForge's python library is used to generate the final font file. Done!

_{As the number of characters grow, the above procedure is going to be less and less efficient, since new, previously unseen characters obtainable from each book processed are going to be rarer and rarer. An alternative method which involves clicking only on unseen characters to pick them out is under construction.}

Known Issues

Character sizes are sometimes inconsistent. Undergoing manual tweaking.

Development

Requirements:

Python 3
OpenCV Python (pip3 install opencv-python)
FontForge Python library (included in brew install fontforge)
Chinese OCR (e.g. chineseocr/darknet-ocr)
Raster-to-vector tracer (e.g. potrace)

The main code is contained in /workflow, and corresponds to the steps described above. Documentation for the code is yet to be done (soon), so feel free to inquire if interested. As you might have noticed, there is a ton of work involved in making a Chinese font, so contribution is very much welcome :)

Charset

Sheet of all unique glyphs sorted by unicode entry point, click to enlarge. (this is lossy JPEG, for full PNG, check here, for SVG, run node workflow/make_sheet.js)

Changelog

This document lists breaking changes for each major release.

See the GitHub Releases page for detailed changelogs: https://github.com/release-it/release-it/releases

v15 (2022-04-30)

Removed support for Node.js v10 and v12.

Removed support for GitLab v12.4 and lower.

Removed anonymous metrics (and the option to disable it).

Programmatic usage and plugins only through ES Module syntax (import)

Use release-it v14 in legacy environments.

v14 (2020-09-03)

Removed global property from plugins. Use this.config[key] instead.

Removed deprecated npm.access option. Set this in package.json instead.

v13 (2020-03-07)

Dropped support for Node v8

Dropped support for GitLab v11.6 and lower.

Deprecated scripts are removed (in favor of hooks).

Removed deprecated --non-interactive (-n) argument. Use --ci instead.

Removed old %s and [REV_RANGE] syntax in command substitutions. Use ${version} and ${latestTag} instead.

v12 (2019-05-03)

The --follow-tags argument for git push has been moved to the default configuration. This is only a breaking change if git.pushArgs was not empty (it was empty by default).

v11

The custom conventional-changelog increment (e.g. "increment": "conventional:angular") with additional script configuration is replaced with a plugin. Please see conventional changelog how to use this plugin.

The pkgFiles option has been removed. If there's a need to bump other files than what npm version bumps, it should be (part of) a plugin.

By default, the latest version was derived from the latest Git tag. From v11, if the repo has a package.json then that version is used instead. The use option has been removed. Also see latest version.

scripts.changelog has been moved to git.changelog

v10

Dropped support for Node v6
