Srijika: OpenType-Layout-Reusing Font Restyling for Nine Indic Scripts

Read on arxiv.org

Summary

Srijika is a system for restyling OpenType fonts across nine Indic scripts by reusing existing template font layout data (GSUB, GPOS). This approach ensures complex script features like conjuncts remain consistent, addressing a major challenge in Indic font generation.

  • Srijika restyles glyphs for nine Indic scripts, preserving complex OpenType layout tables (GSUB, GPOS) from template fonts.
  • This method ensures consistency for intricate script features like conjuncts, half forms, and matra variants.
  • A reference-conditioned latent diffusion model redraws glyphs, followed by content gating and verification.
  • The system produces installable OpenType fonts that pass validation and reproduce template glyph sequences.

This work offers a robust method for generating new font styles for complex Indic scripts while preserving critical shaping behavior, which is crucial for typography and digital literacy.

    TanStack Charts α is a framework‑agnostic, TypeScript‑first charting library that implements a grammar‑of‑graphics API (marks, scales, channels, transforms, layers). It ships as a single npm package with adapters for React, Preact, Vue, Solid, Svelte, Angular, Lit, and vanilla DOM, and can run on server or client. The runtime is headless; type inference stays tied to the source row, so each mark…

    Typed Domain Grounding (TDG) embeds a DSL inside a mainstream language the LLM already knows (e.g., Kotlin) and uses the host compiler as an oracle. The author describes five building blocks—embedding, choosing a host language with high training‑data frequency, compiler‑driven type safety, a generate‑compile‑repair loop, and an on‑demand teaching tool—and shows measured results from kUML, a Kotli…
