Srijika system generates OpenType fonts for nine Indic scripts

Researchers have developed Srijika, a novel system designed to create installable OpenType fonts for nine Indic scripts, including Devanagari, Tamil, and Bengali. Instead of generating fonts from scratch, Srijika restyles existing glyph outlines from template fonts, ensuring consistency in complex character combinations and variants. The system produces a variety of fonts, passing quality checks and demonstrating accurate reproduction of glyph sequences, with evaluations showing its effectiveness compared to simpler baselines. AI

IMPACT This system could improve the availability and quality of digital text for underserved language communities.
