• Abstract: Designing fonts for Chinese characters is highly labor-intensive and time-consuming. While the latest methods successfully generate the English alphabet vector font, despite the high demand for automatic font generation, Chinese vector font generation has been an unsolved problem owing to its complex shape and numerous characters. This study addressed the problem of automatically generating Chinese vector fonts from only a single style and content reference. We proposed a novel network architecture with Transformer and loss functions to capture structural features without differentiable rendering. Although the dataset range was still limited to the sans-serif family, we successfully generated the Chinese vector font for the first time using the proposed method.

  We propose a novel Skeleton and Font Generation Network (SFGN) to achieve a more robust Chinese character font generation. We conduct experiments on misspelled characters, a substantial portion of which slightly differs from the common ones. Our approach visually demonstrates the efficacy of generated images and outperforms current state-of-the-art font generation methods.

  We propose a VQGAN-based framework (i.e., VQ-Font) to enhance glyph fidelity through token prior refinement and structure-aware enhancement. Specifically, we pre-train a VQGAN to encapsulate font token prior within a codebook. Subsequently, VQ-Font refines the synthesized glyphs with the codebook to eliminate the domain gap between synthesized and real-world strokes.
