• Abstract: Direct generation of Chinese vector fonts is a challenging and ongoing problem. A Chinese vector glyph contains complex component structure, anchor layout, and Bézier curve details, which work at different scales, but a standard vector sequence writes them together in one long sequence, making the task of vector font synthesis challenging. Existing direct vector generators often fail on complex characters, while raster-domain methods must vectorize the synthesized glyph images afterward. To address the above-mentioned problem, this paper proposes VecFontLLM, an anchor-guided multimodal large language model for direct few-shot synthesis of Chinese vector fonts. Our key idea is to generate vector glyphs through anchors rather than a standard vector sequence. Specifically, the proposed VecFontLLM first predicts and refines an anchor scaffold that fixes the coarse layout of components and contours, and then completes Bézier control points to recover local curvature and style. At test time, a confidence-guided generation chain samples multiple component candidates and continues synthesis from the highest-confidence one, improving stability for complex glyphs. This work demonstrates, for the first time, high-quality few-shot synthesis of complex Chinese vector glyphs directly in the vector domain, without raster generation or vectorization. Experiments on several Chinese font datasets show substantial improvements over existing vector font synthesis methods, competitive glyph rendering quality against raster-domain baselines, and vector command distributions close to real fonts.

  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.
