Making OpenType fonts with free software
Bednár, Peter ; Mekyska, Jiří (oponent) ; Rajmic, Pavel (vedoucí práce)
In thesis themes of typography and computer font of OpenType format is described in details. At the beginning attention is paid to historical development of typeface, where stress is laid mainly on development of Roman and white letter with their characteristics. Having presented basis of typography work is concentrated on topic of digital font with emphasis on possibilities of OpenType format. Further its characteristics and advantages were listed compared to another formats and it was evaluated as format appropriate also for creating font in education process. Letterspacing and kerning were mentioned between basic graphical modifications in creating fonts. In theoretical part of the thesis they were examined in available programs designed for creating font in OpenType format. Except free available means into summary were included also commercial types due to absence of more advanced instruments and functions with free available applications. In evaluation was found that the most convenient for education is Fontlab Fontographer commercial program, free Type lite and Fontforge indicated for Open-source platform. Practical part of the thesis is focused on two chosen programs for creating main font characteristics. The goal was to detect if it is possible to reach identical results when using both programs. Fontographer program enabled to use wide tool palette dedicated to vector graphic processing by means of Adobe Illustrator similar instrument. In the case of Type lite program there were rather less instruments, what is sufficient for elementary work and familiarization with creating of digital typeface. Freeware shortage is basic absence of kerning, spacing or hinting functions. Comparing program possibilities, it falls that freeware programs based on OS Windows with their functionality are sufficient only for entry level users. The best option within free available programs is Fontforge for OS Linux which supports mentioned typographic functions. Fontographer was recommended for teaching of basic characteristics of OpenType font format. Another goal of the thesis was creating of recommended work procedure for creating basic characteristics of OpenType font for students, that is enclosed at the end of the thesis.

Quality testing of existing computer fonts
Hryshkavets, Darya
Tahle bakalářská práce se zabývá nástroji pro testování kvality fontů v prostředí Context. V první části jsou stručně popsány některé existující moduly dostupné v Contextu a jsou vybrány ty, které jsou vhodné na testování kvality fontu. V další části jsou tyto moduly podrobně zkoumané a důležité příkazy jsou zdokumentované. Byl také vytvořen modul, který obsahuje některé z těchto příkazů s vylepšením, a také nové. V poslední části byl vytvořen manuál, který popisuje funkcionalitu nově vytvořeného modulu s jeho příkazy.

Proces návrhu, digitalizace a propagace vlastního fontu
Krčková, Anna ; Khabirova, Maja (vedoucí práce) ; Horný, Stanislav (oponent)
Práce se zaměřuje na vývoj, tvorbu a digitalizaci písma. Zkoumá, jak dalece musí člověk pochopit danou problematiku a nakolik musí znát historické pozadí vývoje písma tak, aby byl schopen sám kvalitní písmo vytvořit, jak pro svou vlastní potřebu tak pro jeho prodej. Dále definuje jakými parametry je dána kvalita písma a jak lze kvalitní písmo rozpoznat. V praktické části práce představuje principy a programy pro tvorbu písma, které jsou v současné době nejčastěji používané a představuje možnosti propagace a prodeje písma. Cílem je porovnat klady a zápory vlastní tvorby písma tak, aby ten kdo se zabývá touto otázkou, dokázal posoudit, zda se vyplatí investovat čas do tvorby vlastního písma či nikoliv, a eventuálně byl schopen základní abecedu vytvořit.
