Letter Spirit is a project to make a program capable of inferring the style of
some letters in a font (actually, gridletters in a
gridfont, on a
digital grid, like a digital clock) and then completing the rest of the font
in that style. The first work was done by Gary McGraw on an Examiner capable
of simply recognizing letters in the first place; the first mostly complete
Letter Spirit was written by John Rehling. Our online papers include some old
papers by McGraw et al. on the project, including McGraw's thesis; John
Rehling's thesis naturally is the most complete description of his project.
Rehling's website
includes the grid, sample fonts, the code, and his thesis.
