FontDiffuser: Text to Font

Motivation Task Definition: Font generation is an imitation task, which aims to create a font library that mimics the style of reference images while preserving the content from source images. Existing Problems: Existing font generation methods have achieved satisfactory performance, but they still struggle with complex characters and large style variations, leading to severe strok missing, artifacts, blurriness, layout errors, and style inconsistency as shown in the above figures. Reason Analysis: (1) Most methods adopt a GAN-based framework which potentially suffers from unstable training due to their adversarial training nature. (2) Most of these methods perceive content information through only single-scale high-level features, omitting the fine-grained details that are crucial to preserving the source content, especially for complex characters. (3) Many methods that employ prior knowledge to facilitate font generation, such as stroke or component composition of characters; howeve ... Read full article.
