1 Bitmap Font Basic Concept Easy-to-read Readable with clarity. Easy-to-see Distinguishable and recognizable with legibility. User-friendly Eye friendly with beauty and grace. Accordance with device design and application Harmonious with device atmosphere Customer Satisfaction Approach We can answer any inquiries concerning characters, font standard, typeface design and so on. We propose optimal font for your requirements, such as device conditions and image that they wish to convey by the display. We can offer suitable contracts to meet the customer s requests. We try to respond to any requirements, such as a new typeface, a new size, an unique design, and so on. HGUM Sans Medium is used at the catalog. 1

2 Bitmap Font Terms The terms used in this catalogue Bitmap size with letter size The size occupied by a character. (Character width) x (Character height) The maximum space size actually occupied by a character in the body size. (Design domain width) x (Design domain height) NOTE: Some characters are design beyond letter size such as box drawing characters, etc. Margin and Margin Location The interval between body size and letter size. When characters are displayed consecutively, it might be difficult to read caused by each characters contact with the other. In order to prevent it, it is necessary to have space at the line and the column without character. The space is made by the interval between body size and letter size. The Margin location, horizontal (left or right) and vertical (above or below), is specified by bitmap font. Line Width The dot numbers for thickness of dot strokes (horizontal line, vertical line, dot, etc.) A character with many dot strokes may be expressed with less dot numbers than those of the line width defined by each bitmap font. [Example] Bitmap / : 16x16 (15x15) /Line width : 1 dot Horizontal margin 1dot size (width) 15dots size (height) 16dots size (height) 15dots Vertical margin 1dot size (width) 16dots 2

3 Ricoh Bitmap Font Features Ricoh Gothic Typeface Specially Designed for Text Legible. - the space between lines affects how easy it is to read. It is easier to read when the space between lines is wide. However, the data volume in one shot may be too small when it is too wide. Ricoh s Gothic typeface is made with well balance by creating small space in the above. - When reading a long text, it is ideal to make all characters the same size in order to make it readable without tired. But, some characters may look bigger and the other smaller depending on the dot stroke composition. So, sizes in appearance look same by adjusting each character physical size. (1) Dot strokes are omitted from the point of view of the balance. No character clogging happens. (The image is shown below). [Example]: Sharing of dot and strokes [Example]: Omission of dot and strokes 2 dots were omitted 2 more dots were omitted. *Complicated characters only (2) Character size in appearance keeps same with adjusting the balance as a whole. For instance, complicated characters look smaller, while fewer dot stroke characters look bigger. Also when a surrounded area is large, the character looks larger. [Example] 磯 and 臼 are both Gothic typeface with body size 16x16 (letter size15x15). They appear the same size, but the actual domains are quite different as shown below. Actual character composition =15x15 Actual character composition =13x15 Ricoh Bitmap Font Loaded on MS Mincho and MS Gothic. Ricoh Bitmap Font has been adopted since Windows 3.1 OS. Small character size fonts frequently used are actually displayed by loaded bitmap fonts. (That is why they are easy-to-read.) Over 20 years, many people have looked at bitmap fonts without knowing it. Our bitmap fonts are used widely in Japan. 3

4 Supports Please feel free to consult us if you have any request for fonts. They can be not only specific requests, but also, non-specific ones like this kind of feeling. We promise to do our best to propose your optimal solution. [Example] File Format Conversion - BDF Format Conversion We can convert to BDF format file (*.bdf). NOTE: Please consult with us if you have any request, such as specification of typeface name, etc. - BMP Format Conversion We can convert to BMP format file (*.bmp) for each character one by one. NOTE: We will confirm specifications, such as colors for use, etc. - Other Formats Conversion Please contact us and let you know whether we can do or not. Multi-languages Support We can provide languages other than those listed on the catalogue. Please contact us and let us know languages you need. Bitmap We can create sizes other than those listed on catalogue. Please contact us and let us know sizes you need. Character Additions ARIB standard (ARIB STD-B24) characters addition : We can provide 536 characters of ARIB standard. NOTE: Please inquire us for the details. Kanji characters outside of the common list (167 characters) addition and replacement :We can provide 167 characters in CP932 out of 168 whose character style was changed in JIS X 0213:2004. NOTE: Please inquire us for the details. Original character addition and replacement : We offer legible characters by adding designs to similar character form. [Example] At small size of similar characters, the design difference becomes smaller (for example, zero as the number and O as alphabet). Ricoh make the shape of zero horizontally longer, and the shape of alphabet O rounder. Or it is an alternative solution to add slush to the zero to discriminate. Others please feel free to consult with us for other requests. For example, adding and removing space, allocation change, monospaced or proportional conversion, etc. 4
