Automatic few-shot font generation is in high demand because manual designs are expensive and sensitive to the expertise of designers. Existing methods of few-shot font generation aims to learn to disentangle the style and content element from a few reference glyphs and mainly focus on a universal style representation for each font style. However, such approach limits the model in representing diverse local styles, and thus make it unsuitable to the most complicated letter system, e.g., Chinese, whose characters consist of a varying number of components (often called "radical") with a highly complex structure. In this paper, we propose a novel font generation method by learning localized styles, namely component-wise style representations, instead of universal styles. The proposed style representations enable us to synthesize complex local details in text designs. However, learning component-wise styles solely from reference glyphs is infeasible in the few-shot font generation scenario, when a target script has a large number of components, e.g., over 200 for Chinese. To reduce the number of reference glyphs, we simplify component-wise styles by a product of component factor and style factor, inspired by low-rank matrix factorization. Thanks to the combination of strong representation and a compact factorization strategy, our method shows remarkably better few-shot font generation results (with only 8 reference glyph images) than other state-of-the-arts, without utilizing strong locality supervision, e.g., location of each component, skeleton, or strokes.

Introduction

Pytorch implementation of Few-shot Font Generation with Localized Style Representations and Factorization.


Prerequisites

conda install numpy tqdm lmdb ruamel.yaml jsonlib-python3 msgpack

Usage

Prepare datasets

Build meta file to dump lmdb environment

  • To build a dataset with your own truetype font files (.ttf), a json-format meta file is needed:
    • structure: dict
    • format: {fontname: {"path": path/to/.ttf", "charlist": [chars to dump.]}}
    • example: {"font1": {"path": "./fonts/font1.ttf", "charlist": ["春", "夏", "秋", "冬"]}}

The font file we used as the content font can be accessed here.

Run script

python build_dataset.py \
    --lmdb_path path/to/dump/lmdb \
    --meta_path path/to/meta/file \
    --json_path path/to/save/dict
  • arguments
    • --lmdb_path: path to save lmdb environment.
    • --meta_path: path to meta file of built meta file.
    • --json_path: path to save json file, which contains information of available fonts and characters.
      • saved json file has format like this: {fontname: [saved character list in unicode format]}

Build meta file to train and test

  • train meta (dict, json format)

    • should have keys; "train", "valid", "avail"
    • "train": {font: list of characters} pairs for training, dict
      • key: font name / value: list of chars in the key font.
      • example: {"font1": ["4E00", "4E01"...], "font2": ["4E00", "4E01"...]}
    • "avail": {font: list of characters} pairs which are accessible in lmdb, dict
      • same format with "train"
    • "valid": list of font and list characters for validation, dict
      • should have keys: "seen_fonts", "unseen_fonts", "seen_unis", "unseen_unis"
      • seen fonts(unis) : list of fonts(chars in unicode) in training set.
      • unseen fonts(unis): list of fonts(chars in unicode) not in training set, for validation.
    • An example of train meta file is in meta/train.json.
  • test meta (dict, json format)

    • should have keys; "gen_fonts", "gen_unis", "ref_unis"
    • "gen_fonts": list of fonts to generate.
    • "gen_unis": list of chars to generate, in unicode
    • "ref_unis": list of chars to use as reference chars, in unicode
    • An example of test meta file is in meta/test.json.

Modify the configuration file

We recommend to modify cfgs/custom.yaml rather than cfgs/default.yaml, cfgs/combined.yaml, or cfgs/factorize.yaml.

  • data_path
    • path to data lmdb environment.
  • data_meta
    • path to train meta file.

    • the name of font you want to use as source font.
  • other values are hyperparameters for training.
