  abstract =     "The idea of type as a fixed geometrical object is
                 shown to be inadequate for script types. The method
                 presented creates ligatures between script font glyphs
                 on-the-fly, i.e. as a part of the glyph rasterization
                 process. This is done by manipulation of an existing
                 font. So the process described here can be used to give
                 existing fonts the intelligence to join characters
                 correctly when being interpreted by a standard font
                 rasterizer or print server. Of vital importance to the
                 method is the natural appearance of the curve serving
                 as the `ligature backbone'. In this article, a new
                 smoothness criterion for curves is developed. Then, a
                 method is presented that creates a curve connecting two
                 given curves in a natural-looking way --- this is done
                 by optimizing a parametric curve by means of the new
                 criterion. With this algorithm being integrated into
                 on-the-fly generation of script font ligatures, these
                 ligatures get the required level of quality.",
