  abstract =     "This contribution presents a simple method for the
                 automatic recognition and hinting of character
                 structure elements such as horizontal and vertical
                 stems. Stem recognition is based on successive steps
                 such as extraction of straight or nearly straight
                 contour segments, detection of hidden segments, merging
                 of original and hidden segments into larger segments,
                 sorting of segments into classes according to their
                 slopes and, finally, composition of black and white
                 stems. Reference values required for character hinting
                 purposes are obtained by evaluating the regularity of
                 the font through statistical analysis of features such
                 as stem widths and stem angles. Knowledge about the
                 location of stems and analysis of outline parts between
                 stems is used in order to produce automatically
                 appropriate grid constraint rules (hints). The
                 presented outline analysis and stem extraction
                 techniques are very general and may be applied to
                 non-Latin characters as well.",
