LoGAN is a VLM-based agentic framework designed for few-shot multilingual font localization. It takes a handful of glyphs or logo letters and generates complete character sets across many languages, including CJK, by combining a glyph-level diffusion model, style finetuning, spacing/kerning transfer, and texture expansion. The method outperforms specialized font generators and state‑of‑the‑art image editors in glyph fidelity, style, texture, and kerning consistency on datasets covering more than 27 languages.

arXiv:2601. 09566v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this work, we study whether rendering Chinese characters as visual glyph images, rather than discrete token IDs as mainstream LLMs do, providing an inductive bias for character-level language modeling.

Teaching machines to emulate natural handwriting styles remains an open challenge, as it requires synthesizing stroke sequences that dynamically vary in shape, texture, pressure and script - not only across individuals, but also within a single person's handwriting. Attempts at this challenge have largely explored deep learning methods in both online and offline settings.

Abstract: Realistic online handwriting depends not only on individual character shapes, but also on how a writer connects, spaces, and aligns adjacent...
