Method of Coding for Multicomponent Objects (RHA) and Its Application for Ordering Roman Fonts

The authors propose to systematize the font frameworks of the ''H'' sign types of different fonts on the base of the RHA information language, which has been developed for different types of objects, by assigning a code to the framework by placing the H font in the standardized window (FontWindow), with the subsequent calculation of quantity characteristics (characterizations). The codes are rendered in a diagram. The sorting of codes is carried out using the SBCO special alphabet, where S, B, C, O are, on one hand, code elements, and on the other hand, component designations of fonts frameworks. The sorting of codes is carried out by alphabets (1) ratings of assignment of components fields in a FontWindow, (2) entropies, and (3) anentropies. The codes are accompanied by the names of coded fonts. The authors propose a principle of placing codes, which does not depend on the name, style, width, the purpose of the font, and its author. The described method organizes H fonts by resembling of their frameworks. The created list-catalog can include all Latin and Cyrillic H fonts of direct inscriptions. The catalog layout includes 99 codes of H font frameworks ranged into 6 classes from 24 possible classes in the system made by authors. The proposed variant of the applying of the method can be used as a base of creating of a common method of coding and systematization of bicolored (in the present paper) and multicolored images on the plane, including maps and other presentations, which include sets of components of different colors and forms.
