  • Abstract
    This paper explores the construction method proposed by Said (1990), using basis functions which are derived from basis functions of Bezier and Bail. This method reduces to Bezier and Ball respectively by choosing suitable parameters (weight) for the Said case. The properties of the generated curves will be given in order to construct fonts which satisfy tangent plane continuity. Constructed curves and fonts using suitable weight are displayed.
