Font designers need to spend the same amount of time and efforts when designing a different style of an already designed outline font like italic, bold, and so forth. On the other hand, METAFONT expresses fonts by tracing the skeleton of characters with a pen. It can easily change the style of characters only by altering the shape of a pen. However, since the METAFONT is a programming language, it is difficult to be used by font designers who are not familiar with programming languages. In this paper, we propose a web-based font editor based on METAFONT, which can be used to easily edit Korean/Chinese fonts. It extracts parameters of characters based on their anatomy and applies them to modify fonts using GUI.
