Srijika: OpenType-Layout-Reusing Font Restyling for Nine Indic Scripts
Srijika turns shaping-complete Indic template fonts into new installable OpenType fonts while keeping the layout machinery intact.
The system covers nine Brahmic scripts and preserves cmap, GSUB closure, and GPOS data under a stated metric policy. It produced 66 TTFs, all passing OpenType Sanitizer, with HarfBuzz and CoreText matching template glyph-ID sequences on conjunct-heavy tests. The paper is careful about limits: template copying beat generation on most held-out SSIM gates, and its measurable style shift depends on an internal embedding the author says should be treated cautiously.
