Abstract(in English) In the ubiquitous society, text information distribution is one of the most important communication methods and a variety of text information are always displayed on cellular phone, navigation system, DTV, etc. Therefore, it is very important to improve the readability of text on displays. However, designing fonts for specific devices requires a long development period, whereas print type has been gradually developed in long history. In this paper, considering the center of gravity of characters, which makes a large impact to the readability, a subjective evaluation method and a contour-based evaluation method of center of gravity have been proposed. The proposed method can explain the relations between the readability and the center of gravity.
