of font and medium on recognition/confusion. Proceedings
of the SIGCHI conference on Human Factors in Computing
Systems, 144-149.
Summary:
Procedure:
Experimenters examined errors and confusion matrices from
different fonts. Stimuli were displayed at a vertical
visual angle of 1 degree at 8 feet. Duration and luminosity
were adjusted for each individual to achieve approximately
50% correct identification for each font.
Stimuli
The 26 uppercase letters, either in a dot-matrix font, or
the stroked "Keepsake" font. Figure
1 from the article, reproduced below, shows the letters and font used.
This fontfile also available here seems to be similar to the stimuli used by Gupta et al.. (Thanks Aurelie Calabrese!)
Keepsake Font
Dots Font
Results
Confusion matrices for dot font and
stroked
font. Each row represents a stimulus, and each column a response.
