چکیده

طراحی حروف، در سیر تاریخی خود، همگام با قابلیت های فناوری، اقدام به بهینهسازی خوشنویسی سنتی کرده است. عصر حاضر، عصر تکامل فناوری رسانههای دیجیتال است. در آغاز رونق رسانه های دیجیتال، طراحان وب برای نمایش متون مورد نظر خود در عموم وب سایت های فارسی زبان، از فونت «تاهوما» به عنوان فونت استاندارد استفاده میکردند. با ظهور وبفونتها، امکان استفاده از فونتهای گوناگون برای چیدمان صفحات وب به وجود آمد. با این حال، همچنان فونت تاهوما بیشترین کاربرد را در میان فارسیزبانان دارد. به نظر می رسد این فونت فاصله زیادی با اصول نوشتاری خط فارسی داشته و تنها به دلیل هماهنگی فراوان با ساختار فضای وب، مورد استفاده قرار گرفته باشد. در همین راستا، این مقاله با هدف بررسی میزان هماهنگی فونت تاهوما با ساختار فرمی حروف فارسی، به بررسی تشابهات و تفاوت ها، بر مبنای مطالعه تطبیقی ساختار این فونت و چهار اصل مهم در خط نسخ فارسی که شامل: اصول، نسبت، ترکیب و کرسی هستند، می پردازد. نتایج نشان می دهد، بسیاری از تغییرات اعمال شده بر روی فونت تاهوما، ارتباطی با حفظ خوانایی حروف در فضای پیکسلی نداشته و تنها محصول شناخت ناکافی طراحِ آن از خط فارسی است. همچنین دلیل استفاده فراوان کاربران از این فونت را می توان حمایت اغلب مرورگر ها و نیز میزان هماهنگی این فونت با صفحات نمایش دانست.

On this line, this paper is proceeded to basic aim in studding of the conformity "Tahoma" font with formic structure in Persian letters and examining the similarities and differences that are based on the comparative studding on this font structure and four important principles in the Persian Naskh calligraphy which include: principle, proportionality, composition and the baseline.

Also one of the reasons that user's wide pearly use from this font can be supported by most browsers and there is a coordination rate between this fonts with screen.
