ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for minimizing the visual degradation of a typeface wherein the need for the manual input of skilled technicians is eliminated and the important visual components of each character and the relationship of the visual components of each character with the other characters of the typeface are preserved. The characters are analyzed to determine the visual components in the horizontal and vertical direction which comprise each character and the priority of adjustment. Using the visual components determined, starting with the highest priority component, the coordinates describing each character are adjusted according to rules which are dependent upon whether the strokes formed are oriented in the horizontal or vertical direction. The adjustment of the lower priority visual components is dependent on the previously aligned components. The important visual components in the diagonal direction are subsequently adjusted in accordance with similar sized visual components in the horizontal and vertical direction wherein the dimensions of the adjusted horizontal and vertical components are maintained.
