ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for reducing a height of a font character in a nonlinear scaling process. The method includes reducing the height of the character by interacting with hinting instruction to adjust relevant instructions to thereby reduce the overall height of a font character while preserving as much of the integrity of the character as possible. The method includes an iterative process which selectively removes various pixels, defining an outline of a font character while maintaining a removal criteria, which results in a nonlinear height reduction in order to produce a font of a desired height.
