ABSTRACT:
A method of italicizing a font includes the steps of slanting a symbol stored in a generic font format as an arrangement of pixel locations by offsetting the arrangement of pixel locations at a predetermined slope to create a staircase edge; and inserting additional pixels at predetermined locations by a predetermined transformation of the generic font format to conceal the staircase. The method does not require the storage of additional pixel information relating to the symbol. In addition, the predetermined transformation eliminates complex pixel positioning programming requiring an analysis of the symbol pattern and recognition of the location in the pattern where a staircase concealing pixel should be located.
