ABSTRACT:
A method, computer graphical user interface tool, and computer-readable medium for generating a set of characters for display in gray scale are provided, wherein each character comprises one or more strokes/glyphs, and each stroke/glyph is defined in silhouette-oriented representation. The method includes generally six steps. First, a set of characters is displayed, wherein each character comprises one or more strokes/glyphs, and all of the strokes/glyphs are represented by a set of basic strokes/glyphs, each basic stroke/glyph topographically representing a set of similarly-shaped strokes/glyphs. Second, each basic stroke/glyph is defined in silhouette-oriented representation. Third, each stroke/glyph forming each character is defined in silhouette-oriented representation. Fourth, the set of characters is rendered in gray scale. Fifth, the proper appearance of the characters is verified. Sixth, if the appearance is not satisfactory, the method returns to the second step and repeats the subsequent steps until the proper appearance of the characters is verified.
