METHODS, APPARATUS AND DATA STRUCTURES FOR MAINTAINING THE WIDTH OF CHARACTERS HAVING THEIR RESOLUTION ENHANCED AND FOR ADJUSTING HORIZONTAL GLYPH METRICS OF SUCH CHARACTERS

摘要

The widths of characters, that have had (or that are having) resolution enhancement processing applied, are adjusted so that the widths of the characters are maintained (3000''). In this way, formatting of any file including such characters is maintained. Specifically, the advance width of each character may be adjusted (1630). A non-uniformity of gaps between characters may be minimized by adjusting the left and/or right side bearing of each character (1640, 1660). Finally, a non-uniformity in the weight of character lines may be minimized by adjusting the black body width of each character (1630).
