<p>A method of generating a second, substantially anti-aliased, representation of a character from a first representation is disclosed. The second representation is comprised of horizontal lines of dots that are shifted horizontally relative to dots of the first representation, each dot of the first representation having a value DOT1 associated therewith. The method include a step of, for each horizontal line (1-m) within the first representation of a character and for each dot (1-j) within a horizontal line, determining a modifying value (DOT1k) associated with a dot(k) of the first representation, DOT1k being a function of DOT1 of the dot(k). The value (DOT2k) of a corresponding dot for the second representation is generated, the value of the corresponding dot being determined in accordance with the expression DOT2k = (( DOT1 - DOT1k ) + DOT1(k-1) ), where DOT1(k-1) is a modifying value of an adjacent dot on the horizontal line. The modifying value is preferably determined by a table look-up procedure within a table of previously generated values. <IMAGE></p> |
