<p>This invention relates to a method for displaying characters on a screen or printer, particularly kanji characters. The structure of the character is represented by stems and counters, both vertical and horizontal, the counters being the spaces between stems. The character is then transferred from character to display space. Either the horizontal or vertical counters are grouped into a first chain of counters. The non-integral counter widths of this chain are adjusted in relation to the other counter widths within the chain, selected counter widths being made equal to others within the chain in order to most faithfully reproduce the desired character. The remaining horizontal or vertical counters, if any, are also grouped into one or more series of chains which are also adjusted, chain by chain. Then the orthogonal set of counters are adjusted in the same way. The widths of the stems themselves may also be adjusted to more faithfully represent the character in the scale at which it will be displayed.</p> |
