Abstract
Methods and systems for defining characters, can involve selectively removing pixels from one or more characters and rendering a character with a user space equivalent to a device space. Multiple abutting non-line pixels can be removed among the pixels from the character(s). Furthermore, the character(s) including the multiple abutting non-line pixels as expected for the character(s) can be created prior to prior to selectively removing the pixels from the character(s). This approach can avoid partially marked pixels by setting user space equal to device space and then selectively removing pixels when printing microtext. Selective pixel removal allows for more white space and better recognition of characters such as, for example, '8' and “E”.
