Abstract
In a display where all characters are displayed in equal sized spaces, such as a bus or vehicle sign, for example, the problem of characters appearing to merge from a distance is remedied. The spacing between characters is automatically adjusted in accordance with both the characteristics of the particular character representations displayed and their sequence within the display.
