Abstract
A method of compressing a bitmap of a symbol includes dividing up the symbol into one or more strokes which include a number of parallel, laterally adjacent, continuous line segments, run-length encoding each stroke to form a stream of line codes for that stroke, where the stream of line codes provides absolute values for position and length of one line segment and relative values of position and length for the other line segments; and then presenting the streams of the line codes in sequence, as a set representing the symbol.
