Abstract
A graphic character that has a character matrix with a number of character units that are indivisible at least in either a horizontal direction or a vertical direction is scaled by dividing the character matrix into one first and at least one second character segment, each comprising at least one of the character units. The first character segment is symmetrically scaled using a first scaling factor and the second character segment is scaled using a second scaling factor different from the first scaling factor.
