Abstract
A method of preserving the structure of a font character being scaled comprises analyzing the font character to determine if the font character is complex. If the font character is complex, information concerning the strokes forming the font character is extracted. The strokes are then scaled to a desired size using the extracted stroke information thereby to form a scaled font character.
