Abstract

Pixel-level monitoring and reconfiguring of both text inter-word spacing and individual character widths minimizes undesirable moire' channels and moire'-glyphs, and more particularly relates to operator-selected automatic intra-word space manipulation and automatic intra-character width manipulation to achieve a pleasing overall page effect with maximized freedom from moire'-maze and moire'-glyph visual effects, both in proportional spaced fonts and fixed-character-width fonts. Selective scrolling may be by black-spot instead of actual characters, to make the white moire'-effects stand out more clearly. The typesetter may alternate positive and negative, which is another way to emphasize the moire'-effects. A further sub-variant, called 'blush,' causes graying of spaces which are so surrounded by characters that they cannot participate in moire'-effects. This emphasizes the actual moire-effects. The typesetter may 'unselect,' by pointing a cursor at a moire'-effect and key + or - to accept the particular moire'-effect as benign, or to proceed with an amelioration procedure.
