Abstract
An apparatus for composing a printable text, comprising coded characters, comprises: A--a text-composing device; B--a memory for storing character grids, representing clear characters, arranged in at least a coded font wherein the character grids are derived from a common, scrambled reference grid; and C--means associated with said text-composing device for selecting clear characters or character grids, as desired. A process for composing a printable text, comprising coded characters and graphic matter obtained thereby, are also described.
Claims9
Process for composing a printable text, comprising coded characters, by:
- 1. defining, at least ideally, at least one blank grid;
- 2. creating a reference grid consisting of a scrambled distribution, as hereinafter defined, of at least two digitizable values in the cells of the blank grid;
- 3. creating at least one coded font by:
- a. individually comparing each digital value of each character to be comprised in the font to the corresponding digital value of the reference grid;
- and
- b. changing the digital value of the reference grid whenever the corresponding digital value of the character is one of the two possible values, and leaving it unchanged whenever it is the other possible value, whereby to create a scrambled character grid which represents the character;
- 4. storing in a memory commands for alternatively selecting characters or character grids, as desired;
- and
- 5. defining by means of a text composing device the desired text, wherein the clear characters are represented in a conventional way and the coded characters are represented by the corresponding character grids, whereby to compose the text.
