Patent EP-0459605-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LINDENLAUF REGINA
IPC: B41B17/42
Filed: 1991-05-31
Abstract: A method of adjusting lateral distances between written characters is proposed, which written characters are stored as digital data for contours in storage devices of apparatuses for the electronic and/or mechanical reproduction of written characters, wherein each character is bounded to the left and to the right by a vertical boundary line which adjoins the contour element projecting the furthest to the right or to the left in each case. The height of the upper case characters is divided into a given number of equidistant height lines. In order that serifs are not placed too closely above curves, a covering curve is placed around the contour of the characters, which covering curve is considered the new contour for defining the lateral distance. If characters have recesses, an artificial contour curve is determined which flattens out the recesses. The white level of a white space located between the boundary line and the contour is determined by the distances between the respective boundary line and contour, covering curve or artificial recess contour which are summated in each case in respect of the height lines and divided by the number of the height lines. The distance between any two characters results from the difference between a standard distance and the sum of the white levels, the standard distance being determined by the distance between two characters with mutually facing lateral contours corresponding to the boundary lines.

     In step (a), a sufficient amount of an alkali compound is added under vigorous mixing conditions and in the presence of at least about 3% water to give a pH of at least about 5 in the gas phase of all the distillates produced in step (b). The conditions in step (a) can additionally be chosen so that substantially all free phosphorus is converted to an insoluble phosphate or phosphoro compound.
