1. A method for rendering an image of a complex character for display on a monitor, wherein the image is formed of a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns and is represented by a raw character bitmap, comprising:

  • filtering the raw character bitmap to form a filtered character bitmap performing a first type scaling operation on the filtered bitmap to form a first scaled bitmap;

    determining a scalefactor based upon the first scaled bitmap and a target bitmap, wherein the target bitmap is suitable for storage in a memory device coupled to the monitor; and

    further recursively scaling the first scaled bitmap using a second type scaling operation to form the target bitmap based upon the scalefactor.
