There is a paper in IEEE Trans. on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal
Processing Vol. ASSP-26 No. 6 Dec. 1978  which deals with text
minification and magnification through the use of cubic splines
(the latest thing in image processing!) The paper is:

Cubic Splines for Image Interpolation and Digital Filtering.
by Hsieh S. Hou and Harry C. Andrews


We have considered implementing it to create new font sizes for our
laser printer (QMS) because the fonts that come with it are rather
poorly designed (they run together or are too far apart) and their
costs for the same font in a different point size is ridiculous !
Rather than pay for overpriced fonts that don't look good, we will
probably generate our own.
